Chelsea 2025–26 Premier League Fixtures: When Blues Play Arsenal, Man Utd, All Key Dates
Chelsea will kick off the 2025–26 Premier League season— the second of Enzo Maresca’s tenure—with a visit from Crystal Palace.
Despite a mid-season drop-off, Chelsea managed to book at spot in next season’s Champions League by finishing fourth last season, capping off the campaign by winning the Conference League as well.
Fans will hope for further progress this time around, with new faces Liam Delap, Andrey Santos and Estêvão all looking to play prominent roles for the Blues.
After the season-opener against Palace, Chelsea will finish off August with more London action against West Ham United and Fulham, but all eyes are on the scheduled meetings with their top-four rivals, including Arsenal and Manchester United.
Chelsea will take on the Gunners in both November and February, with United’s fixtures pencilled in for September and April. London rivals Tottenham Hotspur are on the agenda in both November and May—the penultimate game of the campaign.
After a tense run-in which also includes a trip to Anfield to face Liverpool, Chelsea will end the campaign up against Sunderland.
