West Ham face Burnley on Championship return as Millwall dates set | OneFootball

Hammers are back in the English second tier after 15 years away

West Ham will take on Burnley in their first Championship game in 14 years.

The Hammers will begin their next campaign in English football’s second tier following their relegation from the Premier League.

West Ham are the biggest addition to the EFL in some time, swapping trips to Arsenal’s the Emirates Stadium to reuniting rivalries with Millwall at The Den.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s side will also be facing the likes of QPR, Charlton and Watford, and take on Wrexham in a league game for the first time since 1981.
