Friday 24 April 2026 — Chelsea Women have confirmed their first team will play all Women’s Super League home fixtures at Stamford Bridge from the 2026/27 season. Head coach Sonia Bompastor praised the decision, saying it demonstrates the club’s long-term commitment to the women’s side and will give players and supporters a consistent, high-quality home environment.
Bompastor described Stamford Bridge as a fitting stage for the squad’s ambitions, adding that regular use of the club’s principal stadium should raise standards both on and off the pitch. She said the move will enhance the matchday experience for fans and serve as inspiration for younger players progressing through Chelsea’s academy.
The change forms part of Chelsea’s ongoing investment in their women’s programme and mirrors wider efforts across the WSL to boost attendances and visibility for the women’s game. The club issued an official statement confirming the arrangement, with the full transition set to begin at the start of the 2026/27 campaign.
