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 this season as reigning champions after winning the league for a fifth time the previous season, and will participate in the FA Cup, League Cup, Community Shield and the UEFA Champions League. The season covers the period from 1 July 2015 to 30 June 2016.

Month by month review

June

Left-winger Gaël Kakuta leaves the Blues to join La Liga side Sevilla, for a fee of £2.5million. 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 from Monaco.

Young central midfielders Josh McEachran and Marco van Ginkel leave the Blues, on a permanent basis and on loan respectively. McEachran joins Championship club Brentford on a four-year deal, for a reported £750,000. While van Ginkel joins Stoke City on a year long loan deal. Along with Marco van Ginkel moving on a season long loan, U21 player Andreas Christensen joins Borussia Mönchengladbach, while Nathan and Isaiah Brown join Eredivisie club Vitesse.

On 13 July, the Blues completed the signing of Bosnian goalkeeper, Asmir Begović from Stoke City on a four-year deal for a reported £8 million. Patrick Bamford extends his contract for another three years and is loaned to Premier League outfit Crystal Palace.

José Mourinho also confirmed that Bertrand Traoré will be a part of his first team plans next season, as is Victor Moses. On 28 July, Left back Filipe Luís leaves the Blues after just one year, he moves back to former club Atlético Madrid for a reported £11.1 million.

August

Chelsea lost the 2015 FA Community Shield 1–0 to Arsenal thanks to an Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain goal in the 24th minute. Diego Costa missed the game through injury, and it was the first time Arsène Wenger defeated José Mourinho in fourteen attempts.

On 3 August, Todd Kane signs a new three-year deal at the club, therefore keeping him at the blues until 2018. Young England forward Dominic Solanke joins fellow Blues players Isiah Brown, Lewis Baker, Nathan and Danilo Pantić on loan at Dutch Eredivisie team Vitesse on a season long loan.

On 5 August, Chelsea lost to Fiorentina 1–0 which leave the Blues without a single victory during pre-season.

Mohammed Salah joins A.S. Roma on a season long loan and Todd Kane joins NEC Nijmegen. On 7 August, manager José Mourinho has signed a new four-year contract, the new deal will keep him at Stamford Bridge until at least 2019. Young centre-back Alex Davey joins Peterborough United on a one-month loan deal.

Chelsea started their Premier League campaign at home against Swansea City. Swansea come from behind twice to draw 2–2 with 10 man Chelsea. Oscar gave the Blues the lead before André Ayew drew Swansea level, yet Chelsea went in 2–1 up at the break thanks to a Federico Fernández own goal. 6 minutes into the second half Thibaut Courtois was sent off for a last man foul on Bafétimbi Gomis, and Gomis stepped up to equalise for the Swans.

Oriol Romeu joins the Saints after four years as a Chelsea player in which he made 33 appearances, scoring once from the penalty spot against Wolverhampton Wanderers in 2012.

Nathan Aké has signed a new five-year contract with Chelsea and will continue his development by spending this season on loan in the Premier League at Watford.

Manchester City hammered the Blues 3–0 at the Etihad Stadium, goals from Sergio Aguero, Vincent Kompany and Fernandinho condemned José Mourinho to his joint heaviest defeat whilst in charge of Chelsea. Despite only being the second game of the season Manchester City move 5 points ahead of the Blues, and directly after the game FC Augsburg announce that Baba Rahman has signed for Chelsea for a reported fee of £21.7m.

The Blues announce the signing of Barcelona winger Pedro, for a reported £21.4 million. He signs a four-year deal with Chelsea, Pedro has won the World Cup, European Championship, 3 UEFA Champions League's and numerous titles in Spain with Barcelona. Pedro will wear the number 17 shirt, which was given to Baba Rahman yet he has switched to number 6. The number 17 was previously worn by José Bosingwa and Eden Hazard.

On 23 August, the Blues announced the signing of Kenedy from Fluminense, who will wear the No.16 shirt. Pedro stars on his Chelsea debut as he scores one and assists another as the Blues win their first game of the season against West Brom. Thibaut Courtois saved a first half James Morrison penalty before goals from Pedro, Diego Costa and César Azpilicueta sent Chelsea in 3–1 up at the break. Despite having John Terry sent off in the 54th minute Chelsea held on to claim all three points.

Chelsea are drawn away against Walsall in the Third Round Capital One Cup. While Juan Cuadrado signs on a year long loan deal for Italian Serie A club Juventus.

At José Mourinho's 200th Premier League match Chelsea lost 1–2 to Crystal Palace at home. The defeat was only Mourinho's second home defeat in his Chelsea career, goals from Bakary Sako and Joel Ward either side of Falcao's first goal for the Blues sent Chelsea 8 points behind leaders Manchester City.

September

On transfer deadline day, Chelsea announced the signing of Nantes defender Papy Djilobodji for a reported £2.7 million. Victor Moses extends his contract for another four years and is loaned to West Ham. The blues also signed Michael Hector for a reported £4 million from Reading. The defender was imminently loaned back to Reading for the whole season.

