The 2004-05 season was Chelsea F.C.'s 90th competitive season, 13th consecutive season in the Premier League and 99th year as a club. Managed by José Mourinho, Chelsea won the Premier League title and the Carling Cup. It was the first time that they had won a league title for 50 years.

After missing out on the league title to the unbeaten Arsenal the previous season, Chelsea continued spending vast sums of money in order to build a squad capable of challenging for honours. They were in their second season under the ownership of Roman Abramovich, enabling them to sign five players for more than £10million each, including Didier Drogba from Olympique de Marseille and Ricardo Carvalho from Mourinho's former club FC Porto. Paulo Ferreira also followed Mourinho to Chelsea.

In the Champions League, Chelsea aimed to improve upon their semi-final placing the previous year, but in the end they matched their achievement. They also exited the FA Cup in the fifth round to Newcastle United.

Team kit

The team kit was produced by Umbro and the shirt sponsor was Emirates Airline and bore the "Fly Emirates" logo. Chelsea's home kit was retained from the previous season and was all blue with a white collar. Their new away kit was black with grey shorts and grey accents. Chelsea retained last season's away kit as their third kit for this season, an all white kit with black and blue stripes down the center.
