West Ham United vs Brentford Competition – FA Cup Stadium: London Stadium Date: 9th March 2026 Kick-off time – 19:30 GMT
West Ham United host Brentford at the London Stadium on Monday 9th March 2026, with kick-off at 19:30 GMT in an FA Cup fifth-round tie that brings together two London Premier League clubs chasing a place in the last eight. West Ham come in off the back of a morale-boosting weekend result and will have the home advantage, but Brentford have a strong recent record in this fixture and arrive as a side more than capable of progressing on someone else’s ground. This London derby has all the ingredients for a compelling cup night.
West Ham head into this one in decent nick. Their most recent outing produced a 1-0 win away at Fulham on March 4th — a hard-fought west London derby victory that will have given the squad a real lift heading into this cup fixture. In their previous outing, they suffered a heavy 5-2 defeat away at Liverpool on February 28th, a result that served as a reality check after some encouraging form. Earlier, they drew 0-0 at home to AFC Bournemouth on February 21st. Their cup credentials were established with a 1-0 win away at Burton Albion on February 14th in the previous round, and before that they drew 1-1 at home to Manchester United on February 10th. Two wins, two draws and a defeat from the last five is a reasonable record, and winning away at Fulham most recently provides genuine momentum going into a home cup tie.
Brentford arrive having drawn their most recent outing, a goalless tie away at AFC Bournemouth on March 3rd — a point they will be reasonably satisfied with but not a performance to set pulses racing ahead of a knockout cup tie. In their previous match, they won 4-3 away at Burnley on February 28th, a high-scoring and entertaining away victory that underlines their attacking quality. Before that, they suffered a 2-0 home loss to Brighton & Hove Albion on February 21st. Their path to this round included a 1-0 win away at Macclesfield FC in the FA Cup on February 16th, and earlier they drew 1-1 at home to Arsenal on February 12th in the Premier League. Two wins, two draws and a loss mirrors West Ham’s form exactly — this is a genuinely evenly-matched contest on paper.
The head-to-head record in recent seasons strongly favours Brentford, who have won three of the last five meetings between these sides, with one draw and one West Ham victory. Brentford claimed back-to-back away wins at the London Stadium — 2-0 in October 2025 and 1-0 in February 2025 — which will be a source of real confidence for the visitors. West Ham’s only win in that sequence came at home, a 4-2 victory in February 2024. Brentford also won 3-2 at home in November 2023. The Bees have clearly had the upper hand in this fixture, and West Ham will need to find a way to reverse that trend in front of their own supporters on Monday night.
