This article was updated on 17 September 2026 to confirm the latest broadcast and ticketing details ahead of West Ham United’s home Championship fixture with Charlton Athletic. It expands on our original match details guide with confirmed radio and streaming arrangements. As the club continues the recent supporter crest consultation process off the pitch, focus this week turns firmly to matchday arrangements at London Stadium.
Match summary and updated fixture details
West Ham United host Charlton Athletic at London Stadium on Saturday 22 August 2026. It is Nuno Espírito Santo’s first home Championship fixture of the 2026/27 season, with kick-off set for 3pm BST.
Supporters returning to London Stadium for the opening home game will hope for something close to a memorable opening day performance as the Hammers begin their Championship campaign on home soil.
Is West Ham vs Charlton Athletic on TV?
No, West Ham vs Charlton Athletic has not been selected for live television coverage on Sky Sports in the UK. Supporters without a ticket for London Stadium will need to follow the match through radio or club audio channels instead.
There is no indication in the current broadcast schedule that this will change before kick-off. Fans should treat the fixture as one to follow rather than watch live on a UK television channel this weekend.
Radio commentary and streaming options
talkSPORT 2 will carry live radio commentary from London Stadium, giving supporters full audio coverage of the match as it happens. This remains the most complete way to follow the game away from the ground.
West Ham TV also offers live audio commentary for men’s first-team matches, including this fixture. Video streaming through West Ham TV is not available to supporters based in the UK or Ireland, so those at home should rely on talkSPORT 2 or the club’s own audio feed rather than searching for a video stream.
Ticket news and upcoming Championship fixtures
Tickets for the Charlton Athletic match remain available through West Ham’s official channels and the club’s Ticket Exchange. Supporters who cannot attend Saturday’s game, or who want to plan further ahead, have two more home fixtures to look out for in September.
Wolverhampton Wanderers and Derby County are both scheduled to visit London Stadium early next month. Fans are encouraged to check official West Ham channels and the Ticket Exchange for availability across all three home fixtures rather than assuming any single match is unavailable.
What happens next for Nuno Espírito Santo’s side
Saturday’s game against Charlton Athletic follows West Ham’s opening league fixture away at Burnley. It comes before what is currently the club’s next away trip, at Watford on 29 August.
That sequence gives Nuno Espírito Santo an early look at how his squad handles a quick turnaround between a Championship away day, a first home game of the season, and another trip on the road soon after. For now, the confirmed facts are straightforward. There is no live UK television coverage for the Charlton match, full radio commentary on talkSPORT 2, and audio-only coverage on West Ham TV. Tickets remain on general sale through official club channels ahead of a busy opening month of Championship football.
