The 2015–16 season is Chelsea's 102nd competitive season, 26th consecutive season in the top flight of English football, 24th consecutive season in the Premier League, and 110th year in existence as a football club. They enter the 2015–16 Premier League as reigning champions after winning the league for a fifth time the previous season.

Month by month review

June

Left-winger Gaël Kakuta leaves the Blues to join La Liga side Sevilla, for a fee of £2.5million. Long serving goalkeeper Petr Čech leaves the club to join London rivals Arsenal on a three-year deal. The legendary Czech played 486 games for the Blues in all competitions winning four Premier League medals, four FA Cup medals, three League Cup medals and one UEFA Champions League medal. Petr Čech starred in the 2012 UEFA Champions League Final, saving an extra time penalty from Arjen Robben as well as two penalties in the penalty shoot out and was subsequently named Fans' Man of the Match. While at the Blues Čech holds a number of goalkeeping records, including the Premier League record for fewest appearances required to reach 100 clean sheets, having done so in 180 league appearances. During the 2004–05 season, Čech went 1,025 minutes without conceding a goal – a Premier League record, until it was surpassed by Edwin van der Sar of Manchester United. He won the Golden Glove three times; in the 2004–05, 2009–10 and 2013–14 as the Premier League goalkeeper with the most clean sheets. Čech kept a club record 220 clean sheets for Chelsea in all competitions.

July

On 3 July, the Blues announced the signing of Radamel Falcao on a season long loan deal.
