The Blues emerged from the 2022/23 season with a fourth consecutive Women’s Super League title and a third successive Women's FA Cup trophy in the cabinet, while reaching the League Cup final and the semi-finals of the UEFA Women’s Champions League along the way.

After a well-earned summer break, a select group of players were greeted back at Cobham on Monday, getting straight down to business before heading out onto the grass for their first pitch session on Tuesday morning.

Following the release of the Women’s Super League fixtures last month, we will begin the defence of our title against Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge on Sunday 1 October, with kick-off scheduled for 5.30pm (UK time).

As we near the conclusion of what has been a thrilling World Cup, and our Double-winning squad begins to reconvene, excitement for the return of the domestic season continues to grow. Click here to view our ticket bundles and find out how to secure your seats for 2023/24!
