What time is kick off West Ham v Man Utd?
Current match date and kick-off time
The Premier League midweek fixture between West Ham United and Manchester United is scheduled for Tuesday, 10 February 2026 at 20:15 GMT (8:15 PM UK time). The match takes place at London Stadium in London. This date and time have been confirmed by broadcasters and the Premier League calendar (Goal.com).
Time zone conversions
For international viewers, the 20:15 GMT kick-off converts to 15:15 ET (Eastern Time) and 12:15 PT (Pacific Time) in the United States, 21:15 CET in mainland Europe, and 06:15 AEDT (next day) in Australia. Always double-check local listings as daylight saving variations may apply (HITC).
For West Ham fans adjusting their routines around a relegation six-pointer, the late 20:15 kick-off means a long build-up of tension. For United supporters following from North America, the early afternoon start in ET is a rare chance to catch a full Premier League match without staying up past midnight.
The implication: time zone conversion adds a layer of complexity for international audiences, but the global appeal of the fixture ensures worldwide viewership.
What channel is the Man game on?
UK TV broadcasters
- TNT Sports 1 (formerly BT Sport) holds exclusive UK live broadcast rights for the February 2026 Premier League fixture. Subscribers can stream via the TNT Sports app and Discovery+ (Radio Times).
US streaming options
- USA Network (cable TV) and Peacock (streaming) will carry the match live in the United States. No MUTV broadcast is available for this league fixture (HITC).
International broadcasters
- Overseas viewers should check local Premier League rights holders. In Canada, the match airs on fuboTV; in Australia, it will be on Optus Sport. For a full list, the Premier League’s official broadcaster page provides the most up-to-date channels.
TNT Sports has become the go-to for Premier League midweek action in the UK, but its subscription cost is an additional burden for casual fans. Peacock’s relatively low monthly fee makes it the more accessible option for US viewers.
What did Ruben Amorim say?
Pre-match press conference quotes
As of mid-February 2026, Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has not yet held his pre-match press conference ahead of the West Ham fixture. His public comments will likely come on Monday 9 February, where he is expected to address team news, injuries, and tactical approach. According to HITC, Amorim has been rotating his squad effectively during the congested winter schedule, and the West Ham match may see returns of key players after minor knocks.
Injury updates
No confirmed injury list has been published yet. However, Manchester United’s squad depth has been tested by a busy run of fixtures. West Ham manager Graham Potter (if still in charge) will be desperate for positive news on his sidelined defenders. The lineups will be confirmed approximately one hour before kick-off.
The pattern: pre-match uncertainty often leads to cautious approaches, especially when both teams have contrasting objectives.
Was Casemiro offside?
Casemiro’s disallowed goal incident
In the recent 1-1 draw between these sides on 4 December 2025 at Old Trafford, Manchester United midfielder Casemiro had a goal disallowed for offside. The Brazilian’s close-range finish was ruled out after a VAR review, sparking debate about the accuracy of the call. The incident remains a talking point among fans and pundits (Goal.com).
VAR decision explanation
The offside threshold was tight — replays showed Casemiro’s shoulder marginally ahead of the last defender. Under the current interpretation, the decision was technically correct, though many argued for a “clear and obvious” standard. This has reignited the broader discourse on VAR’s role in match outcomes.
Marginal offside calls like Casemiro’s are the new normal. In a relegation battle where every point counts, West Ham will hope technology remains their ally; United will rue the fine margins.
Who did Man U lose 7-0 to?
Liverpool 7-0 Manchester United (March 2023)
Manchester United’s heaviest defeat in the modern era came at the hands of their fiercest rivals Liverpool, who thrashed them 7-0 at Anfield on 5 March 2023. That result remains a low point for United, symbolising the gulf in form at the time (Goal.com).
Other heavy defeats in Man Utd history
- 9-0 vs Southampton (2 February 2021) – the biggest win in United’s Premier League history, not a defeat.
- 6-1 vs Manchester City (23 October 2011) – a notable derby thrashing.
- The 7-0 loss to Liverpool is the joint-heaviest defeat United have suffered in the Premier League era, tied with a 7-0 loss to Blackburn Rovers in 1926 (pre-PL).
The implication: those heavy defeats are outliers in a generally successful period, but they underline that even top-four sides can collapse under pressure — a warning for United as they face a motivated West Ham.
Which club has never lost a game when they lead at halftime?
Manchester United’s record when leading at half-time
According to Premier League data, Manchester United have never lost a league match when leading at half-time — a record that spans hundreds of games. The statistic is a testament to their ability to manage games from winning positions, though it faces constant testing (Goal.com).
Premier League statistics
Only one other Premier League side, Arsenal, can claim a similar unbeaten record when leading at the break, though the sample sizes differ. For Manchester United, the streak adds an extra layer of confidence when they go in front — but West Ham will be aware that breaking that streak would be another historic notch.
What this means: if United score first, the odds shift heavily in their favour. West Ham’s best chance may be an early goal to silence the record books.

The pattern: West Ham have transformed from easy beats to genuine irritants for Manchester United in recent seasons. For a side fighting relegation, that psychological edge — along with home advantage at London Stadium — could be the difference between a point and nothing. For United, it’s a reminder that past record means little when the table is tight.
