Chelsea head to Orlando for their final game of their 2022 pre-season tour of the United States against Arsenal, and all the details of how to watch the friendly have been revealed.
Their Stateside tour will conclude this weekend when they face their London counterparts in Florida at the Camping World Stadium.
It’s been a positive two weeks for Thomas Tuchel’s side across the Atlantic. They spent a week together training in Los Angeles, before beating Club America in Las Vegas.

In the opening week, Chelsea were joined by new signings Raheem Sterling and Kalidou Koulibaly, before heading to North Carolina to play Charlotte FC, their second friendly, which ended in a 5-3 penalty shootout defeat after it finished 1-1 in 90 minutes.
Tuchel and co will face Arsenal in Orlando before heading back to England to complete their preparations ahead of their Premier League opener against Everton on 6 August.
They have one final friendly in Italy next Friday against Udinese, but Tuchel wants a better performance from his team against Mikel Arteta’s Gunners after a disappointing second half display against Charlotte FC.

He admitted: "Second half, it took us half an hour to show some quality and then it was maybe for ten minutes, so it was not good at all. Not offensively, not structure-wise, not in effort, hunger to be the dominant team. It was not good enough."
Who Chelsea will play in the attacking trio - Kai Havertz, Mason Mount and Raheem Sterling all played in the second half - remains unclear, but Tuchel sent them a warning after the defeat in Charlotte.
He added: “I didn’t see it today (that being the strongest front three). So it doesn’t matter what I have in my mind, the only thing that matters is what I see on the pitch. I saw four accelerations in the second half and they all came from Raheem.

"This is what he delivers and there is no need for major doubts or huge criticism, but it is never important what the manager has in his head before pre-season, it’s the reality that counts. Every day in training and matches like this count and from there we go.”
