Stamford Bridge

Stamford Bridge is one of the oldest senior football grounds in England (Chelsea were formed in 1905 specifically to play at the existing Stamford Bridge ground). The current 40,000-seat configuration is small by modern Premier League standards, which has led to a consistent stream of plans – never executed – to expand or rebuild on the site.

What happens here

• Chelsea FC Premier League and European home matches.
• Chelsea Women’s selected WSL and Champions League matches.
• Year-round corporate events and the Chelsea Megastore + Stadium Tour experience.
• Two on-site hotels make it a 7-day-a-week venue for hospitality work.

Who runs hospitality and catering

Legends/ASM Global runs catering and premium hospitality at Stamford Bridge and Kingsmeadow under a multi-year partnership that began with the 2025/26 season. It took over from Levy UK, whose 20-year contract with Chelsea ended in summer 2025.

What’s it like to work here

Compared to the bigger London grounds, Stamford Bridge has fewer total matchday seats but a proportionally larger premium and hospitality offer – which means a higher share of the casual roles are in fine dining, executive boxes and lounge service rather than kiosks and concourses. It’s a strong city for staff who already have hospitality experience and want to step up.

Other operators
