Stream Bournemouth vs. West Ham in the Premier League Today: Free Online Access for the Match
The final match of the 2025 Premier League Summer Series takes place on Sunday, August 3, at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia. In a significant development, West Ham United midfielder Lucas Paquetá has been cleared of all spot-fixing charges by the FA following a two-year investigation.
The Regulatory Commission found that the four alleged breaches related to intentionally getting booked to influence betting markets were not proven. However, Paquetá was found guilty of two minor breaches for failing to answer questions and provide information as required by FA rules during the investigation. The sanction for these failures to comply will be decided at a later date.
Paquetá was charged with breaches of FA Rule E5 related to the integrity of matches and competitions in May 2024. The charges against him involved four separate games between November 2022 and August 2023. The full reasons for the verdict have not yet been published.
The match between AFC Bournemouth and West Ham United, which Paquetá will be eligible to play, kicks off at 2 p.m. ET. The game will be broadcast on NBC and can be streamed live on DirecTV, fuboTV, Hulu + Live TV, and Peacock. The second clash of the day features Manchester United vs. Everton at 5 p.m. ET, which will be exclusively on Peacock.
This outcome brings an end to what was potentially a major Premier League corruption scandal and allows Paquetá to maintain his innocence on the serious spot-fixing allegations. The FA's investigation, which was the longest in its history, has finally reached a conclusion.
After the conclusion of the FA's lengthy investigation, West Ham United's Lucas Paquetá has been cleared of all major spot-fixing charges in the Premier League. On the contrary, he was found guilty of minor infractions for withholding information, with the specific sanctions to be determined later. In the upcoming Premier League Summer Series, Paquetá's next game will be on August 3, against AFC Bournemouth as his football career continues unscathed amidst prior allegations.
