The pattern: most details are locked in, but the official product imagery and exact on-sale date remain the biggest unknowns.

When is the Chelsea away kit 25/26 release date?

What date will the Chelsea away kit 25/26 be revealed?

The kit has already been officially launched, according to Goal.com (football news outlet), and is set to debut at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. That suggests a release window in summer 2025, likely July or August — in line with typical Nike kit cycles.
Leak-based reports from YouTube channel Harrycfxi also point to a July/August 2025 release.

When will the kit go on sale?

The Chelsea FC Store already lists the “Chelsea Nike Away Stadium Shirt 2025-26” as a purchasable product (Chelsea FC Store (official club merch site)), and the “Chelsea Nike Third Stadium Shirt 2025-26” is also listed. It is unclear from the store page when stock will ship, but the listing itself confirms the kit is live.

Bottom line: Chelsea’s 2025-26 away kit is already announced and listed for sale. Fans eager to pre-order can do so now at the club store; those who wait may find wider retailer availability in July or August.

What does the Chelsea away kit 25/26 look like?

What colors are used?

Confirmed color palette: off-white Phantom base, dark military green identified as “Galactic Jade,” and red accents (Goal.com).
Protech Kit Zone (kit listing site) lists the colorway as “Phantom/Speed Red/Galactic Jade.”
Leaked images from TheNewKits (kit retailer) show an off-white base with red and green vertical pinstripes.

What is the design inspiration?

According to Goal.com (football news outlet), the away kit’s design is inspired by Chelsea’s 1974-75 away shirt. That classic featured a white body with a central vertical stripe in red and green — a motif that appears to be revived in the 2025-26 iteration. The third kit, meanwhile, uses black and silver with royal blue trim, as described by Chelsea FC on their official social media (Chelsea FC official website).

Why this matters

By reviving a 1974-75 design, Chelsea is betting on nostalgia over modernism — a contrast to the third kit’s sleek black-silver scheme. For collectors, the away kit may become the more sought-after piece.

How much does the Chelsea away kit 25/26 cost?

What is the price for adult sizes?

Match edition (authentic): £125 (Goal.com)
Stadium version (replica): £85 (Goal.com)

Is there a youth price?

Yes. The youth stadium jersey is expected at £65, based on the same Goal.com report.

TheNewKits lists a player version at £39.99 (down from £59.99), but this is a third-party reseller and should be treated with caution — official pricing remains as reported above.

Pricing note

The match edition at £125 and stadium at £85 put Chelsea in line with other top Premier League clubs for the 2025-26 season — no surprise, but useful for budget planning.

Where can I buy the Chelsea away kit 25/26?

Will it be available online?

Yes. The kit is already listed on the Chelsea FC Store (official club merch site), and major retailers JD Sports, Sports Direct, and Nike.com are expected to stock it (based on typical Nike retail distribution). The club store currently offers both the away and third stadium shirts.

Which retailers will stock it?

Chelsea FC official shop (online and in-store)
JD Sports (likely online and select stores)
Sports Direct (online and in-store)
Nike.com (official Nike e‑commerce)

Pre-orders may be available now via the club store, though shipping dates are not yet confirmed.

What are the key details about the Chelsea away kit 25/26?

Is there a junior version?

Yes. Goal.com confirms a youth stadium jersey at £65, meaning junior sizes will be available.

Who manufactures the kit?

Nike manufactures all Chelsea kits as part of a long-term partnership (Goal.com). The product code HJ4602-031 (Protech Kit Zone (kit listing site)) further confirms Nike’s internal catalog numbering. The implication: nothing changes on the manufacturing front, which is good news for fans who trust Nike’s consistency.

How does it compare to the third kit?

The third kit (2025-26) uses a black and silver palette with royal blue trim, revived from 20 years ago (Chelsea FC official website). The away kit, by contrast, is off-white with green and red accents — a completely different heritage reference.

The pattern across the two designs reveals a deliberate strategy.

Two kits, two eras: the third kit goes for early-2000s retro, the away kit for 1970s throwback.
Detail	Away Kit 25/26	Third Kit 25/26
Base Color	Off-white Phantom	Black
Accents	Galactic Jade, Red	Silver, Royal Blue
Inspiration Era	1974-75	2005-06
Price (Stadium)	£85	£85
Price (Match)	£125	£125

What this means: Chelsea is covering two distinct retro eras in one season — the 1970s for the away kit and the early 2000s for the third. Collectors now have to decide which decade matters more.

— Chelsea FC official Facebook post (describing third kit, 2025)

For Chelsea fans in the UK and beyond, the 2025-26 away kit represents a deliberate step back into the club’s 1970s identity — a contrast to the modern black-and-silver third kit. The choice is clear: nostalgia at £85 (stadium version) or a match-day authentic at £125. For collectors focusing on the away kit, the wait is nearly over — the kit is already listed, and the Club World Cup debut will be its first public stage.
