Head-to-head record
Previous meetings: 63
Brighton wins: 22
Draws: 22
West Ham wins: 19
Brighton & Hove Albion and West Ham United have faced each other a total of 63 times across all competitions, and it is the Seagulls who narrowly lead the overall head-to-head record having posted 22 wins to the Hammers' 19, while there have also been 22 draws played out between the two clubs.
Their very first meeting took place back in October 1903 when Brighton secured a 3-2 home victory over West Ham in the Southern League First Division.
Another 23 encounters between these two sides followed in the Southern League First Division up until 1914, with Brighton posting a record of eight wins, nine draws and six defeats against West Ham.
Across the next two decades, West Ham required two replays to get the better of Brighton in the FA Cup, winning a second-round tie 1-0 in 1923 and a fifth-round tie by the same scoreline in 1933. The Hammers have progressed from four of their five FA Cup ties against the Seagulls overall.
Between 1978 and 1991, Brighton and West Ham butted heads 10 times between the old Divisions One and Two, with both teams winning four games each and drawing two.
Four meetings in the Championship followed in 2004-05 and 2011-12, with Brighton accumulating seven points from a possible 12 available, most notably thrashing West Ham 6-0 at home in April 2012 - their biggest-ever win over the Hammers.
In the Premier League, Brighton and West Ham have faced each other 16 times and the Hammers have only come out on top once, winning 3-1 at the Amex Stadium in August 2023.
The Seagulls initially enjoyed a 12-game unbeaten run against West Ham (W6 D6), and then failed to win three games in a row (D2 L1), before securing a 3-2 home victory in April 2025.
