West Ham Fixtures 2024/25: Complete Schedule and Latest Updates

Understanding West Ham United’s Fixture Schedule

West Ham United’s fixture list represents a crucial roadmap for supporters planning their matchday experiences throughout the season. For the 2024/25 campaign, the Hammers opened their season at home to Aston Villa on Saturday 17 August at London Stadium, marking the beginning of what would prove to be a turbulent season for the East London club.

The fixture calendar holds particular significance for fans, broadcasters, and the club itself, as the 2024/25 Premier League season runs over 33 weekends, four midweek rounds and one Bank Holiday matchweek, concluding on Sunday 25 May 2025. These dates are essential for supporters planning trips to matches and coordinating their football commitments.

Key Fixtures Throughout the Season

The festive period traditionally represents one of the most demanding spells in the football calendar. West Ham United’s Premier League fixtures for December and January confirmed the Hammers would contest ten games over these two months, with six in December and four in January. This included hosting Brighton on December 21 and Liverpool on December 29 with a trip to Southampton sandwiched in between on Boxing Day.

Among the notable fixtures, Head Coach Lopetegui tackled his former club Wolverhampton Wanderers in Sky Sports’ Monday Night Football fixture at London Stadium on 9 December, whilst West Ham’s final home fixture of 2024 saw Liverpool visit London Stadium on Sunday 29 December for a 5.15pm kick-off.

Managerial Change Impacts Fixtures

The season took a dramatic turn in January 2025 when Manager Lopetegui was sacked on 8 January with West Ham in 14th position in the league table, having lost nine of 20 Premier League games. This led to Graham Potter being announced as West Ham United’s new head coach on 9 January, returning to management after 21 months away from the game.

Potter’s first match in charge was Friday’s trip to Aston Villa in the FA Cup third round, with his first Premier League match a London derby on Tuesday 14 January at home to Fulham. The managerial change added significant interest to upcoming fixtures as supporters hoped for improved performances.

Fixture Flexibility and Broadcasting

Modern football fixtures are subject to regular changes based on various factors. West Ham supporters must remain vigilant as broadcast selections can alter match times significantly. The club has advised that fixtures may be rescheduled depending on cup competition progress and television selections, with updates announced throughout the season.

For supporters planning attendance, the fixture list serves as an essential planning tool, though the provisional nature of some dates means checking official club channels regularly is vital. The combination of league fixtures, cup competitions, and potential European involvement makes fixture planning increasingly complex for both the club and its supporters.
