Albion are excited to welcome supporters back to The Hawthorns for Saturday’s Sky Bet Championship clash with Oxford United (ko 3pm).
There are plenty of activities to enjoy both before and after the contest.
The Fan Zone will open from midday until 2.45pm. Supporters of both clubs with a valid match ticket are welcome to attend for free.
A wide range of entertainment will be on offer in the Fan Zone including opportunities to grab the perfect selfie with mascots Baggie Bird and Boiler Man, face painters on site from Cheeky Gorgeous and fun inflatable challenges put on by the Albion Foundation.
Best Fun will provide a football shootout speed cage activity. Supporters can test their skills with both a skill shot at the target and a power kick into the cage. Albion Foundation staff will keep track of the fastest kick of the day and the winner will be contacted by the club. The fastest kick will win a signed copy of FC26 (Xbox or PS5). Terms and conditions can be found here.
There’s live football on the big screen. Blackburn Rovers take on Derby County at Ewood Park in the second tier, with that particular battle beginning at 12.30pm. DJ Funkomatic, meanwhile, will be providing the live music in the Fan Zone this weekend.
Fans can take advantage of plenty of food and drink options and purchase Baggies merchandise – including all three 2025/26 replica kits - at the retail wardrobes.
The club shop will be open from 9am until kick-off, before reopening after the final whistle for a further 30 minutes. Supporters are reminded they can claim 20% off 2025/26 third shirts until midnight on Sunday, November 9 both online and in-store. Click here for more information.
Junior shirts will be reduced to £35.99, with ladies and adult short-sleeve shirts available for only £47.99. A limited number of long-sleeve shirts will be available for £51.99.
Baggies fans and Oxford fans can also pick up a poppy from one of the stalls.
After full time, supporters with a valid match ticket from all stands are invited to visit the post-match bar which is situated in the middle of the East Stand and can be accessed via gate 12. New TVs and lightning have been installed this season, with benches and tables also be in place.
Live football will be shown on the screens – the Premier League encounter between Sunderland and Arsenal at the Stadium of Light (ko 5.30pm).
Performer Tom from West Brom will also be in attendance, playing live music.
Feeling peckish after 90 minutes of cheering on the Baggies? Discounted food will be available while stocks last.
The post-match bar will open immediately following the final whistle and will remain open until the conclusion of the 5.30pm game. It will be open for all weekend lunchtime or afternoon kick-offs, but will not operate after night games.
Enjoy your day and come on you Baggies!
Albion’s game against Oxford United has been selected as the club’s annual dedicated home remembrance fixture.
The Baggies host The U’s on Saturday and a number of activities are planned to mark the occasion.
Before the match, “Blind Dave” Heeley - in full uniform as His Majesty’s Deputy Lieutenant of West Midlands - and three soldiers will lead the teams out through a guard of honour by the Sea Cadets.
All players, staff and fans from both sides are then set to observe a period of silence after the Last Post is played, while each captain will place a wreath in the centre circle.
At the half-time interval, there will be two special presentations. The cap for former player Harold White, who played as Albion’s right-back in the late 1930s and went on to become a member of the SAS, will be given to his daughter.
And “Blind Dave” is also due to present the cap of another ex-Baggie, Harold Bache, to the club. Dave carried the former centre forward’s cap when he cycled the Western Front last year - a story supporters can read more about here.
Finally, a poppy-decorated version of Albion News - the club’s matchday programme - will be available for supporters to purchase at the stadium or online.
Poppy Shirts
Ryan Mason’s men will wear poppy-adorned shirts during their two fixtures against Charlton and Oxford this week.
Both sets will be available for supporters to bid on via Match Worn Shirt here, with proceeds going to the Royal British Legion.
Owing to essential maintenance works, Birmingham Road End turnstile E1 will be closed for Saturday’s fixture.
Supporters can enter the Birmingham Road End Stand via turnstiles E2-E16. Fans are advised to arrive slightly earlier than usual to avoid queues at turnstiles.
Thank you for your cooperation.
