Graham Potter’s first full season as Head Coach of West Ham begins with a trip to newly-promoted Sunderland in a Saturday 3pm kick-off.

The first home game of the season is a derby against Potter’s previous club Chelsea a week later.

In fact West Ham’s first four visitors to the London Stadium are all from the capital, with Crystal Palace, Spurs and Brentford their next three home matches. The first opponents from outside London will be Newcastle United on November 1.

The Hammers have another London derby for their home Christmas fixture, entertaining Fulham on December 27 before playing Potter’s other former Premier League club Brighton, also at home, on December 30.

They finish the season at the London Stadium on May 24 with Leeds United their opponents, a fixture they won 3-1 when the teams last played each other in 2023, also West Ham’s last home match of that season.
