West Ham United are on the plane to Australia for their pre-season tour under David Moyes in 2023. So here is everything you need to know about the Hammers’ schedule this summer.
The Irons announced in March 2023 that the Premier League club were heading down under for two friendlies in Perth. They delayed adding to their fixtures as West Ham went on to win the Europa Conference League. While their top-flight survival had also been in some doubt.
Moyes will hope to oversee a solid run of results during West Ham’s pre-season friendlies in 2023 to then have a more comfortable Premier League campaign in 2023/24. The Hammers only finished the 2022/23 season in 14th place and were just six points safe from relegation.
When does West Ham United’s pre-season start?
Moyes instructed the West Ham first-team squad to reconvene at Rush Green to start their pre-season training on July 6, 2023. It marked a later start date for the Irons’ players to last year when they regrouped on June 26. While their first friendly of 2023 followed on July 10.
West Ham United’s fixture list for their 2023 pre-season
As of June 28, West Ham United have announced six pre-season friendlies with two forming their 2023 tour of Australia. Moyes’ team will head down under in July to face A-League side Perth Glory. The Irons will also play a London derby with Tottenham Hotspur three days later.
Boreham Wood also helped West Ham start their pre-season plans in 2023 in a repeat of last year’s 1-1 draw. This time, the Hammers won 4-1 at Meadow Park with Danny Ings, Kamarai Swyer, Jarrod Bowen and Gideon Kodua scoring. West Ham then start their tour of Australia.
West Ham will also continue their pre-season plans upon returning to Europe with a further two away friendlies. The Irons will face another London outfit in Dagenham & Redbridge on July 22. They will then fly to France to face Ligue 1 club Stade Rennais for the very first time.
One final friendly for the summer will follow in Germany as West Ham round out their pre-season at Bayer Leverkusen. The Hammers will visit the BayArena natives managed by Xabi Alonso a week before the new Premier League season. They start the term at Bournemouth.
