Chelsea’s first real test comes away at Manchester United in the middle of September. It is part of a favourable opening run for the Blues as they do not leave London in their first four games.
Further London derbies against Tottenham and Arsenal come in November. They meet champions Liverpool on October 4, with the return game set for May which is their penultimate away fixture of the season.
The traditional festive period will see Chelsea welcome Aston Villa to Stamford Bridge the day after Boxing Day before hosting Bournemouth to round off the calendar and into 2026. The season concludes away at newly-promoted Sunderland.
