Chelsea host Crystal Palace opening weekend of the 2025-26 Premier League season, with the team’s full fixtures now confirmed.
Enzo Maresca’s Blues get their 2025-26 Premier League campaign underway at Stamford Bridge against London neighbours Crystal Palace on Sunday, 17 August.
The match is scheduled to kick off at 2:00pm, and will be shown live on Sky Sports.
Other big fixtures include Arsenal at home on Saturday, 29 November, and a late-season trip to Anfield to face Liverpool, whose fixture list sees them host Bournemouth on the opening day, on Saturday, 9 May.
The first West London derby against rivals Fulham takes place in week three of the season.
Chelsea at at home for that one on Saturday, 30 August, with the return fixture at Craven Cottage on Wednesday, 7 January.
That fixture may prove tough, coming just three days after a huge trip to the Etihad to face Manchester City away from home on Saturday, 3 January.

With Champions League football secured after a strong finish to last season, there is a quiet confidence around Chelsea at the moment.
The Blues are currently 20/1 to win the title, according to the best UK betting sites.
But that hasn’t stopped fans predicting them to challenge at the very top.
And with a number of key Premier League summer transfers already secured, there’s every possibility that the optimism around Stamford Bridge could prove justified.
