How to watch Chelsea vs Flamengo on DAZN (it's free)
The key game of Group D, Chelsea vs Flamengo will almost certainly decide who tops the standings (and avoids Bayern Munich in the next round). Former Blues vice-captain Jorginho now turns out in the red and black of the Mengao, and will bring a wealth of inside knowledge to his new team. You can watch Chelsea vs Flamengo live streams from anywhere with a VPN and for FREE. The Chelsea vs Flamengo live stream takes place on Friday, June 20. • Time: 2 p.m. ET / 11 a.m. PT / 7 p.m. BST / 4 a.m. AEST (Saturday)• FREE stream — DAZN (global)• Watch anywhere — try NordVPN 100% risk free Giorgian de Arrascaeta and Luiz Araujo produced the goods as Flamengo eased to a 2-0 win over ES Tunis in their opener, but coach Filipe Luis — who also used to play for Chelsea — won't need telling that they couldn't have hoped for an easier start. Araujo's goal was a thing of beauty, and it will be up to Moises Caicedo to ensure he doesn't get that amount of time and space at the Linc on Friday. Pedro Neto and Enzo Fernandez helped Chelsea see off LAFC, but the performance left a lot to be desired, with the likes of Cole Palmer and Noni Madueke never getting out of first gear. Liam Delap's assist on debut was the biggest positive for Enzo Maresca's men, though Romeo Lavia in particular seemed to love the FIFA Club World Cup's individual walkouts. Both teams expressed their shock that their opening games were played in near-empty stadiums, and with this clash scheduled for 2 p.m. local time at a 67,000-seater arena, they'd better get used to it.
