Chelsea will face Arsenal and Liverpool in their opening three Premier League games of the 2021/22 season, quickly followed by meetings with Tottenham and Manchester City.
Thomas Tuchel's first full season begins at home to Crystal Palace on the opening weekend, followed by two tough away trips to Arsenal and Liverpool. Aston Villa will then visit Stamford Bridge before Chelsea make the short trip to north London to face fierce rivals Tottenham at the start of September.
This is followed by a Champions League final re-match with Man City, as the reigning Premier League champions look to exact some revenge for the 1-0 defeat in May.
Chelsea will travel to Aston Villa on Boxing Day before a home game against Brighton on December 28. On New Year's Day they will host Liverpool and then face another double-header against Man City and Tottenham in successive league games.
There is a new west London derby for Chelsea too. They first face Brentford on October 16, away at the Brentford Community Stadium, before the return game at Stamford Bridge on April 2.
In May, Chelsea finish their season with the visit of Wolves before an away trip to Manchester United, with both sides hoping to still be competing at the top end of the table. Chelsea then host Watford on the final day of the Premier League season.
