Chelsea FC Women have confirmed that, starting from the 2026/27 season, their home matches in domestic cup competitions and any European league-phase cup fixtures will be played at the Cherry Red Records Stadium, home of AFC Wimbledon, under a new multi-year agreement.
While all Women’s Super League home games will take place at Stamford Bridge, the club requires a second venue that meets competition regulations and can accommodate a demanding fixture schedule. Should Chelsea reach the knockout stages of the UEFA Women’s Champions League, those matches will continue to be hosted at Stamford Bridge.
The move marks another chapter in Chelsea Women’s long-standing connection with AFC Wimbledon, following their previous stay at Kingsmeadow. The 9,000-capacity Cherry Red Records Stadium offers modern facilities, strong accessibility, and room for the club to grow attendances for cup fixtures over time.
Chelsea Women business operations director Nadia Shahrestani welcomed the arrangement, describing the stadium as an excellent venue that is inclusive, convenient, and fully compliant with competition requirements. She also thanked AFC Wimbledon for their support and expressed excitement about creating new memories with supporters at the ground.
With Chelsea’s venues for the 2026/27 campaign now confirmed, the club has also released full match-by-match ticket pricing information for the upcoming season.
