West Ham United's August and September fixture changes revealed
Six West Ham United fixtures in August and September have new dates and kick-off times after the latest round of broadcast selections was confirmed.
With the season opener against Manchester City on Sunday 7 August already selected for live broadcast in the UK by Sky Sports, our first away game – at Nottingham Forest the following weekend – will also be shown on Sky Sports.
The trip to the City Ground will now take place on Sunday 14 August, with kick-off at 2pm.
Our home game against Brighton & Hove Albion will move to Sunday 21 August, and our away game at Aston Villa is set for Sunday 28 August, with both games kicking-off at 2pm.
Neither will be broadcast live in the UK, but have moved to their new slots due to our participation in the UEFA Europa Conference League Play-Off Round on the preceding Thursdays.
Next, our first London derby of the new season – at home to Tottenham Hotspur – will be played on Wednesday 31 August, with kick-off at 7.45pm. This match will be broadcast live in the UK by BT Sport.
Into September, and our trip across the capital to face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge is now scheduled for 2pm on Sunday 4 September. Sky Sports will show this game live in the UK, although the date does remain subject to change should Chelsea’s UEFA Champions League game the following midweek be set for the Tuesday.
The London Stadium fixture against Newcastle United has also been chosen for live UK broadcast by Sky Sports and will be played at 2pm on Sunday 11 September.
Finally, should we progress to the UEFA Europa Conference League Group Stage, our trip to Everton, currently scheduled for Saturday 17 September, would also move.

Sunday kick offs are so much better. Saturdays are busier days and if we lose it pisses me off for the whole weekend.

As in the original post the first scheduled Saturday 3pm (away at Everton Sept 17) is likely to move to Sunday as Matchday 2 of the Europa Conf is Thursday 15th
Sat Oct 1st v Wolves at home is likely to be our first Sat 3pm & Bournemouth at home Oct 22 the second.
2 in the first 3 months of the season .... subject to tv moving either of those.

The usual non-response on these threads, odd how no one seems to give a fuck when our games are played.
Have to agree with Swiss, I prefer Sunday games too, can relax watch the Saturday games (if not shopping) and don't wake up Sunday morning with the hump.

Sundays and late kick offs suit me best these days.
If im going to a game which is very rare then give me the 3pm Saturday every time, if for nothing else old time sake and reminiscing of a world gone by and of my youth!
Used to be a whole ritual on Saturdays with the build up to the game, Morning newspapers, then football focus on TV was the starter, a bite to eat then a few pints before kick off wondering if the match of the day cameras would be present, back then no one knew which games would be featured so seeing the cameras meant it was worth coming home early from the Pub especially if we won! No replays or watch it on demand back then although when the video machine came out you could, just hoped my dad hadn’t fallen asleep so not reordered it.
Fuck me how different it was back then; every game was at 3pm on Saturday.

Crossed - Fwiw, that's not even logical. So you have no preference whatsoever on when you prefer to go to games, just because you go to every game?

Manuel,
WHU is my priority. We could kick off at 4am on a Monday morning and I’ll be there with bells on.

Saturday, 3 p.m. kick-offs are a legacy from when society decided that it's factories opened Saturday mornings, and men made their way to the ground after clocking off at 12/1 p.m.
I doubt that any football fan does a 5 1/2 day week these days so the main reason for retaining a 3 p.m. start to a game is purely a romantic one.

Mike,
You lead a sheltered life if you don't think anyone works on a Saturday morning these days, regardless of what other days they also work.

Where are the factories these people still work in that provide the majority of fans attending a game at the local ground?
