Chelsea fans have become extremely familiar with Wembley, in recent history, and the Blues are set for another date at the home of English football when they take on Southampton in the 2025/26 FA Cup semi-final on Sunday.
Chelsea will head into the match under the management of Calum McFarlane, following the dismissal of Liam Rosenior earlier this week after a string of unacceptable results, and the Blues will be hoping to book their spot in the final under the interim boss.
If you are one of the Chelsea fans fortunate enough to be heading to the match on Sunday, then here is everything you need to know about the Wembley pubs that have been allocated to you.
Chelsea Wembley pubs: Where can Chelsea fans drink pre-match?
Unlike their recent visits to Wembley Stadium, Chelsea have been allocated the east side of the stadium for pubs.
The east side is full of great pubs, with arguably the best of the lot being the Blue Check, which is around an 11-minute walk away from the stadium. That isn't the only option on that side of the stadium, though, with plenty of other places being perfectly good options if the Blue Check reaches capacity.
The full list of pubs available on the east side of Wembley is as follows:
- The Blue Check, 12-13 Empire Way, HA9 ORQ
- Wembley Tavern, 121 Wembley Park Dr, HA9 8HG
- Stadium Sports Bar, 125 Wembley Park Dr, HA9 8HG
- The Torch, 1-5 Bridge Road, HA9 9AB
- Crock of Gold, 23 Bridge Road, HA9 9AB
- Black Sheep, 2 Olympic Way, HA9 0GU
- Feed the Yak, 51 Olympic Way, HA9 0EG
Brent Council are enforcing a No Street Drinking Zone on Olympic Way and the surrounding areas, so the pubs and official fan zones are the only place to enjoy and alcoholic drink.
Other pubs around Wembley for Chelsea fans
As a London club, Chelsea fans may already have a dedicated pre-match pub that they'll go to before making their way across to the capital to Wembley. For those who want to ensure they are nearby the stadium, Kilburn High Road is often popular with fans as are the pubs around Baker Street.
Kilburn Park is just six stops down the Bakerloo line from Wembley while Baker Street is just two stops away on the Metropolitan line.
There are also a number of places to eat and drink at the London Designer outlet that are available to fans of either side that include chain bars and restaurants such as Nando's, TGI Fridays, Pizza Express and Wagamama.
Inside the stadium
Wembley stadium is now completely cashless, meaning fans will need to make sure they have a card or contactless method of payment with them if they want to buy anything whilst inside.
Supporters will be able to take advantage of a new frictionless Tap Bar on level one at Wembley, allowing access to refreshments quicker and more conveniently. Fans will simply tap their card on entry, pick up what they have ordered and then walk away without the need to queue.
