Chelsea FC Women today announces that from next season, the first team will play cup competition home matches at the Cherry Red Records Stadium, the home of AFC Wimbledon, in a new multi-year agreement.

The Blues will play all Women’s Super League home matches at Stamford Bridge from the start of the 2026/27 season and, to accommodate for complex fixture schedules and a regulatory requirement to have two compliant stadiums, home domestic cup and any home European league-phase cup matches the team qualifies for will be played at the Cherry Red Records Stadium.

Stamford Bridge will remain the home for UEFA Women's Champions League knockout stage games, should Chelsea progress that far.

CFCW has enjoyed a long-standing relationship with AFC Wimbledon, previously sharing our beloved Kingsmeadow. The Cherry Red Records Stadium is a new, purpose-built, highly accessible stadium which meets all competition requirements and has a capacity of 9,000 – enabling the club to build attendances for competition matches over time.

Nadia Shahrestani, business operations director at CFCW, said: ‘We are delighted that from next season we will be playing league phase cup fixtures at the fantastic Cherry Red Records Stadium. While Stamford Bridge is our home, we want to ensure that our alternative venue is inclusive, convenient, as well as being fully compliant with all competition regulations.

‘We look forward to creating some special memories at the ground with our incredible fans and would like to thank AFC Wimbledon for all their support.’
