Wrexham vs. Chelsea: Head-to-head record and past meetings

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 10

Wrexham wins: 2

Draws: 3

Chelsea wins: 5

Wrexham and Chelsea have faced each other a total of 10 times across all competitions, with the Blues leading the overall head-to-head record as they have won five games compared to the Red Dragons' two, while three draws have been played out between the two clubs.

The first ever meeting between the sides took place in August 1979 in the old Division Two, where Chelsea secured a 3-1 victory at Stamford Bridge.

However, Wrexham proved to be a difficult opponent in that era, exacting revenge in the reverse fixture with a 2-0 win at the Racecourse Ground just four months later.

The most competitive period in this fixture's history came in 1982, when the teams were forced into two FA Cup fifth-round replays after initial stalemates of 0-0 and 1-1. It was the Londoners who eventually progressed to the next round with a hard-fought 2-1 victory in the second replay.

The two clubs renewed their rivalry after 44 years in March 2026 when they met in the FA Cup fifth-round, with Chelsea travelling to Wrexham.

Despite the home side's hopes of producing a giant-killing, Chelsea twice came from behind to beat a 10-man Wrexham 4-2 in extra-time.

Across their ten meetings, Wrexham have failed to score in only three matches, while Chelsea have managed just one clean sheet in their five visits to North Wales.
