Leaked: Chelsea 26-27 Third Goalkeeper Kit, Yellow Retro

TL;DR

• Chelsea’s 2026-27 third goalkeeper shirt has surfaced: a Nike design in yellow with bold black graphics across the shoulders and sleeves, as reported.
• It made its on-pitch debut on 17 October 2026, worn by Emiliano Martínez away at Everton, and it echoes early-2010s Nike keeper shirts.
• It is not on sale and may never be. 433FC does not stock it, but we do sell the matching third kit as a replica.

The Leak

Goalkeeper shirts usually arrive quietly, so this one had fans guessing for a while. The first look came from the kit insider grhaer9, who shared the design before any match-day footage existed. Nothing from the club accompanied it, so it was a leak in the plain sense of the word.

Then the shirt left the rumour stage. On 17 October 2026, Emiliano Martínez wore it in the Premier League match away at Everton, and the debut was spotted by Maillots_FC. Footy Headlines updated its report with the on-pitch evidence, and we’ve drawn every detail below from that coverage.

The timing is neat. That same game saw the white 26-27 third outfield kit make its first senior appearance, so both pieces of the set appeared together.

This is a loud shirt, and it clearly isn’t trying to blend in. The base is yellow, a colour that has always been a goalkeeper staple, and it is covered with black graphic patterns that spread across the shoulders and down the sleeves.

On the chest sits the shielded CFC lion crest, with a black Nike swoosh opposite it. Both marks stay compact, so the yellow and the graphics do the talking.

The patterning is the real story. It resembles the busy, angular keeper templates Nike produced in the early 2010s. The report draws a direct comparison to the Manchester United 2010-11 goalkeeper shirt that Edwin van der Sar wore in his final season. Is that a coincidence? Probably not. Retro references are everywhere in kit design right now.

Matching the third kit

The goalkeeper shirt is described as matching the third kit set. That makes sense on the pitch, since the keeper has to stand apart from a mostly white outfield team without clashing with it.

How It Compares

The two third-kit pieces are close to opposites. The outfield shirt is mainly white with red and blue accents, listed in the colours White, Rush Blue and Global Red, and it went on release on 12 September 2026. The goalkeeper shirt is the loud one, as the table shows.

The white outfield shirt is a small talking point too. The 2025-26 away kit was off-white, and the 2024-25 away was a light beige, so a properly white third is a return to form. Our Chelsea 26-27 third kit release report covers it in detail, and the goalkeeper shirts explained guide shows why keeper designs differ so much from outfield ones.

When Can You Buy It?

Right now, you can’t. The retail position is simple: the goalkeeper shirt is not yet available to buy, and it might not be sold at all. Keeper kits sometimes stay match-use only, so treat any release date you see online with caution until the club says otherwise.

To be clear about us, 433FC is an independent retailer of replica supporter shirts, not affiliated with any club, league or manufacturer. We do not stock the third goalkeeper shirt. What we do carry for this set is the men’s Chelsea 2026/27 third jersey, the player version of that jersey and the third shorts, all as replicas.

FAQ

Is this the real kit?

Yes, as far as the evidence goes. It began as an insider leak from grhaer9, and it was then worn by Emiliano Martínez at Everton on 17 October 2026. That match footage is the strongest confirmation available, though the details here are as reported.

When does it release?

No release date is known. The shirt is not yet available to buy, and it might not be sold at all. Check the club and Nike directly for any confirmed retail news before you plan a purchase.
