Chelsea 2026–27 Premier League Fixtures: Arsenal, Liverpool Dates, Full Schedule
The Xabi Alonso era at Chelsea begins with a short trip to west London rivals Fulham on the opening day of the 2026–27 Premier League season.
Things need to change for the Blues this season, with an increasingly unsettled fanbase demanding domestic success without the distraction of European action.
A trip to reigning champions Arsenal comes as early as gameweek three and Chelsea won’t even leave London until the middle of October, when they travel up to Merseyside to face Everton. Home games against Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United come immediately after in a busy October schedule.
Alonso’s first meeting with former employers Liverpool comes at Stamford Bridge in early December, followed straight by a trip to face Manchester City, expected to be led by former Blues boss Enzo Maresca. Those fixtures are reversed across the final week of April and first week of May.
Chelsea travel to Old Trafford to face Man Utd in February and host Arsenal in mid-March, while May brings a trip to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Rounding out the season, Chelsea face Everton and Bournemouth before a final day meeting with Brentford at home.
*Live TV broadcasts will be chosen for select Premier League games throughout the season, dates and/or kick-off times remain subject to change. All kick-off times stated are Eastern Time (ET) and British Summer Time (BST) or Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), depending on the time of year.
