Overview
- Kickoff is Wednesday, October 8 at 17:45 BST (12:45 p.m. ET) at De Grolsch Veste in Enschede.
- UK viewers can stream the match on Disney+, while U.S. guidance is inconsistent with some outlets listing Paramount+ and others giving conflicting options.
- Chelsea travel without Catarina Macario due to an Achilles issue, with Lucy Bronze, Lauren James and Niamh Charles also not making the trip, as confirmed by Sonia Bompastor.
- Dutch champions Twente have begun the season strongly at the top of the Eredivisie, while Chelsea are unbeaten and leading the WSL.
- UEFA’s new 18-team league phase places a premium on early points for top-four seeding, and Chelsea won both meetings with Twente last season (3-1 away, 6-1 home).
