Chelsea are back in pre-season action this afternoon, facing AC Milan in a friendly in Indonesia. The Blues are looking to bounce back from defeats to Tottenham and Juventus.
Match Details and Where to Watch
The match is scheduled for a 1pm BST kick-off today, Saturday, August 8, 2026, at the Gelora Bung Karno (GBK) Stadium in Jakarta.
In the UK, the game will be televised live on CFC, Chelsea's in-house video streaming service. All pre-season fixtures are broadcast via CFC+, which requires a membership. An annual subscription costs £15, while pay-per-view passes are available for £9.99 per match. Standard Sport's live blog will also cover all the action on matchday.
Team News and Prediction
Mykhailo Mudryk made his first appearance since his doping ban was lifted, coming off the bench for eight minutes against Juventus, and will hope for more exposure in Jakarta. Summer signing Danny Welbeck started that game and should get another chance to impress. Cole Palmer and Levi Colwill are being assessed after missing the Juventus loss with minor knocks.
There hasn't been much for Chelsea fans to get excited about this summer, with two underwhelming defeats and one 10-goal thriller. AC Milan have drawn with Celtic and Inter Milan so far this summer, and another draw seems a fair prediction: Chelsea 1-1 AC Milan.
Head-to-Head and Odds
In previous meetings, Chelsea have won 8 times, AC Milan twice, with 1 draw. Betting odds are Chelsea to win at 21/20, AC Milan at 11/5, and a draw at 13/5, via UK betting sites (subject to change).
