'I worry at the moment' - fans on Hammers' fixtures
Following the release of the 2025-26 Premier League fixtures, we asked for your thoughts on the schedule and where West Ham might be after 10 are some of your comments:Colin: Sixteenth. Very concerned that David Sullivan and Karen Brady need to spend in the window, and they don't seem to be doing I suspect that unless this useless board invests well in new players we will be sitting in the bottom three. We need a new good spine to the team starting with a new keeper (either Burnley's, Southampton's, or both), centre-back, central midfielder and a centre-forward. We won't ever win the league title so we need to stop putting out under-strength teams in cup games and try to win some trophies. For us to move forward, there needs to be major changes within the Looking at them, 12-15 points Hopefully in the top 10. Graham Potter can do this by buying players who can bang in the goals and a goalkeeper who can keep them out. Must improve after finishing 14th last After 10 games, I believe we will have a total of 10 points because as of yet haven't seen an improvement within the We have a really decent mix of games to start the season off with. With the right signings we could be seventh to 10th by I worry at the moment. No transfer activity of note and the current squad looks weak. Still hoping for a mid-table finish and a good cup About fifth - if we are lucky.

West Ham's Premier League fixtures: Full 2025-26 schedule and key dates
West Ham kick off their 2025-26 season with a long trip to newly-promoted Sunderland, and host rivals Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur by the middle of September. Their final game of the campaign is also against newly-promoted opposition in the form of a home game against Leeds United. West Ham did not qualify for European competition in 2025-26 and Graham Potter's side had a tough campaign, getting knocked out in the third round of the FA Cup and the Carabao Cup. Advertisement All times in BST/GMT By West Ham writer Roshane Thomas Graham Potter, who replaced Julen Lopetegui in January, will hope to replicate the club's promising start to the campaign in 2023-24, when West Ham amassed 10 points from a possible 12 in their first four league games. Potter begins the season under a degree of pressure after winning only five of his first 18 league matches as head coach, losing eight and drawing five. The former Brighton and Chelsea manager will be under intense scrutiny if he fails to restore confidence with a slow start. Last season, West Ham had a paltry return of one league win (against Crystal Palace) in the first six games, losing three and drawing two. There is a tough early encounter against Chelsea, who West Ham have not beaten in the league since August 2023. In terms of the other early matches, Nottingham Forest did the double over Potter's side last term, Tottenham Hotspur will hope for a new manager bounce with Thomas Frank, Crystal Palace is a bogey team and ex-manager David Moyes will aim to continue his resurgence with Everton. The exceptional pre-Club World Cup transfer window opened on June 1 and closed nine days later on June 10. The summer window re-opened on June 16, while the cut-off date for the 2024-25 profitability and sustainability rules (PSR) reporting period coming at the end of the month on June 30. The window closes on Monday, September 1, at 11pm BST (6pm ET). The winter transfer window opens on Thursday, January 1, and closes on Monday, February 2. The new Premier League season gets underway on the weekend of August 15-17, a week after the Community Shield on August 8, when league champions Liverpool face FA Cup winners Crystal Palace. Advertisement The final match round will be played on Sunday, May 24, 2026, when all 10 matches will kick off simultaneously as usual. Premier League clubs will enter the FA Cup at the third round, which begins on Saturday, January 10. The Carabao Cup will begin in mid-August, with Premier League teams not playing in Europe entering in the second round, which starts in the week commencing August 25, and the remaining seven clubs receiving a bye to the third round, which takes place in the weeks commencing September 15 and 22.
