West Ham Women October Fixtures

West Ham United Women have learned the dates, kick-off times and broadcast details for their October Women’s Super League fixtures, with trips to Crystal Palace and Brighton & Hove Albion among the games affected. Rita Guarino’s side will also host Chelsea live on Sky Sports at the start of the month.

The Barclays WSL has now confirmed its broadcast selections for rounds five to eight of the 2026/27 season, covering fixtures from the first weekend of October through to 1 November.

For West Ham, that brings clarity to three league fixtures during October and the following home game against Liverpool.

West Ham Women October fixtures confirmed

West Ham’s October WSL schedule now reads:

West Ham vs Chelsea — Sunday 4 October, 2pm
Crystal Palace vs West Ham — Sunday 18 October, 12pm
Brighton vs West Ham — Saturday 24 October, 5.15pm

All three fixtures will be shown live on Sky Sports.

The Chelsea fixture at Victoria Road was already scheduled for Sunday 4 October, but its 2pm kick-off and Sky Sports selection have now been formally confirmed. West Ham’s official Chelsea ticket page also confirms tickets go on general sale at 11am on Tuesday 8 September.

The more significant changes concern West Ham’s two away games later in the month.

Crystal Palace trip moved to midday

West Ham’s visit to Crystal Palace will now kick off at 12pm on Sunday 18 October.

The fixture had previously been listed for 2pm, but the latest broadcast selections have moved it into an earlier Sky Sports slot.

The game will take place at the VBS Community Stadium in Sutton.

It will be another London derby for a West Ham side already tested by Tottenham on the opening weekend.

Guarino’s team began the season with a 3-1 defeat away to Spurs, although Deadline Day arrival Saki Kumagai provided one encouraging sign with an immediate contribution from the bench.

Brighton fixture moved to Saturday evening

The biggest change involves the trip to Brighton.

That match will now take place on Saturday 24 October at 5.15pm, rather than its previous Sunday slot.

Sky Sports will also broadcast the fixture live.

It gives West Ham an unusual Saturday evening WSL assignment at the Amex Stadium and forms part of a demanding period which also includes Subway Players Cup fixtures against London City Lionesses and Charlton Athletic.

The WSL has additionally confirmed that West Ham’s next league game after October, at home to Liverpool on Sunday 1 November at 2pm, will be available on Sky Sports and the BWSL YouTube channel.

West Ham’s rebuilt squad will therefore feature prominently on television through the opening months of Guarino’s first full season.

After ten summer additions and the appointment of Katie Zelem as captain, the fixtures will give supporters plenty of opportunities to assess how quickly the new-look side develops.
