UEFA have announced the order and dates for games in the groups, so we now know that we will begin our defence of the Champions League trophy at home, when we face Russian side Zenit St Petersburg in competitive action for the first-ever time. We then take on Juventus in our first away game two weeks later.
Due to the ongoing pandemic situation and travel restrictions between countries, UEFA will confirm details on venues for the games in the coming days.
Supporters are also reminded that UEFA are yet to confirm the availability of tickets for away fans at Champions League games this season. Therefore, supporters are strongly urged to refrain from making any travel arrangements for those games until further information has been set out.
Neutral venues, closed stadiums and the absence of away fans are all still possibilities, as has been the case during the qualifying stages of this season’s European competitions and will be again for matches during September’s international break. A decision regarding away club ticketing is currently under review and further information from UEFA is expected shortly.
All the relevant information regarding tickets and travel for our Champions League group games will be communicated to supporters on the official Chelsea website, The 5th Stand app and our social media channels as soon as it becomes available.
