Kick-off: Sunday 16 August 2026, 16:00 UK time at Turf Moor, Burnley.
Match preview
Turf Moor plays host to an intriguing Championship encounter as Burnley welcome West Ham for the latest chapter in their ongoing divisional rivalry. Recent history suggests the visitors hold the upper hand, having secured a 2-0 victory on this ground back in February 2026, which followed a narrow 3-2 success for the London club in November 2025.
Burnley will be eager to alter that recent dynamic in front of their own supporters. West Ham arrive knowing they have found a formula that works against the hosts in previous meetings, though reproducing those performances on Lancashire soil remains a fresh challenge.
