West Ham United host Derby County at the London Stadium on Saturday, 5 September, with kick-off at 3pm in what is an early-season EFL Championship fixture for both clubs.

The match will not be broadcast live on television in the United Kingdom. Because kick-off falls at 3pm, the game is subject to the long-standing domestic blackout restriction that prevents live coverage of Football League matches during that window.

Fans outside the UK, Ireland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland and Iceland will be able to watch via West Ham TV, the club’s own streaming platform. Those within those territories are blocked from accessing that coverage under existing broadcast agreements.

For supporters unable to attend in person, live audio commentary will be available on talkSPORT 2, which holds national radio rights for EFL fixtures.

The Championship fixture comes as West Ham look to rebuild following their relegation from the Premier League, with the club carrying cautious optimism into the second tier despite the scale of the task ahead.
