West Ham news: London Stadium ownership change confirmed as new name revealed
West Ham United’s home ground London Stadium has undergone major changes behind the scenes.
The Irons have been playing at the former Olympic Stadium for almost a decade, having officially moved there from Upton Park in 2016.
Playing at the London Stadium has been easy on West Ham’s pockets as it was built to host the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.
The Stadium was notably owned by E20 Stadium LLP, a body set up by the London Legacy Development Corporatoon (LLDC), but that is no longer the case.
London Stadium ownership has new name
West Ham’s home stadium will no longer be operating under the ownership of E20 Stadium LLP, according to Sean Whetstone.
The Hammers insider shared a Companies House document via his personal X account on Thursday (3 April), revealing that the London Stadium owners have changed their name to London Stadium LLP instead.
Whetstone added that the London Legacy Development Corporation does not own the ground from Thursday as the ownership has already been transferred to GLA Holdings Limited.
The GLA Holdings Limited is a fully-owned subsidiary of the Greater London Authority (GLA) and plans to change the ownership for a nominal sum of £1 was approved by London mayor Sadiq Khan in January.
E20 Stadium LLP is no more after today as the London Stadium owners changed their name to London Stadium LLP at companies' house in documents filed online.

West Ham to remain unaffected
David Sullivan will not to be bothered about this news as it is unlikely to affect West Ham, at least for now.
| Team | Date |
| Bournemouth | 05 April 2025 |
| Southampton | 19 April 2025 |
| Tottenham | 03 May 2025 |
| Nottingham Forest | 18 May 2025 |
The behind-the-scenes changes at the London Stadium do not impact the East London’s operation in any manner and they will continue playing there, as they have in the last nine years.
It remains to be seen if these differences will mean anything to the Hammers in the long run.
For now, Graham Potter and Co. can focus on picking up as many points as possible in front of their own fans at the London Stadium.
They host Bournemouth in E20 next, with the Cherries traveling there on Saturday (5 April).
