The summer will be upon us before we know it, and focus will soon be switching to Chelsea Women's pre-season tour of Australia and New Zealand. Here we summarise the fixtures that have been confirmed so far...
Chelsea will play the club's first match in New Zealand when we face Auckland FC Women at Eden Park on Saturday 8 August, before heading to Australia, where we will play the A-League Women All-Stars team at the Allianz Stadium in Sydney on Wednesday 12 August.
Eden Park hosted nine matches during the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup, yet no domestic Women's Super League side has ever contested a match in New Zealand before.
Over in Australia, we will be part of the 2026 Sydney Super Cup alongside our men's team, and they will play Western Sydney Wanderers on 28 July and Tottenham Hotspur on 1 August.
Official Small Business Marketing Partner Constant Contact will be the presenting partner for CFCW’s entire 2026 pre-season tour as the players work towards a new WSL season with training and games overseas.
