Chelsea’s upcoming fixtures have undergone scheduling adjustments, with changes to both Premier League and FA Cup matches to accommodate broadcasting arrangements.

In the league, Chelsea’s home clash with Southampton has been rescheduled to Tuesday, February 25, with an 8 pm kick-off, moved forward by a day to align with TNT Sports’ live coverage of all midweek Premier League games during that period.

Meanwhile, Chelsea’s FA Cup fourth-round tie against Brighton & Hove Albion is set for Saturday, February 8, with another late 8 pm kick-off. The match will be broadcast on ITV1 and ITVX. The timing aims to ease travel concerns for Chelsea fans heading to Brighton’s AMEX Stadium, while also spreading TV coverage across various kick-off slots that day.

The FA Cup schedule on February 8 will feature ten games spread across different time slots—12:15 pm, 3 pm, 5:45 pm, and 8 pm—to maximize viewer engagement. Chelsea’s congested February calendar will also see them face Brighton twice within a week, first in the FA Cup on February 8 and then in the Premier League on Friday, February 14.

Following the Brighton fixtures, Enzo Maresca’s side will travel to Aston Villa on Saturday, February 22, before hosting Southampton three days later in what promises to be a packed schedule for the Blues.
