All you need to know to watch Burnley vs West Ham:

  • UK viewing info: Fans in the UK can watch Burnley's Championship opener against West Ham at 4pm on Sunday live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Football. For those who prefer to stream the action online, the match will be available via Sky Go for subscribers, or the NOW TV platform if that's how you access the action.
  • Radio coverage: If you prefer to listen to the match, live UK radio coverage will be broadcast exclusively on talkSPORT 2. Additionally, live audio commentary can be purchased and streamed directly through West Ham's official club website.
  • Head-to-head: In terms of their recent head-to-head record, West Ham boast a clear advantage with three victories in their last four meetings. Burnley have struggled to find answers against the Hammers during this span but hope to turn the tide under new manager Nicky Hayen after he joined from Genk in the summer.
  • Last meeting: Their last previous encounter took place at Turf Moor on February 7, while both clubs were still competing in the Premier League. West Ham secured a comfortable 2-0 away victory that afternoon thanks to early goals from Crysencio Summerville and Valentin Castellanos.
  • Team news: West Ham will be without midfield veteran Tomas Soucek and Keiber Lamadrid, who completed a permanent move to the club this summer following a six-month loan. Burnley, meanwhile, are sweating on the fitness of Connor Roberts and Jaydon Banel, while Josh Cullen and Jordan Beyer are set to sit this one out.
  • Sky's Essential TV and Sky Sports bundle includes at least 215 live Premier League clashes across the 2026/27 season, with more than 1,500 games from the EFL and beyond, plus F1, golf and darts.

    This introductory offer saves £384 compared to the standard price, with every package also providing 100 regular channels alongside free Netflix and discovery+ subscriptions.
