Chelsea's 2026/27 Premier League fixtures announced

A pair of West London derbies will bookend the new season, with the Blues beginning the campaign with a Monday night trip to Fulham and wrapping up in May with Brentford visiting Stamford Bridge. That game at Craven Cottage will be shown live on Sky Sports as the first Monday Night Football of the season.

Our first home league game comes at the end of August, when Brighton visit SW6. Before that, we will have a Carabao Cup second round fixture a few days prior.

We head to the Emirates to face Arsenal in early September, before facing Championship play-off winners Hull City at home on Saturday 12 September, while Tottenham will visit Stamford Bridge on Saturday 24 October.

We host Manchester United on Saturday 31 October, before a big December double-header awaits when we welcome Liverpool to London on Saturday 5 December before facing Manchester City a week later at the Etihad on Saturday 12 December.

The festive period will see us host Aston Villa on Saturday 19 December, before a Boxing Day reunion with Frank Lampard in the Midlands when we face Coventry. We then wrap up the calendar year with a trip to Suffolk to face Ipswich Town – another newly-promoted side – on Wednesday 30 December.

Our first contest of 2027 will take place at Stamford Bridge, with Newcastle visiting on Saturday 2 January.

We end the season with a busy May period, with five games awaiting the Blues. That starts with a trip to Liverpool on Saturday 1 May, before facing Spurs at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium a week later.

Everton at home comes next, on Saturday 15 May, before we end the season with a trip to Bournemouth on Sunday 23 May and a home date with Brentford on Sunday 30 May.

As is always the case, the fixtures listed are subject to change due to potential rescheduling. There is more information on that below.

Changes to fixtures

Supporters are reminded that throughout the campaign there will be alterations to the fixtures. Match dates can change for a variety of reasons, including live TV broadcast selections and to accommodate matches in cup competitions, including movement from Saturday to Sunday due to any team's involvement in European competition. For this reason, Premier League fixtures are always advertised as being subject to change.

The Premier League has committed to giving supporters a minimum of six weeks' notice (from the first match in the relevant month) on broadcast selections until December, and five weeks from January until Match Round 37.
