After a 2021/22 campaign no-one could have seen coming off the pitch, Chelsea start 2022/23 under new owners.
Todd Boehly has taken over a team who qualified for the UEFA Champions League by finishing third last time out — and head coach Thomas Tuchel will no doubt hope his players can challenge for the Premier League.
Despite the uncertainty around the future of the club's ownership, Chelsea went close to winning the most recent editions of the Carabao Cup and FA Cup, losing to Liverpool on penalties in the finals of both competitions.
What dates do Boehly and Blues fans need to put in their diary? Here's the schedule for the coming season:

Chelsea Premier League betting odds
Challenging reigning champions Manchester City and Liverpool, who finished 18 points ahead of Chelsea in second, would represent a considerable achievement for Chelsea in 2022/23 — not least when Tuchel has had to deal with such a period of uncertainty at Stamford Bridge.
But the Blues have been bolstered by new signings, with Raheem Sterling the standout acquisition of the close-season, and so they will have every hope of breaking back into the top two and pushing their rivals close this year, although Tottenham are also fancied to run the title-chasers close.

Chelsea best & worst Premier League finish
Chelsea have won the Premier League five times, most recently finishing first in 2016/17 under current Spurs boss Antonio Conte.
Jose Mourinho guided Chelsea to successive titles in 2004/05 and 2005/06, signalling an abrupt change in English football as former club owner Roman Abramovich's wealth heralded vast transfer outlays.
Before Abramovich took over, Chelsea often had to settle for being top-flight also-rans. Their worst finish was in 1993/94, when they finished 14th under player-manager and England midfield legend Glenn Hoddle.
