Blues supporters in Denmark and Sweden are set to benefit from a brand-new partnership between Chelsea Football Club and Disney+ which as soon as this week’s game against Copenhagen, provides groundbreaking coverage featuring two famous Chelsea names.
Disney+ is adding to the excitement ahead of the first leg of our UEFA Conference League tie in Denmark on Thursday and thanks to this new partnership announced today, our supporters in Denmark, and Sweden as well, can sign up for live match coverage with three distinctive streams available. Former Chelsea wingers Jesper Grønkjær and Bjarne Goldbæk are bringing their expertise.
To celebrate the launch, fans in those countries can sign up for Disney+ via chelseafc.com or the Official Chelsea App. Disney+ is available with three monthly or annual subscription plans - with 12 months for the price of 10 with an annual subscription to the Standard or Premium Plan.
Join up in time for this week’s big Round of 16 clash and for the first time ever for a single game, you will be able to choose from three separate streams, including one dedicated to Chelsea fans.
Bringing his blue-tinted view as one of the match commentators, alongside Chelsea superfan Morten Bruun Jørgensen, will be former Denmark international Bjarne Goldbæk, scorer of one of the finest Chelsea goals ever seen against Tottenham.
There is also a stream dedicated to Copenhagen fans and for those seeking a more impartial view, the third stream features Disney+ football expert commentators Zak Egholm and Christian Poulsen.
In addition, for this special occasion, Danish football icon Jesper Grønkjær joins the coverage. One of the fastest players ever to play for Chelsea, few will ever forget his final-day assist and goal against Liverpool in 2003. Having played for both the Blues and Copenhagen, on Thursday he will share his unique insights.
Welcoming the new partnership, Casper Stylsvig, chief revenue officer for Chelsea Football Club, said: ‘Disney+ is known and loved around the world, for bringing sport and entertainment into the homes of millions of people. We are delighted to partner with them and offer our fans in Denmark the opportunity to follow our journey in Europe this season, with a well-timed fixture against Copenhagen. We are looking forward to working together and finding new ways to offer value and increased connection for our supporters.’
As a warm-up to the match coverage, Zak Egholm has been in London to capture the emotions of Chelsea fans at Stamford Bridge ahead of the match. This exclusive will be available on Disney+ from Wednesday.
With Disney+, football fans in Denmark and Sweden are able to stream all matches from the UEFA Conference League and UEFA Europa League, in addition to having access to an extensive library of award-winning films and TV shows.
