U21s National League Cup fixtures

Dates confirmed for U21s' National League Cup campaign

Dates for all four of West Ham United U21s' 2025/26 National League Cup Group C fixtures have now been confirmed.

Mark Robson’s side will be looking to go one better this season after narrowly missing out on the knockout stages in the competition’s inaugural year. The young Hammers recorded two wins and two defeats last term, heading into the final group match with qualification in their own hands before a narrow loss to Dagenham & Redbridge saw them miss out on the quarter-finals by just a single point.

The 2025/26 campaign begins with a trip to Laithwaite Community Stadium to face Woking on Wednesday 13 August. Tickets for this fixture range from £3 to £8 and are available via the Woking website.

Following the October international break, the Hammers travel to Gander Green Lane to take on last season’s finalists Sutton United on Tuesday 21 October, a side they beat 2-0 in last year’s competition.

A long journey to Cornwall awaits on Tuesday 25 November when they face newly-promoted Truro City at Truro Sports Hub, before rounding off the group stage away to Aldershot Town at The EBB Stadium on Tuesday 9 December.

Should the U21s progress, the quarter-finals are scheduled for 27-28 January, the semi-finals for 17-18 February, and the final will take place on either Tuesday 17 March or Wednesday 18 March.
