West Ham and Bournemouth Face Off in Decisive Summer Series Clash
If you're looking for an exciting preseason showdown, then today’s match between West Ham United and Bournemouth is one you won’t want to miss. It’s part of the Premier League’s Summer Series taking place at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, and both teams are coming in with one win and one loss under their belts—meaning this clash could decide who still has a shot at taking home the title.
Let’s start with Bournemouth. Andoni Iraola’s side kicked off their U.S. tour strong, comfortably beating Everton 3-0. It was the kind of start that had fans hopeful. But that momentum didn’t last long. In their next outing, they were outplayed and beaten 4-1 by Manchester United in Chicago. It was a tough reality check, and questions were raised about how the team would bounce back.

On the flip side, West Ham had a bit of a reverse trajectory. They narrowly lost their opener to Manchester United 2-1 but bounced back with a 2-1 win over Everton. That comeback showed some real grit, especially from the forward line, which has now been given a boost with the signing of former Bournemouth striker Callum Wilson. There’s definitely a bit of drama there—Wilson now has the chance to face his former club almost immediately.
What makes this game even more intriguing is what’s at stake. Both teams are tied in points and goal difference, sitting just behind Manchester United. A win today is crucial. If either West Ham or Bournemouth manage to take all three points—and if Manchester United slip up against Everton later tonight—there’s a chance the trophy could be theirs. It’s a long shot, sure, but that’s what makes football fun.
Kickoff is at 2 p.m. Eastern, and you can catch it live on NBC or stream it via Peacock, DIRECTV, or fuboTV—most offering free trials if you’re not already subscribed. So there’s really no excuse to miss it if you're a fan.
This match isn't just about points or standings—it’s also a test of character. For Bournemouth, it’s about proving that their early win wasn’t just a fluke. For West Ham, it’s about showing that their recent rebuild under Graham Potter is heading in the right direction. With attacking options refreshed and the pressure on, all eyes will be on Atlanta to see who steps up and who slips.