First choice keeper Thibaut Courtois is ruled out for up to three months with a knee injury. The Blues poor form continued as they suffered another defeat, this time away at Everton. A Steven Naismith hat-trick condemned Chelsea to a third defeat after just five games, as many as they suffered in the entire previous season.

Chelsea win their first home game of the season as they defeat Maccabi Tel Aviv 4–0. Goals from Willian, Oscar, Costa and Fàbregas sent the Blues top of Group G after one game. This victory was Chelsea's first clean sheet since the Blues won the title last March 1–0 against Crystal Palace.

Goals from Kurt Zouma and a Calum Chambers own goal gave Chelsea a 2–0 victory over 9 man Arsenal. Gabriel Paulista and Santi Cazorla were sent off, Gabriel for kicking out at Costa and Cazorla for two yellow cards. The Blues also keep their first clean sheet of the 2015-16 Premier League season, Zouma's goal was his first in the Premier League for Chelsea. Two days after the game, both Chelsea and Arsenal were charged with failing to control their players and Costa was charged with an act of violent conduct for the incident that started the disturbance, where he slapped Laurent Koscielny in the face, which was not seen by the match officials but caught on video. Costa was given a three-match suspension, while Gabriel had his three-match suspension withdrawn after a "wrongful dismissal claim" from Arsenal and he was available for their next match.

Chelsea came from 2–0 down with 10 minutes to play to secure a point away to Newcastle United thanks to late goals from substitutes Ramires and Willian. Ayoze Pérez and Georginio Wijnaldum sent the Magpies ahead, before the Brazilian substitutes sent the Blues 5 points off the top 4.

The Blues last game in September finished in a 2–1 loss to Porto, in a hard fought game Chelsea failed to claim a draw as goals from André André and Maicon sent Porto one point ahead of Chelsea.

October

Chelsea's starting eleven against Dynamo Kyiv in the UEFA Champions League.

Chelsea's poor start to the season continued as Southampton came from behind to record a victory at Stamford Bridge. The Blues have taken only eight points from a possible 24 this season and are only four above the relegation zone. After Saturday's home defeat, Chelsea have offered their full support to manager José Mourinho. Meanwhile, Blues captain John Terry says the 52-year-old Portuguese is the best person to help the club recover from their miserable start. "If anyone is going to get us out of this hole it is going to be José Mourinho," said the 34-year-old defender.

The Blues defeat Aston Villa 2–0 at Stamford Bridge, with a Diego Costa goal and an Alan Hutton own goal. José Mourinho dropped Eden Hazard, Nemanja Matić and Gary Cahill and chose to start youngsters Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Baba Rahman. Four days later Chelsea draw 0–0 with Ukrainian side Dynamo Kiev, keeping them in third place one point behind the Ukrainian champions.

José Mourinho and Nemanja Matic were sent-off as Chelsea's miserable Premier League campaign continued with a 2-1 defeat at West Ham on Saturday. Mauro Zarate fired the Hammers in front when Chelsea failed to clear a corner. Matic was sent off after being booked twice in nine minutes before the break, and Mourinho joined him after speaking to referee Jon Moss at half-time. Gary Cahill levelled from a corner but Carroll met Aaron Cresswell's cross to send the Hammers second in the table.

Kit information

Adidas have launched three kits as usual for Chelsea. Each kits feature a fingerprint motif woven onto the label, which symbolises the connection of the club's fans, according to the website.

  • Home: The home kit stays loyal to tradition, with white and red trims at the collar, sleeves, shorts and socks. The vertical pinstripes pay a tribute to Chelsea's history, which have been a feature of several iconic shirts from the past three decades. The kit features a fingerprint motif woven onto a label on each shirt. The sponsor logo of Adidas and the words "YOKOHAMA TYRES" are both white, while the sponsor logo of Yokohama is red.
  • Away: The away kit features a predominantly white body with blue and red bands on each arm. Same as the home shirt, the away kit features a "fingerprint" on the hem. The sponsor logo of Adidas and the words "YOKOHAMA TYRES" are both blue, while the sponsor logo of Yokohama is red. The shorts and socks are white and blue respectively, enabling them to be mixed and matched with their home counterparts.
  • Third: The third kit is black and white and features a fading, lateral pinstripe design on the shorts, which features as a subtle graphic on the shirt as well. The badge is adjusted to the kit colours of black and white. The kit follows the theme of many other third kits of important clubs that Adidas supplies for the big club. The sponsor logo of Adidas and the words "YOKOHAMA TYRES" are both white, while the sponsor logo of Yokohama is red.
  • Keeper: The primary goalkeeper kit is 'vivid mint', combined with navy blue applications. There is also an alternative yellow kit as well.

Chelsea have qualified for the Group Stage of the 2015–16 UEFA Champions League due to winning the 2014–15 Premier League. Having previously been seeded in pot 1 for the Champions League draw as one of the top 8 ranked teams in UEFA, Chelsea would remain staying in pot 1 despite the changes to UEFA qualification rules, where pot 1 for group stage draws would now consist of the Champions League holders and the champions of the seven highest ranked associations. The group stage draw was made on 27 August 2015 in Monaco, France. Chelsea are to face Porto, Dynamo Kyiv and Maccabi Tel Aviv.
