Chelsea's Conference League 2024/25 schedule confirmed

Chelsea's fixtures for the league phase of the 2024/25 UEFA Conference League have been confirmed.

The Blues have the opportunity to become the first club to win all of UEFA's club competitions past and present with victory in this year's Conference League, having already taken home the Champions League, Europa League, Super Cup and defunct Cup Winners' Cup.

Enzo Maresca's side are heavy favourites to lift the trophy. They discovered their six opponents in Friday's draw in Monaco, and their schedule has now been revealed by UEFA.

First up for Chelsea is a home tie with Belgian side Gent just before the October international break. Towards the end of the month, they travel to Greece to take on Panathinaikos.

One of the Blues' more intriguing encounters comes at home to Armenian outfit Noah, who were only founded in 2017 and are competing in the proper phase of European competition for the first time in their history.

Another European debutant awaits Chelsea afterwards, with a trip to Heidenheim of the Bundesliga set for the end of November.

Chelsea will play their last two league phase games in mid-December. Their first comes away to Kazakhstani side Astana and will kick off at 15:30 UK time.

To round off the first stage of the Conference League, Chelsea welcome Irish champions Shamrock Rovers to Stamford Bridge.

All 36 teams in the Conference League will compete in a singular league table and take on six opponents each. The top eight teams will head straight through to the knockout stages, while those who ranked ninth to 24th will move on to a play-off round.
