Chelsea's festive fixture schedule revealed as Aston Villa & Man City times confirmed | OneFootball

Enzo Maresca and Chelsea have discovered their festive schedule after the Premier League confirmed the kick-off dates and times.

Chelsea have eight games to play in December to conclude 2025, with a busy January to kick start 2026 also on the horizon as a burst of London derbies await.

Maresca's Blues will be hoping to enter December with momentum, a period of the season which could play a vital role in how their season concludes.

Spurs, Qarabag, Wolves, Burnley, Barcelona and Arsenal await this month and should Chelsea get through those six fixtures unscathed, they will be in buoyant mood.

Now the Premier League has confirmed the remainder of Chelsea's schedule for December, which also sees the World Champions feature in the Champions League and Carabao Cup.

Their home clashes against Aston Villa and AFC Bournemouth have both been moved for TV broadcast on Sky Sports. They will play Aston Villa on December 27 at 5.30pm, before welcoming Bournemouth three days later for a 7.30pm kick-off on December 30.

An usual time of 5.30pm on Sunday 4th January awaits Chelsea to open 2026 as they travel north to face Manchester City.

The final confirmed game is a London derby against Fulham at Craven Cottage on Wednesday 7th January at 7.30pm, also live on Sky Sports.
