Chelsea vs Crawley Live Streaming, TV Channel Info and Kick-Off Time - Club Friendly

Chelsea kick off their preparations for the 2026/27 campaign with a behind-closed-doors friendly against League Two side Crawley Town and Bromley. The fixture will mark the beginning of a new era under Xabi Alonso, who takes charge of the Blues for his first pre-season after being appointed as the head coach earlier this summer.

Chelsea head into the new season looking to build momentum for the upcoming season. Several first-team players have only recently returned to training following the FIFA World Cup, while others are expected to rejoin the squad after receiving extended breaks due to their international commitments. As a result, the Blues are likely to field a blend of senior players, youngsters and academy prospects.

The Crawley clash is the first of two private friendlies before one of the best football clubs in London, Chelsea, begins their pre-season tour of Australia and Asia. The Blues will face Western Sydney Wanderers and Tottenham Hotspur in Sydney before travelling to Hong Kong, Indonesia and Malaysia to take on Juventus, AC Milan and Johor as they gear up for the new Premier League season.

Crawley Town, meanwhile, will use the encounter as a valuable test against Premier League opposition ahead of their own 2026/27 campaign. Facing a side of Chelsea's quality offers an ideal opportunity for the team to assess their preparations and gain competitive minutes before the start of the new season.
