How Chelsea will be like in 2026 💙

 


In the next two years, Chelsea FC could go through some big changes and improvements, depending on how things go with their players, manager, and transfers. Here’s what Chelsea might look like by 2026:

1. A More Settled Young Team

Chelsea currently has one of the youngest squads in Europe. If the club keeps faith in these players (like Enzo Fernández, Cole Palmer, Moisés Caicedo, Levi Colwill, and others), they could become more mature and consistent by 2026.

2. Stronger League Position

If they fix their defensive issues and become more consistent, Chelsea could be pushing for a top 4 finish again, returning to the UEFA Champions League.

3. A New or Improved Manager

If Mauricio Pochettino stays and succeeds, he could build something strong. But if he fails, Chelsea might change managers again. The right coach could take them back to the top.

4. More Smart Signings

Expect Chelsea to continue signing young talents, but they may also go for a few experienced players to bring balance. A top striker might be a big focus if goals remain a problem.

5. A New Identity

With time, the team could develop a clear playing style—fast, energetic, and technical football, especially with players like Palmer and Mudryk improving.

6. European Football

Even if not Champions League, Chelsea might be regulars in Europa League or Conference League, using it to grow their squad’s experience.
