The Premier League 2 returns this weekend and you can watch Chelsea Under-21s host Crystal Palace in a London derby live for free on the Chelsea Official App and website.
Due to the winter break and our involvement in the Premier League International Cup, Chelsea Under-21s haven’t taken to the pitch in the Premier League 2 for two months. That was in early November, when our last league fixture of 2025 ended in an emphatic 4-1 home win over Reading, Jesse Derry and Harrison Murray-Campbell getting on the scoresheet alongside a brace by captain Shumaira Mheuka.
Now the Blues will look to carry that form into 2026 and close the four-point gap to the top of the table when we host Crystal Palace this weekend. Here is how you can follow the game live…
