Chelsea Football Club today announces that Chelsea FC and Chelsea FC Women will be playing in the 2026 Sydney Super Cup next summer.
As part of our pre-season tours, both teams will be flying out to Sydney to take part in what is set to be an unmissable competition held over two weeks in the iconic Australian city, across July and August next year.
This tournament will mark a series of firsts for the club. Our men’s team will be taking on London rivals Tottenham Hotspur for the first time ever outside of the UK in this historic rivalry.
For our women’s team, this will be the first time playing in Australia where we will go up against the A-League Women All-Stars. The encounter will feature Sam Kerr and Ellie Carpenter facing their Matildas teammates.
The men’s team will also play Western Sydney Wanderers as the squad prepares for the start of 2026/27 season.
These three matches will form only part of the pre-season tour for our men’s and women’s sides. Details of additional matches and locations will be announced in the coming months.
