West Ham United have a stored founding year of 1895, with the London Borough of Newham their home location. Earlier honours include 3 FA Cups and the European Cup Winners' Cup. The European victory came in 1964/65. Detailed league coverage here begins at 1992/93, before West Ham's Premier League entry.
West Ham played their early Premier League seasons in this archive at the Boleyn Ground. Their opening Premier League campaign ended in 13th place, before later upper-half finishes. The rise continued to 5th, their highest league placing here.
Subsequent seasons moved between the top and bottom halves before relegation. A winless sequence marked the final campaign of that spell, covering 14 league matches, from October into January. West Ham finished 18th with 42 points.
A play-off win preceded the next Premier League return, which opened with a top-half finish. Later campaigns included further upper-half placings before a fall towards the bottom. Relegation followed the next year, when the club finished bottom.
Another play-off success preceded a return ending in 10th place. The last Boleyn Ground campaign later brought an unbeaten spring sequence and a higher league placing. London Stadium became home the following season.
David Moyes' later stored tenure included the club's highest points return in the archive. That campaign ended in 6th place with 65 points. The following campaign remained in the top half, with a smaller points total and a lower league placing than the preceding season. Its goal difference also remained positive, though below the earlier balance. A subsequent Conference League victory accompanied a lower-half league season.
Later managerial spells included Julen Lopetegui and Graham Potter before Nuno Espírito Santo took over. Their points return fell across the final campaigns, alongside lower league positions. West Ham's latest completed season was 2025/26, ending in 18th place and relegation.
