Leeds United face West Ham Sunday

West Ham United and Leeds United meet at London Stadium on Sunday, May 24, in the final round of the 2025/26 Premier League season, with kickoff set for 4 p.m. BST. The fixture is listed on the Premier League’s official match page and on both clubs’ official websites as part of Matchweek 38. Leeds supporters on X spent the hours before kickoff circulating match graphics and countdown posts, including one fan account that called the image “the greatest in football history.” The game arrives with more at stake for West Ham than for Leeds. West Ham’s official pre-match briefing said the club started the day 18th in the table on 36 points, two behind 17th-place Tottenham Hotspur. The club said only a home win over Leeds, combined with a Tottenham defeat against Everton, would keep West Ham in the top flight. ### Why are Leeds fans posting so much about this game? Leeds United supporters on X treated the fixture as a final-day event rather than a routine away match. One widely shared post ahead of kickoff showed a Leeds-versus-West Ham match graphic and described it as “the greatest in football history,” reflecting the kind of gallows humor and end-of-season hype that often builds around final-day fixtures. The social reaction matches the calendar. Leeds’ official ticket notice for away supporters, published on April 30, confirmed the match as the club’s final-day Premier League trip to West Ham on Sunday, May 24, with kickoff scheduled for 4 p.m. ### What do the official listings say about kickoff and venue? The Premier League’s match information page lists West Ham United versus Leeds United for Sunday, May 24, 2026, at London Stadium in London. The page gives the kickoff time as 08:00 in U.S. Eastern time, which corresponds to 4 p.m. BST in Britain. West Ham’s ticket page and “All You Need To Know” preview also list the match at London Stadium at 4 p.m. BST. Leeds’ match centre and ticket page carry the same date, opponent and kickoff time. ### Why is West Ham’s position the bigger part of the story? West Ham entered the day in the relegation zone. The club’s official preview said the Hammers were 18th and needed to beat Leeds to have any chance of avoiding relegation to the Championship. The same West Ham preview said Tottenham’s home match against Everton would determine whether a West Ham win could change the table. Jarrod Bowen told the club website before the match that the team had to “leave it all out there,” framing the afternoon as the last chance of the campaign. ### What do the recent results look like for the two teams? Leeds’ official match centre showed the club in 14th place before kickoff with 47 points from 37 matches. West Ham were listed 18th with 36 points from 37 games. The Premier League’s West Ham fixtures page showed the Hammers coming in off three straight league defeats: 3-0 at Brentford on May 2, 1-0 at home to Arsenal on May 10, and 3-1 at Newcastle United on May 17. Leeds’ match centre listed the clubs’ earlier league meeting at Elland Road on Oct. 24, 2025, and an FA Cup tie at London Stadium on April 5, 2026. ### Where can fans follow what happens next? The Premier League’s official match page, West Ham’s match coverage and Leeds United’s match centre all list live information for the game on Sunday afternoon. The other key fixture tied to West Ham’s survival hopes is Tottenham Hotspur against Everton, also scheduled for the final-day 4 p.m. BST window.
