Where to Watch Chelsea vs Barcelona November 2025

Mansion Sports – The 2025/2026 UEFA Champions League once again delivers a high-stakes clash on matchday five as two European powerhouses, Chelsea and Barcelona, prepare to face each other.

This marquee fixture will take place at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday, 25 November 2025 at 20:00 local time.

Both teams have collected seven points from their first four matches, a sign of fluctuating form that leaves them outside the automatic qualification zone for the Round of 16, positioned 12th and 11th respectively.

Here is Mansion Sports’ guide on where to watch Chelsea vs Barcelona in November 2025 so you do not miss any of the action.

Team Conditions Ahead of the Match

Chelsea

Chelsea were once again forced to work hard on matchday four, managing only a single point from their visit to Qarabag.

Alejandro Garnacho rescued the team with an equaliser that secured a 2–2 draw. The result extended their wait for a first away victory in this season’s Champions League. However, Chelsea remain formidable at Stamford Bridge.

Benfica and Ajax have already fallen victim to their strength at home, and the Blues have not lost in their last 16 European group-phase matches in London since their defeat to Valencia in 2019.

Ahead of the meeting with Barcelona, Chelsea are also enjoying a strong run in the Premier League.

Three consecutive clean-sheet victories, capped by a 2–0 win over Burnley, have lifted them to second place in the standings.

Their young squad continues to impress, marking 50 Premier League matches without starting a player aged 30 or above—a rare level of consistency and a clear reflection of successful squad rejuvenation.

Regarding player fitness, Reece James caused some concern when he was substituted at halftime against Burnley, but Enzo Maresca confirmed it was a planned change.

Wesley Fofana, rested for precautionary reasons, is expected to be available, while Romeo Lavia, Cole Palmer, Levi Colwill, and Mykhaylo Mudryk remain in recovery.

Barcelona

Barcelona recently celebrated their first home victory at the newly renovated Camp Nou with a resounding 4–0 win over Athletic Bilbao.

Ferran Torres netted twice, Lamine Yamal contributed two assists, while Robert Lewandowski and Fermin Lopez each added a goal.

Beyond their attacking output, the win also delivered Barcelona’s first clean sheet in 11 matches—a promising sign for a defensive unit that has faced significant criticism this season.

However, stability has yet to be achieved in the Champions League. Their 3–3 draw against Club Brugge highlighted lingering defensive vulnerabilities, as the team has conceded in every match of the competition so far.

Despite this, Barcelona hold positive memories from their last Champions League meeting with Chelsea, winning 3–0 in the 2017–18 season.

Even so, their record at Stamford Bridge remains mixed, with only one victory from their previous seven visits.

In terms of squad condition, Alejandro Balde was withdrawn following a head collision but avoided serious issues.

Raphinha has returned from a hamstring injury and is ready to compete for a starting role. Frenkie de Jong is also available after serving a domestic suspension, while Pedri, Gavi, and first-choice goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen remain sidelined.
