🚨 Chelsea Women confirm the team will move all their WSL fixtures to Stamford Bridge for the 2026/27 season.

It follows consultation with the Chelsea Women players, the Chelsea Fan Advisory Board (FAB) and other #CFCW fan groups.

The stadium move is announced alongside the launch of the club’s new brand identity: 'Never Done' – a movement that reflects CFCW's ambition on and off the field.

Different games could have different capacities but the hope is to sell as many tickets as possible and not cap capacity. Ticket pricing will be released in the coming weeks.

Understand double-header game days with the men's team are also entirely not ruled out.

Chelsea Women will continue to own Kingsmeadow, and it will be used for Academy games.

Expectation is #UWCL games, should Chelsea qualify, will be staged at Stamford Bridge. Plans for domestic cup fixtures are still to be determined.

🗣️ Aki Mandhar, CEO for Chelsea Women:

"Our commitment to play all Barclays Women’s Super League matches at Stamford Bridge from next season reaffirms our ambition and intent to make CFCW the leading women’s sports club in the world. Playing the team’s BWSL matches at such an iconic ground ensures our players and supporters have the arena they deserve as we look to propel the game into its next phase of growth." 

🗣️ Sonia Bompastor:

"The squad, and every player to have pulled on a Chelsea shirt before them, has worked so hard for this as has every member of staff to stand on the sidelines. We can’t wait to welcome you in September, and to provide a stadium that helps us as we write the next chapter for this amazing club."

Looking ahead to an FA Cup semi-final. 🏆

Ruthless from this Chelsea fan 🤣🤣

@Manchester_City are considering Chelsea’s Enzo Fernandez as a midfield option this summer.

It’s understood City’s interest in the Argentina international is at an early stage and there are other midfield targets they are looking at, including Nottingham Forest’s Elliot Anderson.

@Real_Madrid are also among Fernandez’s admirers, but at this stage it is unclear whether they would make a move for him.

Fernandez’s comments about Madrid during March’s international break resulted in him being dropped for two games by Liam Rosenior.

🗣️ Calum McFarlane ahead of Leeds United in the Emirates FA Cup semi-final:

🏥 𝐎𝐧 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐧𝐞𝐰𝐬:

“Estevao unfortunately won’t play for us this season. He will be out for a little bit of time.

“We’re not sure how long he will be out for but he certainly won’t play for us again this season, unfortunately.

“That’s really unfortunate for him, especially for someone so young and talented as he is but we are here to support him and be around him.

“With Joao [Pedro] and Cole [Palmer], they both trained today and are in a good place. We don’t know yet [whether they can feature on Sunday], but we have another day tomorrow to have a look at them and then make a call on them.

“But we hope so [they can be involved], but it’s important we give them time. We are going to train tomorrow, they will both be involved and we will make a call on them after that session.”

🧠 𝐎𝐧 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐚 𝐦𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐝𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐬:

“We haven’t had a clear-the-air meeting. We are getting the group focused for Sunday, spoken about the game plan and how we’re going to approach the game both in and out of possession.

“It’s really important that we have a real focus for the game on Sunday. You can’t be thinking about anything else. What’s gone on in the past doesn’t need to be spoken about. It’s just everything geared towards Sunday.

“We need to make sure we’re right in every area for the game. We’re playing a really good side and we need to do our best to be there.”

🤔 𝐎𝐧 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐌𝐜𝐅𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐭 𝐖𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐲:

“I haven’t coached at Wembley. I’ve been to Wembley. I was at Southampton when we got to the play-off final. That was probably the most recent time I was there.

“Everyone’s excited. The whole group, the whole club. It’s a massive game, a great opportunity to get to an FA Cup final. It’s why you do the job you do. We’re all really excited and looking forward to the game.

“Leeds vs Chelsea is always a big game. There’s a rivalry there for various reasons.”
