Public transport

Getting to the ground

Public transport is usually the simplest option. Check live travel information and the fixture-specific club guide before setting out.

about 20 minutes on foot

West Brompton

District line and London Overground

A useful alternative when Fulham Broadway is especially busy.

By car

The ground sits in a busy residential area with very limited parking. Matchday road closures and local parking controls apply; use the club's current travel advice rather than relying on ordinary driving times.

Match tickets

Use official sales channels

For men's home matches, supporters other than season-ticket holders generally need a current Chelsea membership to apply for general-admission tickets. Eligible members use match-specific application windows, and some high-demand fixtures also use loyalty-point thresholds. Availability is never guaranteed.

Home tickets are delivered digitally through the Chelsea Official App. Match rules can differ for Chelsea Women, cup ties, friendlies, hospitality and visiting supporters, so read the sales notice for the exact fixture before buying.

Do not rely on unauthorised resale sites. Chelsea states that its official ticketing portal is the legitimate route for general admission and Club Chelsea hospitality; limited overseas hospitality packages may also be offered by travel partners named by the club.

Ticket products, prices, eligibility and on-sale dates change. This archive deliberately sends readers to the live club pages instead of reproducing a price list that may become stale.

Matchday planning

Before you travel

Confirm the fixture

Kick-off dates and times can move for television or competition scheduling. Check the club's fixture and ticket notice close to matchday.

Arrive with the right ticket

Open the digital ticket in the Chelsea Official App before reaching the turnstile and follow any identity-verification instructions sent with the booking.

Keep bags small

The current maximum is A4 size: 30 × 20 × 10 cm. Bags are searched, larger bags are refused and the stadium does not operate its own bag-storage facility. Medical and accessibility-equipment exemptions are available.

Know your entrance

Use the stand, gate and turnstile printed in the official ticket or pre-match message. The ground has separate Stamford Gate and Britannia Gate approaches.

Read the current official bag policy

Non-matchday visits

Stadium tours and museum

The standard guided tour normally includes the dressing rooms, press room, players' tunnel, pitchside areas and museum admission. Chelsea also advertises classic, private, legends and selected matchday or relaxed-tour formats. Routes and availability can change because Stamford Bridge is a working stadium, so booking ahead is sensible.
