Chelsea and Juventus meet in a heavyweight pre-season friendly in Hong Kong on Wednesday, August 5, 2026, with kick-off at 12:30pm BST at the Kai Tak Sports Park.
The Blues spent a week in Sydney as part of their summer tour, beating Western Sydney Wanderers in a ten-goal thriller before losing to London rivals Tottenham. Xabi Alonso's side have now touched down in Asia for the second leg of their trip and will renew acquaintances with Juventus for the first time in nearly five years.
The Serie A giants have played three games in pre-season so far, and are yet to concede a goal after drawing with Basel before beating both Standard Liege and Nice.

Chelsea vs Juventus team news
Chelsea have been boosted by the arrivals of Mike Penders, Gabriel Slonina, Geovany Quenda and Pedro Neto in Hong Kong, though it remains to be seen if any will feature against Juve. The same applies to new signing Danny Welbeck and Mykhailo Mudryk - cleared for a return to football after his anti-doping proceedings were resolved last week - as they have started training with the group.
Valentin Barco and Jordan Henderson are still on holiday after reaching the final weekend at the World Cup. Robert Sanchez is a doubt because of a minor injury, meaning Teddy Sharman-Lowe could deputise in goal once again, unless Ted Curd gets the nod.
Juventus has included new signings Randal Kolo Muani - on loan at Tottenham last season - and Karim Alajbegovic - linked with a move to Chelsea this summer - in their travelling squad. Weston McKennie, Kenan Yildiz and ex-Aston Villa midfielder Douglas Luiz should all get some minutes against the Blues.
Chelsea vs Juventus prediction
Results in pre-season are always secondary as Xabi Alonso will be using this game to see how his team his shaping up ahead of the new Premier League campaign. Having conceded six goals in two games on tour, perhaps the Spaniard will be asking his players to tighten up defensively. In any case, we expect the Blues to come out on top in a tight encounter.
Chelsea to win, 2-1.
