No. West Ham United have never won the Premier League. Their best finish was 5th in 1998/99, and they were relegated after finishing 18th in 2025/26, so they are not in the 2026/27 Premier League.
Where West Ham stand in Premier League history
Only 7 clubs have won the Premier League, and West Ham are not one of them. Their place in the competition's history is that of a long-standing participant rather than a title winner.
| Item | Result |
|---|---|
| Premier League title | No |
| Best finish | 5th in 1998/99 |
| All-time Premier League rank | 10th |
That makes the headline answer simple. West Ham have had strong seasons and a long presence in the league, but they have never finished on top.
West Ham's Premier League spells
The club's Premier League history falls into distinct spells, and each one ended with relegation.
| Spell | Seasons | Length | How it ended |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1993/94–2002/03 | 10 | Relegated (18th, 42 points) |
| 2 | 2005/06–2010/11 | 6 | Relegated (20th, 33 points) |
| 3 | 2012/13–2025/26 | 14 | Relegated (18th, 39 points) |
Each of those spells began with promotion.
The league's structure matters here as well. The bottom 3 clubs are relegated and replaced by 3 promoted clubs, which is why West Ham dropped out after their most recent campaign.
The record across all Premier League seasons
Across the full Premier League era, West Ham have built a substantial body of work.
| Played | Won | Drawn | Lost | Goals for | Goals against | Points | All-time rank | Goal difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1148 | 381 | 289 | 478 | 1,429 | 1,685 | 1,432 | 10th | -256 |
Those totals show a club with real longevity in the competition. At the same time, the overall record also shows why there is no title season to point to: the history is deep, but it is marked by fluctuation rather than a run to first place.
As of the 2026/27 club list, West Ham are not among the Premier League's 20 teams. They finished 18th out of 20 clubs in 2025/26 and were relegated at the end of that season.
