What channel is West Ham v Chelsea Premier League match on? TV coverage, live stream and kick-off time
Check out how to watch West Ham v Chelsea in the Premier League, including TV channel, radio coverage and kick-off time.
West Ham United and Chelsea renew their rivalry to kick off the second weekend of the 2025/26 Premier League.
The Hammers are back at the London Stadium after suffering a disappointing 3-0 defeat away at Sunderland in their opener – with pressure already building on Graham Potter.
Potter is struggling for popularity among the West Ham supporters and a result against the Blues could help to turn the tide.
Chelsea's season began in an anti-climactic goalless draw with Crystal Palace. The West Londoners dominated possession but barely troubled Dean Henderson and were fortunate to see Eberechi Eze's free-kick ruled out.
Enzo Maresca has promised that his side will improve as the season goes on and it would be no surprise to see them have more joy against West Ham on Friday evening.
