A Pictorial History
2026-27 Premier League
Manager: Nuno Espiroto Santo
Note:
Players in BOLD made their debuts for West Ham United
The 2026/27 EFL Championship campaign will consist of 46 matchdays, with all 24 competing teams playing each other home and away.
At the end of the season, the top two teams and the winner of the Play-Offs will be promoted to the Premier League, and the bottom three teams will be relegated to EFL League One.
This will be the first season following the expansion of the Play-Offs, from four teams to six. The sides that finish in third and fourth will go straight into the Play-Off semi-finals, while a one-legged quarter-final round will be played with fifth at home to eighth, and sixth hosting seventh. The semi-finals will be played over two legs, before the one-off final at Wembley Stadium.
In the EFL Cup first round, West Ham will be joined by the winners of two preliminary-round ties and the other 67 EFL clubs. The preliminary round is required due to the participation of nine Premier League clubs in European competition during 2026/27. It is set to be contested by the clubs who finished 21st and 22nd in last season’s EFL League Two (Tranmere Rovers and Crawley Town respectively), and the two newly-promoted sides from the National League (York City and Rochdale). York have been drawn to play Crawley, while Tranmere will take on Rochdale.

West Ham overturned a shaky start to reach the Carabao Cup second round, beating Portsmouth 3–1 before a record first‑round crowd of 53,369 at London Stadium. Taty Castellanos struck twice and Jarrod Bowen added another as the Hammers recovered from going behind to Adrian Segečić’s deflected opener.
Pompey briefly threatened an upset, with Rocco Shein testing Mads Hermansen, but once West Ham found their rhythm the tie swung sharply. A slick move on 43 minutes - Orford and Scarles combining to free Mohamadou Kanté, whose burst and cross gave Taty his first - ignited the comeback. Moments later Scarles kept a loose ball alive, Pablo Felipe drove forward, and Bowen’s first‑time effort clipped Conor Shaughnessy to wrongfoot Nicolas Schmid for 2–1.
West Ham tightened their grip immediately after the restart. Kyle Walker‑Peters released Bowen down the right and the captain’s whipped cross was buried by Taty’s thumping header. Portsmouth rallied in flashes - Segečić twice denied, Marezi heading wide - but never truly threatened to undo the damage.
At the other end Pablo, Walker‑Peters and Bowen all went close to adding gloss, yet the job was already done. A shaky opening, a ruthless response, and West Ham marched on.
