Ipswich Town vs Chelsea Billets

When and where Ipswich Town face Chelsea

Ipswich Town host Chelsea in the Premier League at Portman Road on Wednesday 30 December 2026, with kick-off at 20:15.

For Ipswich Town, home fixtures against one of the division's bigger names are always significant occasions, and Portman Road's compact size can make for an especially close atmosphere on the night.

Portman Road on the night

Portman Road in Ipswich is a compact, traditional ground with stands close to the pitch, giving Ipswich Town vs Chelsea an intimate atmosphere compared with some of the larger Premier League venues. Its smaller footprint means most seats offer a closer view of the action than at many top-flight grounds.

A 20:15 kick-off on a Wednesday in late December means visiting fans should plan for evening travel out of Suffolk, particularly given reduced holiday-period rail services.
