It was West Ham's 22nd Premier League campaign overall, their 60th top flight appearance in their 123rd year in existence, and their second in the London Stadium. The club were unable to play any games at the stadium until September, allowing for the time to convert it back to a football stadium following the 2017 World Championships in Athletics in August 2017. Aside of the Premier League, West Ham United took part in the FA Cup and League Cup, entering at the third round in the FA Cup and the second round in the EFL Cup.

West Ham then travelled to Germany, where they faced Werder Bremen in a two-legged tie over two days for the Betway Cup which they lost, 3-2 on aggregate, followed by a friendly with Altona 93 on 1 August. West Ham then flew to Iceland to take on fellow Premier League side Manchester City in Reykjavík. In March 2018, with a break in Premier League action due to FA Cup and international games, the club travelled to financially struggling Dagenham & Redbridge for a fundraising game.
