Chelsea fans are fuming after paying the club’s website to watch their Europa Conference League clash – but it has proved faulty.
The Blues are taking on Servette in the first leg of their Europa Conference League play-off to reach the league phase of the competition.
But the match is not being shown live on any TV broadcaster, leaving fans scrambling for a way to watch.
Chelsea’s website and app had provided a service that allowed supporters to watch through their channel.

For a fee of £4.99, fans were supposed to unlock a stream.
However, that has failed to work – despite the club still taking the payment.
It has left hordes of Chelsea fans fuming at the service, who believe they have been ‘robbed’.
One fan wrote: “I paid £4.99 for live stream from the Chelsea app and it doesn’t even give you the option to watch it after you’ve purchased.”

Another posted: “Chelsea have just robbed me, I paid £4.99 on the website to watch the game and it still says ‘buy live stream’.”
A third replied, saying: “Same thing has happened to me.”

Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca named a young side to face Servette in the Europa Conference League, including new signings Renato Veiga and Marc Guiu.
As expected, ostracised pair Raheem Sterling and Ben Chilwell were completely left out of the squad – despite there being room on the bench.
Maresca is desperate to get a win under his belt after Chelsea lost their opening Premier League match against Manchester City.

The Blues had a poor pre-season amid a turbulent summer of transfers, winning just once in a friendly against Club America but losing to Real Madrid, Celtic and Manchester City, as well as a draw against League One opposition Wrexham.
As for transfers, several players have arrived while Conor Gallagher was allowed to leave this week to join Atletico Madrid after entering the final year of his contract.
Joao Felix, who spent the latter half the season on loan at Stamford Bridge in 2022/23, has joined in a move going the other way.
