Chelsea Women v Roma Women preview: kick-off time, team news and form
Chelsea Women host Roma Women at The Cherry Red Records Stadium on Wednesday 28th October, with kick-off at 5.45pm UK time, in the 2026-27 UEFA Women's Champions League league phase.
There's plenty riding on it for both sides as they look to build their European campaigns. Chelsea currently sit top of the Women's Super League domestically, while in the Champions League they've made a solid if unspectacular start. Roma, by contrast, have had a tougher time of it in the group and will be looking to Wednesday night to kickstart their continental form.
In terms of recent European form, Chelsea's last two Women's Champions League outings have brought a win and a draw - a 1-0 home victory over Vienna followed by a goalless draw away at Lyonnes, giving them a last-two record of WD. Roma's European form reads DL, having drawn away at OH Leuven before suffering a heavy defeat at home to Barcelona.
Domestically Chelsea have been flying, and ChelseaFC.com previewed this very fixture with details on how to watch, kick-off time and live stream information (ChelseaFC.com). In all competitions Chelsea have put together a strong run of form, going WDWWW across their last five outings, including a 6-2 thrashing of Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge and a 3-1 win away at Crystal Palace. We Ain't Got No History noted that Chelsea "handily beaten Tottenham at Stamford Bridge last weekend" before making the trip to Sutton to face Crystal Palace (We Ain't Got No History), underlining just how good a spell the Blues are in right now.
League position tells its own story too - Chelsea are 1st in the Women's Super League, while in the Champions League standings Chelsea sit well clear of Roma, who find themselves down in 16th place in the group phase table having picked up just a single point from their two games so far.
On team news, nothing has been confirmed beyond the official build-up from Chelsea's own channels regarding how fans can watch the match (ChelseaFC.com). No injury or squad details have been provided ahead of kick-off, so supporters will have to wait for team news closer to the day.
With Chelsea in red-hot domestic form and looking to strengthen their European credentials, and Roma searching for a reaction after a difficult start to their continental campaign, this looks a good opportunity for the Blues to pick up another three points on home soil.
Kick-off is at 5.45pm UK time on Wednesday 28th October - tune in to follow all the action from The Cherry Red Records Stadium.
