Chelsea Chairman Bruce Buck said: ‘I am delighted the club will take part in the International Champions Cup this summer, against top-quality opposition.

‘We look forward to returning to North America for the eighth time in 12 years, and visiting some iconic venues in which I am sure there will be strong Chelsea support.

‘We know the facilities we use will be second to none and Jose and the squad will be able to prepare for what already promises to be an exciting 2015/16 campaign. I am also pleased to confirm we will be continuing the important work of the Chelsea Foundation during our visit.’

As with all our Here to Play, Here to Stay pre-season trips, Foundation coaches will accompany the squad, organising a series of community projects as part of our commitment to grass roots football development in the region.

Ticket news for all our pre-season fixtures will appear here on the official Chelsea website once it becomes available.

You can see all the tour matches live on Chelsea TV HD – which will be available from 1 June.
