Chelsea’s 2022/23 Premier League Fixtures Announced

It is an unusual season this time, with the World Cup breaking it up midway through, and that means an early start…

Who do Chelsea play in the opening weeks of the season?

The new season kicks off with a trip to Merseyside and a reunion with Frank Lampard, as we take on Everton at Goodison Park. Then there is a home London derby against Tottenham, before we travel to Elland Road to face Leeds United.

We end August with a home date against Leicester before facing Southampton at St Mary’s, in what is scheduled to be our first midweek clash of the new campaign.

You mentioned Tottenham but when are Chelsea’s London derbies against Arsenal and West Ham?

West Ham at Stamford Bridge follows quickly after that trip to Southampton, currently three days later in fact. We host Arsenal on Bonfire Night, 5 November, with the return at the Emirates in April.

Our away trips to West Ham and Tottenham are both to be played in February.

When do Chelsea meet Manchester City and Manchester United?

United are scheduled to be at Stamford Bridge on 22 October, with the return fixture at Old Trafford pencilled in for 22 April. Defending champions Manchester City will be our first opponents in 2023, as Pep Guardiola’s side visit London in early January. We head to the Etihad on 20 May in what will be our final away fixture of the season.

And what about Chelsea’s home Premier League game against Liverpool?

We welcome Jurgen Klopp’s side to Stamford Bridge on Saturday 17 September. That fixture will be our final game before the first international break of the new season.

When do we take on Nottingham Forest?

Steve Cooper’s Reds are back in the Premier League after a 23-year hiatus, and we will head to the City Ground on New Year’s Eve. Forest will visit Stamford Bridge in May.

Is there a break for the World Cup?

Yes, this will take place in November and December between our games against Newcastle away and Bournemouth at home on Boxing Day.
