Chelsea's 2025-26 Premier League Schedule Revealed: All Major Clashes Including Arsenal and Man United Showdowns
The Blues will begin their 2025–26 Premier League campaign—Enzo Maresca's second year in charge—by hosting Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge.
Following a challenging mid-season period, Chelsea secured their place in the upcoming Champions League by claiming fourth position last term, while also crowning their season with Conference League glory.
Supporters are eager for continued improvement this campaign, with fresh additions Liam Delap, Andrey Santos and Estêvão expected to feature significantly for the West London club.
Following their opening match against Palace, Chelsea will wrap up August with additional London derbies versus West Ham United and Fulham, though attention will focus on their clashes with fellow top-four contenders, notably Arsenal and Manchester United.
The Blues are set to face the Gunners twice—in November and February—while United encounters are scheduled for September and April. North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur feature on the calendar in November and May, with the latter serving as the second-to-last fixture of the season.
Following a challenging final stretch that includes a journey to Anfield against Liverpool, Chelsea will conclude their campaign facing Sunderland.
