West Ham United Women will continue their preparations for the 2026/27 Barclays Women’s Super League season with a pre-season fixture against Aston Villa at Keys Park on Sunday 30 August. Rita Guarino’s side are set to face their fellow opponents in Hednesford, with kick-off scheduled for 2pm as the Hammers fine-tune their preparations ahead of the new campaign. The match will offer supporters another opportunity to see West Ham’s refreshed squad in action, including the Club’s nine summer arrivals, just one week before competitive football returns. Details regarding ticket sales and supporter information for the fixture will be announced in due course. The two teams last met towards the end of the 2025/26 season, when West Ham claimed a 2-0 victory on the road at Villa Park. Goals from Riko Ueki and Seraina Piubel secured all three points on the Hammers’ final away trip of the campaign. Following the friendly encounter, West Ham will turn their attention to the opening weekend of the new Barclays Women’s Super League season, which begins with a London derby away to Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday 6 September. Kick-off is set for 12 noon as the Hammers look to start the campaign on a positive note. * Something to say about this story? Please visit the KUMB Forum to leave a comment.
