West Ham United have confirmed the club will open its pre-season schedule with a fixture against Swiss Super League club Grasshopper Club Zürich later this month.
As widely publicised elsewhere, including on Grasshoppers' own website, Graham Potter's squad will begin their pre-season programme ahead of the 2025/26 Premier League campaign on Saturday 19 July in Zurich.
That game will follow a week's intensive training at an unnamed training camp in southern Germany, a short hop from the Swiss capital, with the squad flying out a week earlier (Saturday 12 July).
From there, the squad is scheduled to travel to the United States in order to participate in the 2025 Premier League Summer Series, which includes fixtures against Manchester United (Saturday 26 July, MetLife Stadium), Everton (Wednesday 30th July, Soldier Field) and finally Bournemouth (Sunday, 3rd August, Mercedes-Benz Stadium).
United's final fixture of pre-season will be the newly-named Boyle Sports Cup clash against French Ligue 1 side Lille at the London Olympic Stadium on Saturday, 9th August (a 3pm kick-off).
West Ham have been allocated the grand total of 150 tickets - that's 100 standing and 50 seated - for the Zurich friendly, which is being hosted at the club's 1,500-capacity stadium in in Niederhasli.
