The 2017–18 season is West Ham United's sixth campaign in the Premier League since being promoted in the 2011–12 season. It is West Ham's 22nd Premier League campaign overall and their 60th top flight appearance in their 123rd year in existence,[1] and their second in the London Stadium. The club will not be able to play any games at the stadium until September allowing for the time to convert it back to a football stadium following the 2017 World Championships in Athletics in August 2017.[2]

As well as competing in the Premier League, West Ham United will take part in the FA Cup and League Cup, entering at the third round in the FA Cup and the second round in the EFL Cup.
