West Ham supporters hoping to watch Saturday’s Championship clash against West Bromwich Albion live have a new option through the club’s own streaming service, West Ham TV. The match kicks off at 3pm GMT on 31 October, with international supporters able to purchase a live video pass for £10.
However, there is an important catch for fans watching from Britain. The game will not be televised live in the UK, and West Ham TV’s video coverage is unavailable in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland and Iceland because of broadcasting rights restrictions.
The good news for eligible overseas supporters is that West Ham have made the process relatively straightforward. I’ve been using the streaming service myself this season and have been extremely impressed with it. It’s an excellent addition, particularly for supporters who previously struggled to watch Championship matches.

My Experience Of West Ham TV
Having used West Ham’s streaming service this season, I have to say I’ve been very impressed.
It’s an excellent service and a welcome addition for supporters who want to follow the Hammers throughout the Championship campaign.
At £10 for an individual match, it also provides an alternative to committing to a full monthly or seasonal subscription, provided you’re watching from a territory where the stream is available.
The geographical restrictions are frustrating, particularly for supporters in Britain, but those are the broadcast arrangements currently in place.
