What channel is Sunderland v West Ham Premier League match on? TV details and kick-off time
All you need to know about Sunderland v West Ham in the Premier League, including TV details, radio coverage and kick-off time.
The wait is over on Wearside. Premier League football returns to the Stadium of Light on Saturday as Sunderland host West Ham United on the opening weekend of the 2025/26 campaign.
The Black Cats beat Sheffield United in the Championship play-off final at Wembley in May to return to the top flight after eight years away. The focus now is on reestablishing themselves in the division.
A busy summer transfer window has bred confidence at Sunderland that Régis Le Bris can keep them up. That theory will be tested for the first time against the Hammers on Saturday.
West Ham are hoping a new season can bring fresh fortunes after Graham Potter struggled to turn the tide in East London following his appointment in January.
Potter has yet to win the full backing of Hammers fans, while an underwhelming window suggests he has his work cut out for him in 2025/26.
