Chelsea have announced their pre-season games as they start preparations for the 2024-25 season
The Blues will once again travel to the United States of America to play five exciting fixtures at five different venues. Football fans can gather all the information about all Premier League preseason fixtures.
They will begin their campaign by taking on Wrexham at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara on Wednesday, July 24.
Their next friendly is scheduled against Scottish giants Celtic on July 27 at Notre Dame Stadium before their meeting with Club America at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium on July 31.
Ohio Stadium in Columbus will be the venue for Chelsea’s blockbuster clash with Manchester City early in August.
Their final pre-season fixture will see them face Real Madrid on Tuesday, August 6 at Bank of America Stadium in North Carolina.
The West London giants mutually parted company with Mauricio Pochettino in May after a largely underwhelming 2023-24 campaign saw them finishing sixth in the Premier League.
Enzo Maresca, who led Leicester City to the Championship title, is now at the helm at Stamford Bridge.
The Italian boss is relatively inexperienced but his attractive style of football is said to have appealed to the Blues.
Maresca now faces the challenging task of getting his side into Europe’s elite club competition.
