Twente v Chelsea: Women’s Champions League – Live

Chelsea Women's quest for their first Women's Champions League title commences with an away match against FC Twente in the Netherlands on Wednesday, October 8, 2025. The game, a part of the newly formatted league phase, kicks off at 5:45 pm BST at De Grolsch Veste in Enschede.

The Blues, managed by Sonia Bompastor, are aiming to replicate their domestic success on the European stage. Last season, they achieved a domestic treble while remaining undefeated in the Women's Super League. However, their Champions League journey was cut short by Barcelona.

Twente, managed by Corina Dekker, will be a tough opponent. They are currently at the top of the Eredivisie, having won all four of their league games this season. Moreover, they have a near full-strength squad, with key players like Fenna Ravensbergen and Danique van Ginkel ready to play.

In their previous encounters in the Champions League last season, Chelsea secured comfortable victories against Twente, winning 3-1 in the Netherlands and 6-1 at Stamford Bridge. Key players such as Aggie Beever-Jones, Maika Hamano and Guro Reiten scored in the away fixture. Catarina Macario, Oriane Jean-Francois, Mayra Ramirez, Sjoeke Nusken, and Eve Perisset were among the goal scorers in the home leg.

Under the new Champions League format, the teams will play six games each in the league phase. The top four teams will automatically qualify for the quarter-finals, while the teams finishing between fifth and twelfth will compete in play-off matches. Teams finishing 13th to 18th will be eliminated.

For fans in the UK, the match will be available to stream live on Disney+. Coverage is scheduled to begin at 5:00 pm BST.

As the two teams face off, fans can anticipate live updates, real-time analysis of the match, and detailed statistics, including ball possession, shots, and corner kicks.
