Chelsea FC has been sanctioned by the Premier League for historic financial and youth registration breaches. The club self-reported undisclosed third-party payments from 2011–2018, leading to a £10M fine and a suspended one-year transfer ban. Additionally, Chelsea faces a nine-month Academy registration ban and a £750,000 fine.

London: The Premier League has completed a disciplinary process with Chelsea FC in respect of historical breaches relating to Financial Reporting and Third Party Investment.

In 2022, Chelsea FC's current owners voluntarily reported to the League that they had evidence of potential breaches of Premier League Rules, according to a release.

As a result of the Premier League's investigation, it was established that between 2011 and 2018, undisclosed payments by third parties associated with the club were made to players, unregistered agents and other third parties.

These payments were not disclosed to the football regulatory authorities at the time, including the Premier League.
