Sunderland and West Ham United will take the pitch on Saturday, August 16th, at the Stadium of Light.
After a short layoff, the 2025-26 season of the English Premier League is officially upon us, and all 20 clubs are set to play their opening matches this week.
West Ham finished in 14th place in the standings last season and will look to improve this time around. While they avoided relegation by a solid margin, they would like to move up into the upper half of the standings this year.
Sunderland returns to the Premier League for the first time in eight years, and is hoping to stick around this time. They moved up after defeating Sheffield United in a championship playoff final, joining Leeds and Burnley as the three clubs to secure promotion.
This is a great Premier League matchup that you will not want to miss; make sure to tune in and catch all the action.
