Chelsea Football Club has been shortlisted in four categories at the Stadium Events & Hospitality Awards 2026, recognising achievement across our stadium events and hospitality sector.
The awards programme recognises innovation, service excellence and operational delivery across the sector, with shortlisted venues representing a cross-section of leading UK stadiums and event spaces.
The shortlist highlights performance across both premium and large-scale matchday operations, as well as retail catering provision. The venue has received nominations in these four categories:
* Best Retail Catering Award
* Visiting Football Directors Award
* Matchday Hospitality Award – Large Stadium
* Overall Matchday Hospitality Award
Entries are currently being assessed by an independent panel of industry experts, with winners due to be announced at a gala dinner on 2 July, to be held at Hill Dickinson Stadium, the new home of Everton’s men’s team. The event is expected to bring together more than 500 guests from across the stadium hospitality and live events industry.
