ABOUT CHELSEA FOOTBALL CLUB

Founded in 1905, Chelsea Football Club is an English professional football club based in Fulham, West London with Stamford Bridge as the home of the club. Competing in the Premier League - the top division of English football, the club has had many successes, winning five Premier League titles. The club won their first major honour, the League championship in 1955, followed by the FA Cup in 1970, their first European honour, the Cup Winners' Cup in 1971, and became the third English club to win the Club World Cup in 2022.

As the Pride of London, Chelsea FC is one of the most successful clubs in terms of overall trophies won. They are the only club to have won all three major European competitions twice and, following their 2025 UEFA Europa Conference League triumph, they have now completed victories in all five major UEFA club tournaments. Domestically, they have claimed six league titles, eight FA Cups, five League Cups, and four FA Community Shields. Internationally, Chelsea have lifted the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League, UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup, UEFA Super Cup, FIFA Club World Cup, and now the UEFA Conference League, winning each of the first five twice since their inception.

The Chelsea YouTube channel provides access to all the build-up, training and behind-the-scenes moments and matchday action along with all the unseen edits and player focus from Reece James, Cole Palmer and Enzo Fernandez and many more. It’s the only channel where you’ll get an authentic look at this great club including memorable nights with world-class heroes such as Peter Osgood, Gianfranco Zola, Frank Lampard, John Terry, Didier Drogba & Eden Hazard.
