Chelsea FC Women will play a showcase match at Eden Park in Auckland, New Zealand, on August 16, 2026, as confirmed by the club and New Zealand Football. The match is part of a series of international friendlies featuring top women's clubs.
Chelsea, who have won eight English Women's Super League titles and six FA Cups, will face an opponent yet to be announced. The match follows Tottenham Hotspur Women's appearance at the same venue earlier in August.
