Albion are excited to welcome supporters back to The Hawthorns for Saturday’s Sky Bet Championship clash with Stoke City (ko 3.01pm).

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 fun inflatable challenges put on by the Albion Foundation, live football on the big screen - Derby County's clash with Ipswich Town at Pride Park (ko 12.31pm) - and live music from Tom from West Brom.

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 can make the most of 20% off Macron range products in-store and online until midnight on Sunday, 8 February.

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 in place.

Live football will be shown on the screens – the Premier League encounter between Newcastle United and Brentford at St James' Park (ko 5.30pm).

Performer Tom from West Brom will also be in attendance, playing live music.

Feeling peckish after 90 minutes? 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.

Kick-off time shifted to highlight power of life-saving CPR

Thirty-six EFL fixtures, from the 5-9 February, across all three EFL divisions, are set to kick off one minute later than scheduled, as a stark reminder that every minute matters when it comes to performing life-saving CPR.

The kick-off times are designed to raise awareness of Sky Bet and the British Heart Foundation’s transformative Every Minute Matters campaign, which, with the support of the EFL, has already inspired over 400,000 people to start learning CPR since the campaign launched in May 2024.

This February is Heart Month, and Sky Bet, the BHF and the EFL are on a mission to mobilise football fans across the nation, as the campaign aims to get half a million people to save hearts all over the UK by starting to learn CPR by the end of the month.

Throughout February, Sky Bet and BHF’s Every Minute Matters campaign will be calling on fans to step up and learn CPR using the BHF’s free, simple and easy-to-use online tool, RevivR. Fans can search ‘BHF RevivR’ or visit revivr.bhf.org.uk/efl.
