West Ham United can confirm the Club’s first three fixtures on the restart of the 2019/20 Premier League season.
Premier League Shareholders agreed on 28 May to a new provisional restart date for the 2019/20 season of Wednesday 17 June, provided that all safety requirements are in place.
After two outstanding games involving EFL Cup finalists Aston Villa and Manchester City are played on Wednesday 17 June, a full match round will begin on Friday 19 June. Due to COVID-19, games will take place without supporters present.
Premier League Shareholders also approved a proposal that would see all 92 remaining matches broadcast live in the UK by the League’s existing broadcast partners: Sky Sports, BT Sport, BBC Sport and Amazon Prime. BBC Radio 5 Live and talkSPORT will also provide live radio commentaries for all the remaining matches.
West Ham will return to action with the visit of Wolverhampton Wanderers to London Stadium on Saturday 20 June, with kick-off at 5.30pm.
David Moyes’ squad then will make the short trip to Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday 23 June, with kick-off at 8.15pm.
Thirdly, Chelsea will visit London Stadium on Wednesday 1 July at 8.15pm. The Irons will not have a fixture over the weekend of 27/28 June due to Chelsea’s participation in the Emirates FA Cup quarter-finals.
All three fixtures will be broadcast live in the UK by Sky Sports and across the world by the Premier League’s international broadcast partners.
Everyone in the West Ham United family shares the huge disappointment that you, our loyal Hammers fans, will not be able to give your passionate backing to the team in person at London Stadium and on our travels, but you are at the heart of our thinking and we are working to ensure you will get the most from the experience of supporting the team again even though it is not in person.
Dates and kick-off times for West Ham’s final six fixtures of the 2019/20 Premier League season will be confirmed in due course.
