Update: Chelsea has unveiled their 25-26 pre-match jersey, which features a unique design with an elegant, all-over 'LONDON' typography pattern on a clean white base.
Chelsea 25-26 Pre-Match Shirt
This is the Chelsea 2025-2026 pre-match jersey, made by Nike.
The Nike Chelsea FC 2025-26 pre-match jersey showcases a sophisticated design centered around subtle gray typography featuring the word "LONDON" repeated throughout the fabric in various 3D-effect letterforms. This eye-catching pattern sits against a crisp white background, creating a premium aesthetic.
The navy Swoosh logo is on the left chest, while the right chest features a Lion crest instead of the regular Chelsea crest. This Lion crest is navy with a 3D effect with a red shadow.
Indeed, the lion crest was also speculated to be used for the Chelsea 2025-2026 home kit, but Nike apparently decided against using this special icon for the home shirt.
The back of the shirt continues the all-over "LONDON" pattern without any additional elements or personalization areas.
