This page contains everything you need to know about Chelsea's 2026-27 UEFA Women's Champions League campaign. It will be updated after each matchweek, with the latest news and highlights. You can watch every Chelsea UWCL match on Disney+.
While Chelsea are the most successful side in WSL history, they are yet to taste European glory.
Winning the trophy has become something of an obsession for Chelsea and yet, the harder they push, the more elusive it gets. Their sole appearance in a final came in 2021, where they were thrashed by Barcelona.
The Catalan side knocked them out in the semifinals in three successive years between 2022 and 2025 before the Gunners eliminated them in the all-English quarterfinal last year.
The defeat to Arsenal capped off a disappointing season that saw them finish third in the WSL. The squad was refreshed over the summer, with long-serving players like Millie Bright, Sam Kerr and Niamh Charles moving on.
Reclaiming the WSL will be high on the priority list. But as always, European success remains the primary goal for Chelsea.

Player to keep an eye out for: Katie McCabe
Katie McCabe's decision to swap Arsenal for arch-rivals Chelsea in the summer sent shockwaves through the sport. Beyond the fact that the defender is a bona fide Gunners legend who had been at the club for over a decade, she had been involved in numerous clashes with Chelsea.
She was sent off at Stamford Bridge during a WSL meeting in January and her hair-pull on Alyssa Thompson in last season's UWCL quarterfinal was one of the competitions' biggest moments.
The 30-year-old knows what it takes to win in Europe and her experience will help fill some of the leadership void in the squad caused by the summer departures of Bright and Kerr.
Be it north or west London, McCabe is always blockbuster.
