Chelsea will wear their new Nike home kit for the first time when they face Western Sydney Wanderers in the Sydney Super Cup on Tuesday. The pre-season fixture kicks off at 10.45am UK time and marks the first match under manager Xabi Alonso.
Alonso addressed the media ahead of the game, stating he wants to “build a competitive team” and have a “good season”, adding that “hard work” would be the foundation of any success.
The new 2026/27 strip features a refreshed club crest interwoven in “Bright Blue” on the front of the shirt. The jersey includes a collar, a button-down neck, and “Midwest Gold” accents on the rampant lion badge and Nike swoosh, which appear on both the shirt and shorts.
