West Ham United U21s will travel to Brighton & Hove Albion in their 2024/25 Premier League 2 opener on Friday 16 August.
The young Hammers, under the guidance of lead coach Mark Robson, will take on the Seagulls at The Amex Elite Football Performance Centre, with kick-off set for 7pm, in their first of ten away games in the competition.
The U21s’ first home fixture will be played at Rush Green Stadium on Friday 23 August against Southampton, with kick-off set for 7pm, while a fixture against Middlesbrough scheduled for Friday 11 April 2024 will conclude the 2024/25 regular season.
The reformatted PL2 structure introduced last season sees the Hammers play 20 league fixtures, across the 26-team league – ten home games and ten away.
The top 16 will qualify for the Play-Offs which are set to take place in May, while a top 12 finish will confirm a spot in the 2025/26 Premier League International Cup.
