The pre-season tour is one week away and Chelsea TV will be the only place with full, exclusive coverage as the Blues travel across the US.

There will be four games throughout the tour and Chelsea TV will cover them all, while also airing exclusive behind-the-scenes footage and player interviews as the trip unfolds.

Jason Cundy will offer expert analysis for the first pre-season fixture against Seattle Sounders on Saturday 18 July, with all the team news and pre-match build-up beginning at 7pm.

Then, when the Blues travel to California for the World Football Challenge and a game against José Mourinho's Inter Milan on Tuesday 21 July, FA Cup winner Scott Minto will be in the studios for pre- and post-match analysis from 3.30am.

The next game in the three-match round-robin tournament sees the Blues line-up against Carlo Ancelotti's old team when Chelsea travel to Maryland to face AC Milan, coverage for that fixture begins at 3am and Cundy will be on-hand to give a player's insight.

Then the final game of the World Football Challenge is in Texas, where Mexico's Club America will await the Blues. Minto is once again the resident expert for that match from 11.30pm, while Clive Walker joins Gary Taphouse in the commentary box.

On top of the games, Chelsea TV will be the only place to hear exclusively from the players as they train and prepare for the 2009/10 campaign, and hear directly from our new manager before his first season inside the Barclays Premier League in the daily Blues News.

That's not all. Once the Blues have returned from the US, there's a friendly against Reading to look forward to on Saturday 1 August, and Chelsea TV will have full, live coverage as the match unfolds inside the Madejski Stadium.
