Chelsea fans can begin planning their European adventures over the next few months as the date and time for the club's Champions League games has been announced.
After a year away from the competition, the Blues were drawn in group H alongside Ajax, Valencia and Lille in the group stage draw that took place on Thursday evening in Monaco.
A third place Premier League finish, plus a victory in last year's Europa League meant that Chelsea were in pot number one for the draw.
Former goalkeeper Petr Cech was part one of the parties involved in selecting which teams will play each other during the draw.
Chelsea will come up against La Liga side Valencia in their opening match on Tuesday September 17th, before making the short journey to Lille to take on the Ligue 1 side on Wednesday October 2nd.
The Blues will end their group stage by playing the French side at home on Tuesday December 10th.
Chelsea will also have a kick off at the new time of 5.55pm when they take on last year's semi-finalists Ajax on Wednesday 23rd October.
