West Ham relegated from Premier League after season of despair
West Ham’s 3-0 win over Leeds was not enough as Tottenham’s 1-0 victory over Everton left the Hammers two points from safety.
- On Sunday, May 24, 2026, West Ham United were relegated from the Premier League for the first time in 15 years, despite a 3-0 victory over Leeds United, after Tottenham Hotspur defeated Everton 1-0.
- The club's 14-year top-flight run ended following a turbulent campaign featuring managerial changes from Graham Potter to Nuno Espírito Santo, with a 10-game winless streak sealing their fate.
- Financial instability looms, with the club posting a £104.2m loss last year, likely forcing player sales including captain Jarrod Bowen and midfielder Mateus Fernandes, the club's most valuable assets.
- Tottenham Hotspur narrowly avoided the drop, finishing 17th after manager Roberto De Zerbi's late-season revival, while former West Ham boss David Moyes could not assist his former club as Everton struggled.
- West Ham will compete in the Championship for the 2026/27 season, aiming for a quick return as they did in 2003 and 2011, though protests against joint-chair David Sullivan and the departure of vice-chair Baroness Brady create further uncertainty.
