Chelsea have been drawn in Group D of the Under-18 Premier League Cup, alongside Crystal Palace, Manchester City and Sheffield United.
Our 2025/26 Premier League Cup campaign will begin with group games against Crystal Palace, Manchester City and Sheffield United.
Last season we enjoyed a dominant group-stage run, topping our group with a perfect three wins out of three games, securing victories over Stoke City, Newcastle United and Millwall. Unfortunately, our progress was halted in the quarter-finals by Liverpool, who scored a late stoppage-time winner to deny us passage to the semi-finals.
As the new campaign approaches, it has been revealed that we will play our first group-stage game against Sheffield United on Tuesday 26 August at Cobham. Our next fixture comes on Saturday 4 October, against Manchester City, followed by a clash with London rivals Crystal Palace on Saturday 22 November, both away from home. All three games will kick off at 11am.
Teams must finish top of their group or be the best second-placed team in the competition to qualify for the quarter-finals.
