Who could Chelsea face in today’s Champions League draw?

Chelsea will be hoping to plot another deep run in the Champions League as they prepare to find out their round of 16 opposition.

The Premier League side secured a top-eight finish during the initial phase despite parting ways with manager Enzo Maresca, and Liam Rosenior will now have a chance to oversee his first European knockout campaign.

Twice winners of the competition, Chelsea have a good recent trophy record, following up Conference League success with a Club World Cup crown last summer, though will perhaps covet this rather more.

There could be English opposition next up, with Newcastle demolishing Qarabag 9-3 on aggregate, or a foe from Ligue 1, with Paris Saint-Germain the other possibility.

Defending champions PSG led Monaco 3-2 after the first leg and a 2-2 at the Parc de Princes was enough to send them through. Barcelona will play whoever is not drawn against Chelsea .

The Champions League last-16 draw will take place in Nyon at 11pm GMT (12pm local time) on Friday 27 February.

The draw will be streamed live on Uefa’s website, YouTube channel and Champions League app.

The last-16 ties will take place in mid-March. Here are the remaining round dates:

Round of 16: 10/11 & 17/18 March 2026

Quarter-finals: 7/8 & 14/15 April 2026
