Chelsea will wear their 2026/27 Nike away kit for the second time this season when they face Sunderland at the Stadium of Light, the club has confirmed. The shirt was first worn in the September trip to Brentford.

The match is Chelsea's last before the November international break. The Blues arrive after a 2-0 win over Manchester United and a victory at Everton. Another win would put them in the top four going into the break, where they currently sit fourth with 16 points from nine games.

Sunderland, who are 20th with five points, are looking for their second league win of the season to move off the foot of the Premier League table.

The away strip uses a black base and mirrors many features of the home shirt. It includes the same Midwest Gold trim and laurel wreath motif around the neck and cuffs, along with golden socks.
