Chelsea’s 2026-27 Premier League season is scheduled to begin with a west London derby at Fulham. Multiple outlets report the match is set for Monday, 24 August, with the game played at Craven Cottage. The fixtures also show Chelsea’s first home league match of the campaign is against Brighton. That match is scheduled for Saturday, 29 August, at Stamford Bridge. Beyond these opening fixtures, at least one source states it is providing a full season list of Chelsea’s Premier League games, including dates and home or away venues for each match. The schedule reflects a start that is away from home before returning to Stamford Bridge for the first home game. No sources provided additional fixture dates in the excerpts shown. Chelsea’s full 2026-27 Premier League fixture list, including matchdays and locations, is therefore presented as beginning with Fulham (away) and Brighton (home) on the reported dates.
