The date of our first away game of the 2025/26 Premier League season – against West Ham United – has been changed, while our west London derby with Fulham at Stamford Bridge will now be a lunchtime kick-off.
Our first trip of the new season will see Enzo Maresca take his side across London to take on the Irons, who have former Blues head coach Graham Potter at the helm.
That game was originally scheduled on Saturday 23 August, but will now take place on Friday 22 August with an 8pm kick-off. It will be broadcast live by Sky Sports in the UK.
We then face Fulham the following weekend at the Bridge. That game remains on Saturday August 30, yet it will now get underway at 12.30pm instead of 3pm. This fixture will be live on TNT Sports in the UK.
Full ticket information will follow in due course.
