Chelsea's appeal against a transfer ban by FIFA for breaking rules to sign youth players from abroad will be heard on November 20 at the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
CAS announced the hearing date on Monday, with a verdict due before the January transfer window.
Chelsea already served half of its one-year ban on registering new players during the offseason trading period.
The club did not seek to freeze the FIFA sanction while preparing the appeal to CAS.
FIFA's disciplinary and appeal committees have said Chelsea violated 150 rules protecting minors from trafficking, in cases involving about 70 players.
Chelsea were also judged to have broken rules prohibiting third-party influence on players. FIFA imposed a fine of £470,000.
The club has denied wrongdoing.
