Club Overview

Chelsea was founded in 1905 specifically to play at the newly built Stamford Bridge stadium.

Chelsea is a Premier League club based in London. Their home ground is Stamford Bridge, with a capacity of around 40,341.

Seating Guide

Stamford Bridge is made up of the Matthew Harding Stand (North), Shed End (South, away fans), East Stand (built 1905, the oldest), and West Stand (built 2001).

Tickets

The safest way to buy tickets is directly through the club’s official website. Popular matches are often prioritized for season-ticket holders before general sale, so check availability as soon as your travel dates are set.

Food Guide

Around the stadium you’ll find pubs and restaurants that are popular before and after matches. Check the button below for a real, location-based list.

Cheer Culture

‘Blue Is the Colour’ (1972), born in the Shed End at Stamford Bridge, remains Chelsea’s anthem to this day. Chelsea Pensioners — war veterans from the Royal Hospital Chelsea whose nickname gave the club its original moniker — still walk out with the players every Remembrance Day home game, a bond now over a century old.
