West Ham started the season on 17 August with a home game against Aston Villa. Amadou Onana scored a headed goal for Aston Villa in the fourth minute but Lucas Paquetá equalised with a penalty in the 37th minute after Tomáš Souček had been fouled by Matty Cash. In the 79th minute, Jhon Durán, who had been the subject of a possible transfer to West Ham, scored to make it 2–1 to Aston Villa, the final score.[5][6]

The first away game of the season, at Crystal Palace's Selhurst Park was played on 24 August. West Ham won 2–0 with goals form Tomáš Souček in the 67th minute and Jarrod Bowen in the 72nd minute.[7]

West Ham entered the EFL Cup in the second round, and were drawn at home to Bournemouth.[8][9] West Ham scored with a controversial "hand ball" goal from Jarrod Bowen in the 88th minute which won the game.[10] West Ham advanced through the third round, where they were drawn away to Liverpool's Anfield.[11]

On 31 August West Ham were at home to reigning champions, Manchester City. Erling Haaland put City 1–0 up after 10 minutes. West Ham equalised on 19 minutes when Rúben Dias deflected the ball into his own net from a Jarrod Bowen cross. Haaland added additional goals in the 30th and 83rd minutes as City won 3–1.[12]

September

Following a week's break for international matches, West Ham returned to action on 14 September, playing Fulham at Craven Cottage in the Premier League. Raúl Jiménez put the hosts 1–0 up on 24 minutes. The score remained the same until the 95th minute when Danny Ings, on as an 82nd minute substitute for Edson Álvarez, scored to make it 1–1, the final score.[13] On 21 September, West Ham were at home in the Premier League to Chelsea. The visitors scored twice in the first-half with goals from Nicolas Jackson in the 4th and 18th minutes. They added a third in the 47th minute through Cole Palmer. The game finished 3–0 to Chelsea. West Ham's performance was described as "lacklustre" as they lost their first three home league games for the first time in their 129 year history.[14]

On 25 September, West Ham travelled to Anfield to play Liverpool in an EFL Cup third round match. West Ham took the lead on 21 minutes when Jarell Quansah scored an own goal. Their lead lasted only four minutes before Diogo Jota equalised with a header. He added a second in the 49th minute. Liverpool brought on Mohamed Salah for Federico Chiesa in the 59th minute and Salah's goal made in 3–1 in the 74th minute.

Liverpool added two goals late on through Cody Gakpo to make the final score 5–1, the same score as in the previous season.[15]

The Gtech Community Stadium hosted West Ham on 28 September as they played Brentford in the Premier League. Bryan Mbeumo scored for Brentford after only 40 seconds. Tomas Soucek scored in the 54th minute to make it 1–1, the final score.[16]

October

On 5 October, West Ham returned at home in the Premier League for their match against Ipswich Town. Michail Antonio opened the scoresheet in the first minute for West Ham, before Liam Delap equalized for Ipswich Town in the 6th minute. 37 minutes later, Mohammed Kudus scored his first goal in the 2024–25 season for West Ham with a header. Bowen and Paquetá added to the scoreline for West Ham to conclude the match with a 4–1 win, their first home win of the season.[17] Their 13 shots on target in the match was their most in a Premier League game since this statistic was first recorded, in the 2003–04 season.[18]

On 19 October, West Ham travelled to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for a Premier League game against Tottenham Hotspur. Mohammed Kudus scored for West Ham in the 18th minute but Dejan Kulusevski equalised in the 36th minute, his shot hitting both posts before going in.

In the 85th minute, Kudus was sent off after a VAR review, for pushing both Pape Matar Sarr and Micky van de Ven in the face. The game finished 4–1 leaving West Ham in 15th place in the league.[19] Both West Ham and Tottenham were later charged with failing to control their players after a scuffle broke out following Kudus’ dismissal. Kudus was charged with improper conduct for an incident after he was sent off. On 23 October, Tottenham admitted the offence and were fined £20,000.[20] In November, Kudus was given an additional two-match suspension and fined £60,000. West Ham were fined £30,000.[21]

Returning to the London Stadium on 27 October, West Ham played Manchester United in the Premier League. After Manchester United had missed several goalscoring opportunities, Crysencio Summerville opened scoring for the hosts in the 74th minute. Casemiro equalised in the 81st minute. In added time West Ham were awarded a controversial penalty following a foul on Danny Ings. After a pitchside review as recommended by VAR, referee David Coote confirmed the penalty decision and in the third minute of added time Jarrod Bowen converted the spot kick to make it 2–1, the final score. The following day, Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag was sacked.[22][23]

On 61 minutes, Bilal El Khannouss added a second with Patson Daka scoring a third in the 90th minute. Niclas Füllkrug pulled one back, his first for the club, for West Ham in the third minute of added time. This was only a consolation goal as the game ended 3–1.[29] A portion of the travelling West Ham supporters turned on manager Julen Lopetegui, jeering in his direction towards the end of the game.[30] West Ham played Wolverhampton Wanderers on 9 December in the Premier League at the London Stadium. After a goalless first-half, Tomáš Souček put West Ham ahead on 54 minutes with a header from a corner. Wolves equalised on 69 minutes through Matt Doherty.

In his time as manager, West Ham lost nine of 20 Premier League games.[39] On 9 January Graham Potter was appointed as head coach signing a two–and–a–half year contract.[40] Potter's first game in charge was on 10 January, an FA Cup third round game against Aston Villa at Villa Park. Lucas Paquetá scored after nine minutes to put West Ham 1–0 up, the score at half–time. Amadou Onana equalised on 71 minutes and Morgan Rogers put Villa 2–1 up four minutes later. The game ended 2–1 as West Ham exited the 2024–25 FA Cup.[41]

Crystal Palace were the visitors to the London Stadium on 18 January in the Premier League. After a quiet first half, Jean-Philippe Mateta opened the scoring in the 48th minute with a low strike from outside the box.

The second–half introduction of Pedro Neto sparked Chelsea to life and on 64 minutes he made the score 1–1 after he followed up Enzo Fernández's blocked shot. On 74 minutes Cole Palmer's footwork saw him open up space on the left of the box, his shot hitting Aaron Wan-Bissaka and going over 'keeper Areola to make it 2–1 to Chelsea, the final score.[45]

Rules for classification: 1) Points; 2) Goal difference; 3) Goals scored; 4) If the champions, relegated teams or qualified teams for UEFA competitions cannot be determined by rules 1 to 3, rules 4.1 to 4.3 are applied – 4.1) Points gained in head-to-head record between such teams; 4.2) Away goals scored in head-to-head record between such teams; 4.3) Play-offs[123]
Notes:
  1. Since the winners of the 2024–25 EFL Cup, Newcastle United, qualified for the Champions League via league position, the spot reserved for the EFL Cup winners (Conference League play-off round) was initially passed to the 7th-placed team (Nottingham Forest). However due to multi-club ownership rules, the winners of the FA Cup, Crystal Palace, were not permitted to enter the Europa League and entered the Conference League play-off round instead, with Nottingham Forest taking their place in the Europa League.[121] Crystal Palace appealed the decision but this was ultimately rejected.[122]
