Chelsea vs Pafos FC kick-off time

Champions League - Champions League

Stamford Bridge

Chelsea vs Pafos kicks off on 21 Jan 2026 at 15:00 EST and 20:00 GMT.

Match preview

Newly-appointed Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior will take charge of his fourth game and will do so in a fourth different competition here against the Cypriot outfit Pafos. His predecessor, Enzo Maresca, oversaw the first six group phase matches, leaving the Blues on 10 points and with work to do. All of their defeats have been away from home, and the Londoners have beaten Barcelona, Ajax and Benfica at Stamford Bridge in this competition. Rosenier's side beat West Ham at the weekend in the Premier League, only the club's second win from eight across all competitions.

Debutants Pafos have far from ashamed themselves, with a highlight win against Villarreal in November. However, thorough defeats against Bayern and Juventus have highlighted the gulf between them and the best European sides.
