Acclaimed production company Fulwell73 will go behind the scenes at Cobham and Kingsmeadow, filming Flying High across the course of the 2019/20 season with unprecedented access to the club and its people, chronicling Emma Hayes and her side as they begin the hunt to reclaim domestic silverware.

The series will unfold over eight, hour-long episodes and follow the players from the forthcoming Women’s World Cup through pre-season training and the highs of the lows of the campaign.

Guy Laurence, Chelsea Football Club chief executive, said: ‘We are delighted Fulwell73 approached us to make this documentary about Chelsea FC Women. We are extremely proud of the team and everything it has achieved in recent years, and look forward to showcasing the incredible talent and commitment of our players and staff to a worldwide audience.

‘This announcement comes at a hugely important time for female football with a hotly anticipated World Cup on the horizon, ahead of another exciting FA Women’s Super League season, which will no doubt be even more competitive than ever. Flying High will bring our legions of supporters, as well as many millions of women’s football fans, behind the scenes to see just what makes Chelsea FC Women the team it is.’
