Best sections

East or West Stand (main sides, lower)

The lower side tiers give the closest, most natural view of play; aim for center sections near the halfway line.

The Shed End (behind the goal)

The historic Shed End is the traditional home of Chelsea's loudest support, though the angle straight behind the goal is flat.

Upper tier, center

Center sections of the upper tiers give a clear full-pitch view and are often better value than the lower sidelines.

Insider tips

  • Take the Tube to Fulham Broadway (District line), a short walk from the ground; there is essentially no matchday parking nearby.
  • It is a tight, sold-out ground for big games, so buy early and arrive in good time to clear the queues at the gates.
