Chelsea Football Club has welcomed Nicholson as the Official Cocktail Supplier to both Stamford Bridge and Kingsmeadow.
Crafted in London, blending heritage, innovation and the spirit of the city, Chelsea Football Club are proud to announce Nicholson, one of London’s most historic cocktail brands, as the club’s Official Cocktail Supplier.
This new agreement marks a meeting of two iconic names born and bred in London – a fusion of tradition, innovation, and shared values. From the streets of Chelsea to the energy of the London night, both Chelsea FC and Nicholson cocktails were born in and inspired by the city we call home.
The club will be working with Nicholson to elevate the matchday experience for fans at both Stamford Bridge and Kingsmeadow. Starting off at the Men’s home fixture against Fulham on Saturday 30th August and then the women’s teams first game of the season on Friday 5th September, against Manchester City, fans will be able to enjoy a variety of pre-mixed cocktails.
In line with its innovative vision for the category, Nicholson will be introducing a pioneering tap-based cocktail system at Stamford Bridge, giving fans more choice and time to enjoy a cocktail experience on matchday. A low-alcohol option is also being planned for as part of a shared commitment to support responsible enjoyment and choice for all fans.
The 2025 SVB LIVE Conference & Exhibition – focused on elevating the live experience – is being held at Villa Park in the UK on October 6th and 7th. An Opening Night Icebreaker will kick things off in style at bp pulse LIVE on October 5th, and the event will close with a tour of Birmingham City FC’s St. Andrew’s @ Knighthead Park on the evening of October 7th.
The agreement will also see a focus on Chelsea FC Women’s team, with Nicholson pre-mixed cocktails available for fans in the industry leading ‘Bottomless at the Bridge’ as well as other hospitality and GA areas across both stadiums. Fixtures for the women’s team will also see the launch of in-bowl drinking this season at some selected matches at Stamford Bridge, where Nicholson products will be available for fans to enjoy.
