The Crystal Palace F.C. vs West Ham timeline became pivotal in the 2025-26 Premier League relegation battle.
The match kicked off at 8pm BST on Monday, 20 April 2026, at Selhurst Park in south London.
Crystal Palace vs West Ham ended goalless, with both defences dominant throughout a cagey ninety minutes.
The result was Crystal Palace’s sixth goalless draw of the Premier League season, the most by any side in a single campaign since Newcastle United in 2022-23.
It also marked West Ham’s second successive clean sheet, a feat the club had not achieved since February 2025.
Crucially, results elsewhere on the same day confirmed Wolverhampton Wanderers’ relegation from the Premier League, while West Ham moved back to a two-point advantage over Tottenham in the survival fight.
