1957-58 Friendlies
From TheChels.info - The Chelsea Football Club Wiki
It seems that Chelsea may have had a couple of "behind closed doors" practice matchs before then arranging their first public match on the 14th. August. Following the usual Pre-Season practise match at the start of the 1957/58 season, Chelsea played six friendly matches during the season, mostly at home.
