All Chelsea Women’s WSL matches will be played at Stamford Bridge starting from the 2026/27 season.

The decision to make the move from Kingsmeadow was made after consulting with the Chelsea Women players, partners, Fan Advisory Board, and other CFCW fan groups.

Aki Mandhar, CEO for Chelsea FC Women, told chelseafc.com: “Our commitment to play all Barclays Women’s Super League matches at Stamford Bridge from next season reaffirms our ambition and intent to make CFCW the leading women’s sports club in the world. Playing the team’s BWSL matches at such an iconic ground ensures our players and supporters have the arena they deserve as we look to propel the game into its next phase of growth.

“At CFCW we are never done growing and pushing progress to take the game and women’s sports to new heights. We are grateful to all our players and the Fan Advisory Board for their support on this historic move.”

Head coach Sonia Bompastor added: “We are privileged to be involved in women’s football, to see thousands of our incredible supporters following us and being a part of our lives. We will always feel a special connection to Kingsmeadow and everything our fans, staff and local community have helped create for us to stand here now, committing our future to Stamford Bridge. The squad, and every player to have pulled on a Chelsea shirt before them, has worked so hard for this as has every member of staff to stand on the sidelines.
