Chelsea to play cup fixtures at AFC Wimbledon's stadium next season
Summary

Chelsea FC announced they will host their 2026/2027 home domestic cup fixtures and UEFA Women’s Champions League matches at AFC Wimbledon’s Cherry Red Records Stadium. This decision comes as Chelsea navigates a complex fixture schedule involving their men's, women's, and academy teams, marking an end to their previous use of Kingsmeadow.
