What is the Chelsea vs Roma UWCL fixture?
Chelsea vs Roma refers to the UEFA Women’s Champions League 2025/26 league-phase match between Chelsea FC Women and AS Roma, played at Stamford Bridge in London. It is part of the new league-format stage where clubs accumulate points across multiple fixtures rather than playing in traditional small groups.
Match listings show Chelsea hosting Roma at Stamford Bridge in this phase of the competition, with the game scheduled in the evening under the European calendar.[1] Both sides arrive with very different records: Chelsea are near the top of the overall table, while Roma sit close to the bottom after a tough start to their European campaign.[1][2]
Form, lineups and key players
Chelsea come into this tie unbeaten in the league phase, with two wins and two draws from their first four matches and a goal difference of +10 in the competition standings.[2] Roma, by contrast, have collected just one point from four games, leaving them among the lowest-ranked sides in the overall table and in urgent need of a result.[2]
Team news from Chelsea confirms that head coach Sonia Bompastor has made six changes to her starting XI for the Roma game, rotating heavily while still fielding a strong side.[5] ESPN and UEFA statistics highlight attacking threats such as Sam Kerr and Catarina Macario for Chelsea, while Roma look to leaders like Giada Greggi and Emilie Haavi, who have contributed goals and assists and recently helped Roma earn a 1–1 draw with Juventus in Serie A.[2][3][5]
Stakes, standings and wider impact
In the overall Women’s Champions League league-phase table, Chelsea’s eight-point haul places them firmly in contention for progression to the knockout rounds and a favourable seeding.[2] A strong home result against Roma would consolidate that position, while any slip could open the door to rivals chasing the same qualification spots.[2][4]
For Roma, starting the round on one point means that every remaining game is effectively must-win if they hope to stay in contention.[2] Live score services track detailed in-game metrics such as possession, shots, big chances and momentum, allowing fans to see whether Roma can turn their domestic form and experienced core into a shock result at Stamford Bridge or whether Chelsea will underline their status as one of Europe’s leading women’s clubs.[1][2][3]
