Chelsea 2026‑27 pre‑season tour

Overview

Chelsea's 27‑player squad continued its 2026‑27 pre‑season tour in Australia, beating Western Sydney Wanderers 6‑4 with João Pedro’s nine‑minute hat‑trick. The marquee Sydney Super Cup match on 1 August 2026 at Accor Stadium saw Tottenham Hotspur, managed by Roberto De Zerbi, defeat Chelsea 2‑1. Sandro Tonali opened the scoring, Estevão equalised four minutes later, and after Kevin Danso’s early‑second‑half red card Richarlison tapped in the stoppage‑time winner. The sell‑out crowd of about 80,363 set a rivalry attendance record and marked the first London derby ever staged outside the United Kingdom. De Zerbi said Richarlison, Tottenham’s top scorer with 12 goals last season and linked with Juventus, is in the final year of his contract and sometimes wants to leave, underscoring the need for a replacement. The victory was hailed as a morale boost for Tottenham ahead of the Premier League season, while Chelsea, under new head coach Xabi Alonso, looked to refine their squad after a mixed pre‑season.
