Who is the Chelsea manager and who is in the squad?

Chelsea appointed Xabi Alonso as manager on 17 May 2026 on a four-year deal, as the club announced on its official site. Earlier in 2026 Liam Rosenior was appointed on 6 January and sacked on 22 April, and Calum McFarlane was interim head coach until the end of the season, according to Wikipedia, which does not itself describe Alonso’s appointment in its text. The club finished tenth in 2025–26.

The squad list below is grouped by position and shows each player’s age. It may lag behind transfers, loans and late registrations, so treat the club’s own announcements as the final word.

Where do Chelsea play?

Chelsea play at Stamford Bridge in Fulham, London. Wikipedia gives the capacity as 40,044, while API-Football lists 41,841, so treat any single figure as approximate.

Stamford Bridge opened on 28 April 1877, with an original capacity of about 100,000, and hosted FA Cup finals from 1920 to 1922. The freehold, pitch, turnstiles and naming rights are owned by Chelsea Pitch Owners, a non-profit fan-shareholder company, and the club must play first-team matches at Stamford Bridge to use the Chelsea FC name. The North Stand was renamed the Matthew Harding Stand in 1996.

The training ground is at Cobham, Surrey, in use since 2004. Tickets are sold through the club’s official site.

Chelsea history

The Rising Sun and the first title

Chelsea were founded on 10 March 1905 at The Rising Sun pub, now The Butcher’s Hook, opposite the ground’s main entrance on Fulham Road, and elected to the Football League soon after. The first league title came in 1955 under Ted Drake.

Cups and Europe

Chelsea won the FA Cup in 1970 and the Cup Winners’ Cup in 1971. Ken Bates bought the club for £1 in 1982, and Ruud Gullit won the FA Cup in 1997.

The Abramovich era

Roman Abramovich acquired the club in 2003, and Chelsea won the Champions League for the first time in 2012. His ownership ended in 2022 with the sale to the Boehly-led BlueCo group.

2025 and 2026

Under Enzo Maresca the club won the Conference League and the Club World Cup in 2025. In 2026 Liam Rosenior was appointed and left, and Xabi Alonso arrived in May.

How many titles have Chelsea won?

Chelsea have also won five League Cups, two Europa Leagues (2013 and 2019), two Cup Winners’ Cups (1971 and 1998), two UEFA Super Cups (1998 and 2021) and the Conference League in 2025. The Club World Cup wins came in 2021 and 2025.

Have Chelsea won the Champions League?

Yes. Chelsea have won the Champions League twice, in 2012 and 2021, and the club has won every current UEFA club competition.

The Europa League came in 2013 and 2019, the Cup Winners’ Cup in 1971 and 1998 and the Conference League in 2025.

Famous Chelsea players

Rivalries and supporters

The main rivalries are with Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur, and also with Leeds United and a growing one with Liverpool. West London rivals include Brentford, Fulham and Queens Park Rangers.

Betting on Chelsea

Chelsea have changed manager twice in 2026, so recent results are a weaker guide than usual. Say a bookmaker offers 1.90 on a Chelsea home win, 3.60 on the draw and 4.20 on the away win. Those prices imply chances of 52.6%, 27.8% and 23.8%, which total 104.2%, so the margin is 4.2%. A €10 bet on the draw at 3.60 returns €36.00, a €26.00 profit. The prices are illustrative, not a quote. Our guide to how betting odds work walks through the sums.

Before you bet on a Chelsea match, check for team news, because line-ups are announced about an hour before kick-off and prices often move. Our bet types guide explains markets such as draw no bet and both teams to score, and the free bets guide explains why offers rarely pay what the headline suggests.
