Tens of thousands of Chelsea fans are expected to line the streets of west London later to celebrate the club's historic Champions League win.
Hordes of jubilant supporters are expected to salute their heroes during an open-top bus parade after the dramatic victory over Bayern Munich.
The procession is due to start from Stamford Bridge at 16:00 BST.
It comes less than 24 hours after the Blues won 4-3 on penalties at Bayern Munich's home ground in Germany.
Bayern had looked on course to win their fifth European Cup when they scored late in the game to give them a 1-0 lead.
But Didier Drogba equalised from a corner in the 88th minute to take the match into extra time.
A penalty by Bayern's Dutch winger Arjen Robben was later saved by Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech, leaving the final to be decided in a shootout.
As well as the Champions League trophy - the first time it has ever been won by Chelsea or any London club - the players, management and staff of Chelsea will show off the FA Cup during the parade.
The Blues beat Liverpool 2-1 at Wembley on 5 May to clinch that silverware.
