2025–26 Champions League Draw: Chelsea’s Potential League Phase Opponents
After a brief absence, Chelsea are back in the big time. Champions League football returns to Stamford Bridge in 2025–26.
Once boasting little to no European pedigree, the Blues have emerged as England’s most successful team on the continent in the 21st century. They’ve claimed two Champions League crowns, a pair of Europa Leagues and completed the set by winning the Conference League earlier this year.
They have heritage in abundance, and Enzo Maresca’s side will be aiming to leave a mark in this season’s competition, having downed the European champions in the Club World Cup final last month.
Here’s who Chelsea could face in the Champions League league phase, with the draw taking place on Thursday.
What 2025–26 Champions League Pot Are Chelsea In?
Chelsea’s success in Europe means they boast a coefficient worthy of a Pot 1 placement. The Blues have pipped the likes of Arsenal and Atlético Madrid to the premier pot, although the league phase model means pots now boast little consequence.
Maresca’s side will be drawn against two teams from all four pots to make up their eight league phase opponents, but cannot face sides from the same member association.
