FLW lists the players who will leave the Baggies at the end of the season.
West Brom will be hopeful of securing their Championship status under Eric Ramsay, in what has been a disastrous campaign.
The Baggies are in real danger of dropping through the League One trapdoor, with these coming months crucial to the club gaining stability after a rocky period of struggles both on and off the pitch.
While Albion have tried to revamp the squad under Bilkul, the team struggled to get consistent results under Ryan Mason, which led to the former Tottenham Hotspur and Hull City midfielder being sacked in January 2026 - winning nine of his 27 games in charge.
And so far the change in the dugout to Ramsay has done little to inspire confidence in the dressing room either, with Albion needing a spark from somewhere to arrest the slide and get them pushing up the Championship standings in the coming weeks and months.
West Brom will be desperate not to add to the list of big clubs that have fallen from the heady heights of the Premier League into the third-tier, with relegation so damaging for a team that should have aspirations of getting back to the big time instead.
Whichever division Albion play in come the end of the season, there are a number of first-team players who will depart The Hawthorns at the end of their contracts.
FLW details the players who are all but set to leave Albion this coming summer, with all statistics used for contracts coming from Transfermarkt.

Daryl Dike is the first player out of contract, with Albion supporters deeply frustrated by his injury troubles during his stay.
Joining for a reported £7m fee from Orlando City back in 2021, Dike’s opening season for Albion saw him make just two appearances, as a hamstring injury on his home debut against Peterborough United ruled him out for the remainder of the term.
Heading into 2022-23 under Steve Bruce, the American international was sidelined for 19 games with a thigh injury, before earning his longest run of playing time in an Albion shirt under Carlos Corberan, featuring in 22 consecutive games and scoring seven goals in the process.
But over that and the following season, Dike suffered two gut-wrenching Achilles tendon ruptures, meaning he didn’t make a consistent return to action until February 2025, with Tony Mowbray at the helm.
While he has managed to keep himself fit for the majority of the 2025-26 campaign, opportunities have been limited for the frontman, and after playing a total number of games for West Brom in five seasons that you would expect to see in one or two, it seems very likely that the club will part ways with the forward.

Equally, striker Josh Maja has had his fair share of injury troubles since linking up at The Hawthorns.
Maja originally joined Albion in the summer of 2023 on a free transfer following his departure from French outfit Bordeaux, but would feature just 12 times as two serious ankle injuries played a major part in scuppering his debut term.
He would return the following season under Carlos Corberan fit and firing, with the Nigerian international netting 12 times in 26 appearances before lower leg surgery ruled him out for the remainder of the season. Maja’s absence was significantly felt as he remained Albion’s top scorer for that season despite being ruled out of action since January.
This season, Maja has continued to build up his fitness but has showed no signs of returning to being the clinical frontman shown over 12 months ago, with his inability to get back firing meaning it's likely he will depart the club in the summer.

Karlan Grant is entering his sixth and most likely final season as a West Brom player, with the contract he signed in 2020 running down next summer.
Since joining from Huddersfield Town following Albion’s promotion back to the Premier League, Grant has largely underwhelmed during his time in the West Midlands, with his only impressive scoring season coming in 2021-22 when he netted 18 times.
Apart from that term, the 28-year-old has been unable to reach double figures for goals in a campaign, with some of his Albion stint involving a loan out to Cardiff City in the second-tier.
Grant has recently been ruled out for three months following hamstring surgery, so that injury could be what paves his exit from The Hawthorns.

Next up is club captain Jed Wallace, who has failed to live up to the hype he originally built when joining from Millwall on a free transfer.
After registering 37 goals and 39 assists in over 200 second-tier appearances at the Den, there was so much optimism that Wallace could be the key to getting Albion free-scoring and potent in the final third.
But Wallace has been unable to get into the double figures for goals or assists throughout his time at the club, with his best return coming in his debut campaign when he notched six goals and eight assists.
2024-25’s tally of just a solitary goal and an assist epitomised the decline, while injuries have crept in, which is making it increasingly difficult to see him returning to his best.
Again, it seems another deal that isn’t going to work out on the pitch, but Wallace has at least been some help to the playing squad with his leadership qualities.

Midfielder Ousmane Diakite is another player who could leave West Brom after this season, with the Mali midfielder sturggling to lock down down a regular starting spot in the engine room during his time in the blue and white stripes.
Playing in the number six position, Diakite has largely been introduced from the bench to protect leads with his commanding frame and physicality.
He is far from a flashy player, but Diakite has usually impressed when handed opportunities in the heart of the midfield. The club do hold the option of extending his contract by an extra year, so it will be interesting to see whether the club triggers it later down the line.

Shot-stopper Joe Wildsmith's contract at West Brom runs down this summer, and he’s a figure the majority of Albion supporters will be happy to see the back of.
The ex-Derby County man failed to fill the gaping hole left by Alex Palmer’s departure to Ipswich Town at the turn of 2025, with a series of costly mistakes against the likes of Burnley and Sunderland saw him last just 10 games, as Josh Griffiths grabbed his spot as the Baggies’ play-off hopes faded away.
In 2025-26, Wildsmith was originally second choice, but was recalled back into the starting lineup in December following some poor showings from Griffiths.
But that change in goal lasted just seven games itself, with Wildsmith failing to be a calm and assured figure to help the Baggies backline.
And the individual mistakes kept on cropping up at crucial times too, which has led to the club loaning him out to Middlesbrough for the remainder of the 2025-26 campaign.
After his loan spell at Boro runs down, he is expected to become a free agent and depart The Hawthorns.

The final player who could well be leaving West Brom in the summer is goalkeeper Max O'Leary, who only joined the club from Bristol City during the January transfer window.
After goalkeeping woes this season for Albion, the new Baggies number one has been tasked with instilling some confidence into the defence, but it didn't go according to plan on his debut at Derby County when he dropped the ball from a simple cross and allowed Patrick Ageymang to sweep the ball into an empty net.
There is hope in the stands at The Hawthorns that no mistakes like that will happen again, but he will be expected to be very busy in the Albion goal as the club wrestles with its Championship future.
