Chelsea set to play 5 US matches this summer

All the specifics for this summer’s Chelsea US tour have been finalized. The Blues have announced their five matches to be played in the United States. Here’s everything you need to know to catch the Blues on this side of the Atlantic.

Five Chelsea matches on tap

Chelsea are one of the busiest clubs making their way Stateside this summer, with five games from July 19 through August 2. They’ve dubbed the excursion the “London Calling” tour, and it’s mostly an East Coast itinerary, with the final game heading to Chicago in August. Here’s the complete schedule (all kickoff times are listed in the Eastern timezone):

The latter four games are held in NFL venues, while the opener versus newly-promoted League Two side Wrexham is at the University of North Carolina’s football stadium. In addition to Wrexham, the slate of matches features three fellow Premier League sides and the Bundesliga’s Borussia Dortmund.

The Blues are no stranger to American shores, having visited many times in the past. Last summer, Chelsea took on Club América, Charlotte FC, and Arsenal in the US. Over the last decade plus, the club have been MLS All-Star game opponents, as well as World Football Challenge, International Champions Cup and Florida Cup participants. They’ve even taken home some silverware, winning the inaugural WFC in 2009. Chelsea finished runners-up in the 2013 ICC and 2022 Florida Cup.

Of course, Chelsea are a well-known club, but are especially notable to US fans due to USMNT star Christian Pulisic. While the future of the forward at the club may be a bit uncertain, he nonetheless features in the Blues’ marketing of the tour.

Tickets are currently on sale for all five games of the 2023 Chelsea US tour.
