Cardiff City host West Ham United at Cardiff City Stadium on Wednesday, 4 November 2026, in Championship Gameweek 14, with kick-off scheduled for 7.45pm GMT.

How to Watch Cardiff City vs West Ham United Live Stream in the UK
Sky Sports+ will show Cardiff against West Ham live in the UK, with coverage beginning at 7.40pm GMT ahead of the 7.45pm kick-off. Bookmakers are also streaming this event online for eligible active customers. This option is strictly 18+. Geo-location restrictions and live-streaming terms apply, so check the provider’s current eligibility requirements before watching.
Sky Sports subscribers can find the fixture in the Sky Sports+ match menu, while NOW Sports members can watch the same broadcast through the streaming service. A qualifying sports package is required.
Wednesday’s EFL programme includes Wrexham against Middlesbrough at the same kick-off time, followed by Bristol City against Wolverhampton Wanderers at 8pm. Cardiff-West Ham has its own Sky Sports+ selection, so choose that match rather than relying on the main Sky Sports Football channel.
TV Info: What Channel Is Cardiff City vs West Ham United On?
Sky Sports+ is the UK TV channel for Cardiff against West Ham. Sky’s schedule places the game on its multi-match EFL service rather than Sky Sports Main Event or Sky Sports Football, which are showing Bristol City against Wolves later in the evening.
On compatible Sky television equipment, open Sky Sports+ and select Cardiff City versus West Ham United. The match is included in qualifying Sky Sports subscriptions, with NOW offering an alternative for people who don’t have a Sky TV contract.
The advertised 7.40pm programme start leaves five minutes before kick-off. That’s the time to have the correct fixture selected if you want to see the teams emerge at Cardiff City Stadium.

For Sky customers, the match-selection screen matters: the featured Bristol City-Wolves broadcast is a different fixture, despite sharing Wednesday’s Championship programme.

Watching Cardiff City vs West Ham United While Travelling
West Ham TV will stream the match internationally in eligible countries, with its coverage scheduled from around 7.30pm GMT. The club sells individual match video passes alongside longer membership options.
That club stream isn’t intended for viewers in the UK, Ireland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland or Iceland. Elsewhere, check the local viewing arrangements before purchasing a pass, as international coverage varies by country.
Live Audio, Highlights and Match Replay
West Ham will provide live audio commentary through the club’s website, with a paid audio pass required. BBC Radio London is also carrying local radio coverage in the UK.
After full-time, West Ham’s website and app will publish highlights, a match report and reaction. These shorter videos are separate from a complete replay of the game; a specific full-match replay time hasn’t been announced.
Manager Head-to-Head Stats
Cardiff head coach Brian Barry-Murphy has managed 280 career matches, recording 123 wins and averaging 1.54 points per game. His Cardiff record stands at 37 wins in 70 matches since July 2025.
Barry-Murphy previously coached Manchester City’s youth sides and Rochdale before taking the Cardiff job. His preferred formation is 4-2-3-1, while West Ham’s temporary management arrangement means there is no equivalent current-manager career record to compare.
Key Player Stats
West Ham’s Jarrod Bowen has recorded five Championship assists from 4.37 expected assists (xA). Cardiff’s Ollie Tanner has four assists, while Joel Bagan leads the Bluebirds’ featured players for expected assists at 3.48.
Expected assists estimate the quality of chances a player creates, rather than counting the assists awarded after goals. Cardiff’s five featured players have eight actual assists between them; West Ham’s five have 15.
Team Key Stats
West Ham have scored 33 goals in their opening 13 Championship matches, compared with Cardiff’s 19. The Bluebirds have averaged more possession, however, with 60.8% against the Hammers’ 57.5%.
Cardiff’s recent results include a 1-0 home victory over Birmingham City and a 5-1 win against Watford, followed by Saturday’s 3-0 defeat at Wolves. West Ham arrive in South Wales following successive defeats and a change in management.
Quick Facts
Cardiff manager Brian Barry-Murphy addressed West Ham’s managerial change ahead of the match, stressing that the identity of the visiting squad remained more important than the upheaval surrounding it.
