Chelsea pre-season 2023: TV coverage, fixtures, dates and UK times
Check out how to watch Chelsea's pre-season fixtures, including TV details and more.
Change is in the air at Chelsea as the Blues bid to bounce back from their worst Premier League season in a generation.
Chaos reigned at Stamford Bridge in the 2022/23 campaign as hordes of new players arrived for massive fees and three different managers graced the dugout, so the fresh start offered by pre-season could be just the tonic.
Owner Todd Boehly has turned to former Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino to oversee the revival mission. Once again Chelsea have been busy in the transfer market, although there have been more outgoings than incomings. Kai Havertz, N'Golo Kante, Mateo Kovacic and Mason Mount have left for new pastures, while attacking reinforcements have arrived in the form of Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku.
After a couple of weeks hard graft on the training pitches at the club's Cobham HQ, Pochettino has taken his new team Stateside for a five-game pre-season jaunt that includes Summer Series friendlies against Premier League rivals Brighton, Newcastle and Fulham.

Chelsea's tour started with a fixture against League Two outfit Wrexham - backed by Hollywood duo Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney - and concludes with a glamour tie against German giants Borussia Dortmund, just a week before the real action gets underway.
It is, arguably, the most important pre-season in Chelsea's recent history and Pochettino will be eager to get his new players up to speed in time for their Premier League opener against Liverpool.
