The new season is almost upon us, and here is what to look out for as we build up to the beginning of the 2025/26 campaign.
Monday
The week started with us looking back on the impressive 4-1 victory over AC Milan at Stamford Bridge in the VisitMalta Weekender.
Joao Pedro continued his rich vein of form in front of goal and he spoke afterward, as did Liam Delap. The striker netted a second-half brace and reflected on his busy start to life at Stamford Bridge since arriving from Ipswich.
We will also hear from Becky Spencer, who has been speaking to us about her decision to join Chelsea on a permanent basis this summer.
Tuesday
Sonia Bompastor and her squad fly to the Netherlands on Tuesday for a summer training camp. We will cover the journey and confirm who has travelled, as well as providing updates throughout the week on their progress.
We also begin our build-up to the 2025/26 campaign by publishing the first of our Pre-Season Briefings. There will also be words from Moises Caicedo as he prepares for his third season in blue.
Wednesday
Joao Pedro is the next player to preview the start of what promises to be another exciting year at Stamford Bridge in an exclusive interview.
We will have the second of our Pre-Season Briefings for you, containing everything you need to know before the big kick-off.
There will also be a celebration of Ramires’ finest hour in blue – you should know the one! – on the anniversary of the day he joined Chelsea.
Thursday
Crystal Palace are our visitors to the Bridge for matchday one, and all the key facts and stats will help you prepare for the game, along with how to follow it.
It was on 14 August 2023 that Caicedo signed for Chelsea and we will look back at the decision he made to choose us and why the club has always been close to his heart.
Friday
Enzo Maresca will conduct his first pre-match press conference of the new season at Cobham. You will be able to watch it live on the official Blues website and the Chelsea Official App.
We will carry the head coach’s words later in the day, and we will also hear from Reece James. The Blues skipper has underlined the ‘ambition’ among the Chelsea squad to win more silverware.
Saturday
The weekend begins with our big match preview of the Palace game alongside more words from Maresca.
We will also continue to bring you the latest from our Women's side trip to the Netherlands, as the Blues prepare for a friendly against Ajax.
Sunday
The Blues host Palace at 2pm and we will be providing minute-by-minute updates throughout the day in our Chelsea vs Crystal Palace match centre. Viewers in the UK can watch the game live on Sky Sports.
You can get all the reaction from Maresca and the players after the game, with highlights available from 6pm. If you missed it the first time around, you can also watch the whole 90 minutes in our full match replay from midnight.
Meanwhile, our Women's side play their first pre-season fixture of the summer, as they face Ajax at the Sportcomplex de Toekomst. Kick-off is scheduled 1pm GMT on Sunday 17 August 2025. Tickets for that match are available to buy here.
We will bring you coverage of that game and the post-match reflections of Bompastor.
