Statements on Relegation
That’s what West Ham posted after relegation was confirmed:
The confirmation of our relegation from the Premier League today marks a sad and painful moment for West Ham United.
The Club wishes to sincerely thank every single one of our supporters for the constant and loyal backing they have given, throughout what has been an extremely difficult and disappointing season.
Ultimately, we have not repaid that support. The plain truth is that we have not been good enough. We must now face the consequences of that failure with honesty, transparency and a determination to repair, refocus and rebuild.
West Ham United is a football club whose unique identity is defined not by success or failure on the pitch, but by the values and traditions of our roots in east London, and by the spirit of the people who have Claret and Blue in their hearts. The Club acknowledges how challenging this season has been for them and knows it must take steps to restore a sense of pride, faith and belief.
As we have done before, we will fight with everything we have to return to the top division of English football at the first time of asking. The hard work to make that goal a reality begins immediately.

EFL Championship 2026/27
Looking forward to Millwall and Wrexham, and some more London derbies (QPR and Charlton)…
By the way, the chance to get promoted will be greater than ever because the number of teams competing in the Sky Bet Championship Play-Offs will be expanded from four to six, starting in the 2026/27 season.
According to Wikipedia the English Football League Championship is the wealthiest non-top-flight football division in the world, the ninth-richest division in Europe and the 12th best-attended division in world football (with the second highest per-match attendance of any secondary league – after the German 2. Bundesliga). Its average match attendance for the 2022–23 season was 18,787.
