Xabi Alonso leads Chelsea into the club's final preseason test ahead of the 2026/27 season as the Blues take on La Liga side Real Sociedad on Saturday at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea are targeting improvement from last season's disappointing 10th-placed result in the Premier League standings, which saw them fail to qualify for any European competition.
Real Sociedad, meanwhile, finished in exactly the same position in the Spanish top flight last season, but managed to qualify for the Europa League thanks to their triumph in the Copa del Rey.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match and kickoff times.
