Image circulates claiming to show the first game of the new season for West Ham and their rivals ahead of Premier League fixture list release.
West Ham and their 19 Premier League rivals will find out the 2023/24 season fixtures when they are announced on Thursday.
Next season’s fixture list will be released at 9am.
West Ham will find out the full calendar – which will be subject to change due to TV picks and the fact we are in the Europa League again.
The order of the 380 fixtures will be announced at that time, but the broadcasters will subsequently shuffle some of the days and kick-off times in each match round.

The Premier League has confirmed the season will start on Saturday, August 12, 2023, though the 2021-22 and the 2022-23 campaigns both kicked off with a Friday night fixture so the opening game could be on August 11.
West Ham fans will be looking out for the usual fixtures against rivals like Tottenham and Chelsea as well as champions Man City.
But there will also be many West Ham romantics looking out for that Luton away fixture and a trip to Kenilworth Road.
Whether West Ham will be playing at home first game and/or last game and on Boxing Day will also be one of the first ports of call for fans.
As usual ahead of the much-anticipated unveiling, there has been a supposed “leak”.
Cherries first up for Hammers?
An image is circulating claiming to show the first game of the season for West Ham and their rivals ahead of the Premier League fixture list release.
The picture – which many believe has been edited – claims the Hammers will travel to Bournemouth for the first fixture of the new campaign.
According to the image these are the Premier League Game Week 1 of 38 fixtures in full:
Bournemouth vs West Ham
Burnley vs Man City
Crystal Palace vs Chelsea
Everton vs Brentford
Fulham vs Arsenal
Luton vs Liverpool
Man United vs Brighton
Sheffield United vs Aston Villa
Tottenham vs Newcastle
Wolves vs Nottingham Forest
If accurate West Ham will fancy their chances having beaten Bournemouth 4-0 at the Vitality at the end of April.
Whether it is fake or genuine, it’s all part of the annual build-up to the fixture release.
Fans of West Ham and the other 19 clubs won’t have long to wait to find out if the information in the image is legitimate.
