Newcastle vs. West Ham: Head-to-head record and past meetings before Premier League fixture

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 147

Draws: 41

West Ham United and Newcastle United did battle in November 2025, with the former emerging as victors at the London Stadium, winning 3-1 despite trailing after just four minutes.

However, the Magpies exacted revenge in the reverse fixture at St James' Park in May 2026, easing to a 3-1 victory in the penultimate game of the 2025-26 league season.

Nick Woltemade and William Osula struck early for Eddie Howe’s side before Osula completed his brace shortly after the hour mark, while Valentin Castellanos netted a stunning consolation for the Hammers in a result that left the London club staring relegation in the face.

Despite Newcastle holding the superior head-to-head record, the gap between the two clubs remains relatively narrow, with the Magpies winning 61 of their 147 meetings compared to West Ham’s 45 victories, while 41 encounters have ended level.

The 2022-23 Conference League winners were on a five-match winless run against Newcastle prior to the 2024-25 season, but they snapped that sequence in eye-catching fashion with a 2-0 victory at St James' Park.

Goals from Tomas Soucek and Aaron Wan-Bissaka took down the Magpies that day, as West Ham avenged their enthralling loss to Eddie Howe's side at the same stadium several months beforehand, a 4-3 thriller in March 2024.

On that day, the Irons found themselves 3-1 to the good before falling victim to an astounding Newcastle fightback, as three goals in the final 15 minutes from Alexander Isak and Harvey Barnes (2) saw the Magpies edge that seven-goal spectacular.

Howe's side also won big at the London Stadium in April 2023 as they demolished David Moyes's West Ham 5-1, and after their slender capital win in 2025, they have only been defeated in one of their last seven Premier League away games against the Irons since a 2-0 loss under Rafael Benitez in 2019.

Remarkably, Newcastle and West Ham have not met in a knockout competition since the 1914-15 FA Cup, where the Magpies prevailed 3-2 in a first-round replay, as they have met exclusively in league football for the past 110 years.

However, the record victory in this fixture belongs to the London club, who obliterated Newcastle 8-1 in a First Division match in April 1986, while the Magpies' biggest success was a 5-0 Premier League home win in January 2011.
