Four-match May schedule at Red Lion
We'll be at The Red Lion, 151 Bleecker St., for Brentford's final four matches of the season in May! Fortunately everything is on the weekend, too, starting with our May 2 fixture against a tough West Ham side that's fighting off relegation. Our season finale is on Sunday, May 24, at Liverpool. See the graphic for our full meet-up schedule.

A big thank you to Bruce and Sarah Muni for repping New Jersey and our NYC Bees to provide some color from the Premier League Fan Fest on April 18-19 in Tampa, Florida! They connected with local supporters and Brentford's impressive group: club ambassador Marcus Gayle, plus Fabio Carvalho and Antoni Milambo who juggled appearance duties and their ongoing rehab. Our result that weekend wasn't quite what we had hoped (scoreless draw against Fulham), but Brentford made the most of the stateside connection, whether it was the fan-favorite Michael Kayode/long throw-in station or the Q&A held at Shuffle. Tallahassee-based Bees supporter Reggie Grant wrote up a nice recap for Beesotted, and Atlanta's Michel Cowdery spoke with Across the Seas But Forever Bees to share his highlights.
Following our match against Manchester United at Old Trafford, NYC Bee Abhi Goyal hopped on the Across the Seas But Forever Bees podcast! He joined co-hosts Tim Searls and Greville Waterman after the Bees' hard-fought 2-1 loss to Man U. The group had an in-depth conversation about several of our players such as Kevin Schade, Reiss Nelson, and Josh Dasilva in his return to the bench, our European chances and more!
Brentford News & Notes
Valdimarsson signs extension: Backup goalkeeper Hakon Valdimarsson signed a new long-term contract on April 24 that keeps him with the Bees through the 2029-30 season. The 24-year-old Icelandic international has made 12 appearances for us in all competitions, and securing his services certainly is a promising move as he continues to serve a crucial -- not-so-glamorous -- role behind Caoimhin Kelleher.
Academy earns top status: The Brentford Academy has been awarded Category One status by the Premier League -- the highest level under the Elite Player Performance Plan -- just four years after reopening. Starting in 2026-27, the club will compete in Premier League 2 and the U18 Premier League. The club intends to continue to operate the Brentford B team.
Quick hits: In the London and South East Premier League, Brentford Women captain Maddie Phillips was named LSE Player of the Month for March, tallying three goals and an assist across all competitions for that stretch. ... In the latest episode of the Ultra World Podcast, co-host Sean Cassels took a moment to look back on the show's visit with the NYC Bees at The Red Lion, expressing his appreciation of the club and our fandom. Hopefully we'll see a return visit soon! ... The Premier League Fanzone program booked us for a sixth time this season to preview the Brentford road match against Manchester United. The show is broadcast live on Mondays and Fridays, on Peacock stateside. If you're interested in participating in their program next season, please let us know and we'd be happy to connect you to their production team!
