The order, dates and venues for all three of our FIFA Club World Cup group-stage fixtures in the USA have now been revealed.
The draw for the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup took place on Thursday evening, when the Blues learned we would be competing in Group D, alongside Flamengo, Club Leon and Esperance Sportive de Tunis.
The details of those three fixtures have also now been confirmed by FIFA, with Chelsea's games being split between two host cities in that stage of the competition.
We will open our campaign against Mexican side Leon, the reigning CONCACAF continental champions, on Monday 16 June, with kick-off at 3pm local time (8pm UK time). The venue will be a familiar one for the Blues, having played in Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium several times during pre-season trips to the USA, most recently this summer for a 3-0 win over Club America, also of Mexico.
Chelsea will then move on to Philadelphia and Lincoln Financial Field for our other two group games, beginning against Brazilians Flamengo. That game will be played at 2pm (7pm UK time) on Friday 20 June.
Our group-stage campaign then comes to a close with a second match in Philadelphia, when we face Tunisia's Esperance on Tuesday 24 June, kicking off at 9pm (2am, Wednesday 25 June for the UK).
