It resolves to No if they do not win that specific championship.

  • Chelsea — the market puts it at 16%, with $1 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 14 Jun 2027. Chelsea must finish in the top two of the 2026-27 English Premier League season for the market to resolve to Yes. Any other finishing position results in a No resolution. Readers often mistake the linked story about a Women's Champions League win as relevant, but only the final league standings determine the outcome.

The market resolves to Yes if Chelsea finishes in the top four of the 2026-27 English Premier League season. It resolves to No if they do not finish in that position.
