West Ham United will be looking to move further away from the Premier League bottom three when they make the short journey to the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday, May 2. The Hammers are desperate for points to secure their top-flight status, while Brentford aim to cement a top-half finish and push for European qualification.
Match Details: Kick-Off Time and Venue
The Premier League fixture is scheduled to kick off at 3pm BST on Saturday, May 2. As a traditional Saturday afternoon slot, it falls within the domestic television blackout period, meaning no live broadcast in the UK. The game will be played at the Gtech Community Stadium in West London, which holds 17,250 spectators and is expected to be packed for this crucial encounter.
UK TV Coverage and Live Stream
Due to the 3pm blackout rule, the match will not be shown live on any UK television channel.

There is no legal live stream available within the United Kingdom for this kick-off time.
