West Ham United currently boasts a UEFA club coefficient of 69.000, placing them 17th among 416 European teams and 6th among English Premier league clubs. At the top of the rankings sit Spanish giants Real Madrid, followed closely by Bayern Munich.
The Hammers’ impressive position stems largely from their recent exploits in European competitions—most notably their triumphant campaign in the 2022–23 UEFA Europa Conference League, where they lifted the trophy. However, with the club absent from European football for a second consecutive season, their coefficient may decline unless they secure qualification again.
Among Premier League sides, West Ham trails clubs such as Manchester City, Arsenal, and Liverpool, yet remains competitive—ranking above London rivals Tottenham Hotspur, who sit 31st in UEFA’s standings.
In the 2024–25 Premier League, West Ham finished 14th, collecting 43 points from 38 matches. Despite a -16 goal difference and a turbulent season under [Julen Lopetegui](https://www.claretandhugh.info/julen-lopetegui/) and later Graham Potter, they still ended the campaign ahead of both Tottenham and Manchester United.
Graham Potter faces a significant challenge as he seeks to replicate the European success achieved under David Moyes, who guided the club to continental competition in three separate seasons. Moyes’ tenure included a Europa League semi-final, a Europa Conference League title, and a Europa League quarter-final—a legacy Potter will be keen to match, starting with an away match at the Stadium of Light on Saturday 16th August!
