Chelsea have confirmed the squad numbers for the 2026/27 season, with a few surprise changes.

Most players who were in the Chelsea squad last season have kept their shirt numbers for the new season.

Joao Pedro, Liam Delap, Wesley Fofana, Dario Essugo, and Tosin Adarabioyo are among the few exceptions.

The Brazil international has switched from number 20 to the number 9 shirt, which was previously worn by Liam Delap, who has been assigned the number 12 this time.

Fofana, on the other hand, has taken over the number three shirt, which was vacant after Marc Cucurella’s transfer to Real Madrid. This leaves the number 29 open for summer signing Pep Chavarria.

Adarabioyo, on the other hand, has been handed the number 38 shirt, while the number four he previously wore now belongs to summer signing Valentin Barco.

Two other summer signings, Marco Palestra and Maxence Lacroix, also get to wear single-digit numbers, two and five, respectively. Benoit Badiashile previously wore Lacroix’s number five shirt.

Badiashile, Axel Disasi, and Marc Guiu, who were left out of the pre-season, have not been assigned squad numbers this season.

Dario Essugo switched from number 14 to 16. New arrival Jordan Henderson will wear number 14 instead.

Club-record signing Morgan Rogers will wear the number 17 previously worn by Andrey Santos, who joined Manchester United.

A few academy stars, Reggie Watson, Mahdi Nicoll-Jazuli and Tayo Subuloye, have also been given squad numbers: 31, 32, and 37, respectively.

It remains unclear whether the three have been officially promoted to the first team. However, given their strong performance during the pre-season tour in Australia and Asia, it would not be surprising if they get more first-team chances under Xabi Alonso this season.
