FA Cup Soccer 2026 Live Stream: Watch Charlton vs Chelsea

Life begins on Saturday for Chelsea under new management Liam Rosenior, as the former Strasbourg manager takes the reins in west London. His first game will be against Championship side Charlton in a Capital Derby Cup clash.

Rosenior, who was named as Enzo Maresca’s replacement earlier this week, will be hoping for a more positive experience after watching Chelsea’s 2-1 defeat to local rivals Fulham from the directors’ box on Wednesday.

A Charlton side that sits uncomfortably close to the Championship relegation zone in 19th stands in the way of a winning start for the new Blues boss. Nathan Jones’ Addicks have just one win in their last 11 matches.

Charlton Athletic take on Chelsea at The Valley on Saturday January 10. Kick-off is set for 8:00 p.m. GMT local time in the UK, which is 3 p.m. ET or 12 p.m. PT in the United States and Canada, and 7 I am AEDT in Australia early Sunday morning.
