Champions Travel has signed a new contract with Chelsea FC, being named one of just two Official Global Hospitality Travel Partners for the 2025/26 season.
The agreement emerged from a competitive tender process and strengthens a long-standing relationship between the Donegal-based company and the Premier League club.
It further cements Champions Travel’s reputation as one of Europe’s leading sports travel providers.
The new deal will see Champions Travel offer official hospitality packages for all Chelsea home games at Stamford Bridge, including premium matchday experiences such as Rose & Ball Hospitality, Matchdays at the Museum, and Blues Dining, bringing fans closer to the action in one of football’s most iconic stadiums.
As Premier League inbound sports tourism continues to grow, particularly from Ireland, the announcement comes just ahead of the start of the new season.
Tens of thousands of Irish fans travel to London, Manchester, Liverpool, Glasgow and other cities each year to support their clubs, and Champions Travel is one of the main players in providing secure, authorised access to these experiences.
“We’re proud to continue our long-standing relationship with Chelsea FC and to be recognised once again as an official hospitality partner,” said Kevin Ward, Managing Director of Champions Travel. “This is a fantastic opportunity for our customers to access unforgettable experiences at Stamford Bridge.”
Champions Travel’s portfolio of official partnerships spans many of Europe’s elite clubs, including AC Milan, Arsenal, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Celtic, Leeds United, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, QPR, Real Madrid, and Tottenham Hotspur.
With hospitality packages for Chelsea’s 2025/26 Premier League home fixtures now on sale, demand is expected to be high among travelling fans eager to experience top-level football in style.
