This match has been confirmed by West Ham as a first team fixture, one of two games they will play that night as they split their squad across two matches to ensure as many of their players as possible get game time.

Admission details, including the free admission for 2020/21 season ticket holders, will be confirmed in due course.

"We are delighted to be able to welcome West Ham United to Sixfields," said chief executive James Whiting.

"West Ham enjoyed an excellent season and we can't think of a better pre-season game to be able to welcome supporters back to Sixfields with.
