Preview | U21s kick off 2025/26 campaign at Woking in National League Cup

Woking v West Ham United U21s

National League Cup, Group C, Laithwaite Community Stadium, Wednesday 13 August 2025, 7pm BST

After seven pre-season fixtures, West Ham United U21s are ready to kick off the competitive 2025/26 campaign with a National League Cup tie away to Woking.

The young Hammers narrowly missed out on the knockout stages in the inaugural edition of the competition last season, with two wins and two defeats leaving them a single point short of the quarter-finals.

This time, they will be looking to go one better in Group C, where they face Woking, Aldershot Town, Sutton United, and newly promoted Truro City. Fellow Premier League 2 sides Brighton & Hove Albion, Fulham, and Southampton will also be vying for one of the two top qualification spots.
