West Ham United are looking to return to the Premier League following their shock relegation to the Championship. Read on for all the latest odds for the Hammers.
West Ham odds to win the 2026/27 Championship: Outright odds and predictions
West Ham are the current 2/1 favourites to win the Championship this season, which is hardly surprising given they boast the likes of Jarrod Bowen and Taty Castellanos.
However, their odds will lengthen dramatically if they don’t improve soon, taking just one point from their opening two matches.
West Ham odds to be promoted from the 2026/27 Championship: Outright odds and predictions
As is the case with winning the Championship, West Ham are the favourites to be promoted this season at 8/13, which is an implied probability of 61.9%. Their closest challengers are tipped to be the likes of Wolves, Middlesbrough and Southampton.
| Team | Betvictor odds | Implied probability |
|---|---|---|
| West Ham | 8/13 | 61.9% |
| Wolverhampton | 11/8 | 42.1% |
| Middlesbrough | 2/1 | 33.3% |
| Southampton | 11/4 | 26.7% |
| Burnley | 7/2 | 22.2% |
| Millwall | 7/2 | 22.2% |
| Birmingham | 9/2 | 18.2% |
| Norwich | 6/1 | 14.3% |
| Wrexham | 6/1 | 14.3% |
| Sheffield United | 7/1 | 12.5% |
West Ham odds to finish in the 2026/27 Championship top six: Outright odds and predictions
Of course, finishing in the top two isn’t the only route to the Premier League, with the teams in third to sixth contesting the Championship Playoffs at the end of the regular season. The Hammers have won promotion twice this way before, back in 2005 and 2012 — beating Preston North End and Blackpool, respectively.
The bookies make West Ham a 1/5 bet to at least make the top six, though supporters will obviously hope their run back to the top-flight is a little smoother.
| Team | Betvictor odds | Implied probability |
|---|---|---|
| West Ham | 1/5 | 83.3% |
| Wolverhampton | 1/3 | 75.0% |
| Middlesbrough | 4/6 | 60.0% |
| Southampton | 4/5 | 55.6% |
| Burnley | 5/6 | 54.5% |
| Birmingham | 11/8 | 42.1% |
| Millwall | 13/8 | 38.1% |
| Wrexham | 9/4 | 30.8% |
| Norwich | 11/4 | 26.7% |
| Swansea City | 4/1 | 20.0% |
West Ham top goalscorer odds: Outright odds and predictions
Jarrod Bowen surprised many by staying at the London Stadium, rather than seeking out an immediate return to the Premier League with another club. The England international is the second-favourite to finish as the Championship top scorer this season, behind only Middlesbrough’s Will Lankshear. However, Bowen is still awaiting his first league goal of the season.
West Ham ins and outs
West Ham’s biggest piece of business could be keeping hold of Bowen. However, they have been busy, with the likes of Mateus Fernandes, Crysencio Summerville and Aaron Wan-Bissaka leaving and Joel Piroe, Arne Engels and Manor Solomon coming in.
