|

Four West Ham games have been moved due to television coverage, the club have confirmed.

It is a major alteration to the fixture list, as the Hammers’ upcoming games against Wolves, Liverpool, Aston Villa and Spurs have all been moved.

The Hammers were due to play Wolves at the London Stadium on Saturday February 26th but the game has been moved to Sunday, and will kick off at 2pm.

The Irons’ game against Liverpool at Anfield will still be played on Saturday March 5th but has been moved from 3pm to 5:30pm.

The date for the Spurs game, however, is up in the air.

Per the statement, if neither club reaches the sixth round of the FA Cup, the game will be played on Sunday 20th March in north London in a 2pm kick-off. If either team does reach the quarter-finals, it will be rearranged.

All three of these games will air on television.

However, the game against Aston Villa has been moved due to West Ham’s participation in the Europa League knockout rounds, and will be played on Sunday 13th March at 2pm, after the first leg of the Round of 16 on the preceding Thursday. The Villa game will not be on television.
