Chelsea begin their 2022/23 Premier League campaign on the road as Thomas Tuchel takes his side to Goodison Park to face Everton on August 6 in the day's late kick-off.
There is another reunion the following weekend as Antonio Conte brings his Tottenham side across London to Stamford Bridge on August 13. That match will be the first official home game of the Todd Boehly era; the consortium led by the U.S. billionaire completed its takeover at the end of May.
The Blues then do not face any of last season's top six until September 17 when Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool side travel down to London. It may enable Tuchel's side to build momentum as they attempt to close the gap to the Reds and Man City atop the Premier League.
