Simon Rolfes, managing director for sport, said of the draw: "I'm looking forward to it. West Ham have a stadium full of atmosphere, and now after Baku we have a short trip to London - which is also nice for our fans. We're playing against a good Premier League side, as we saw against Freiburg. It's going to be a difficult task but we got a feeling last season for what a semi-final in the Europa League means. We're going to give our all to get there."
West Ham finished top of Group A and beat SC Freiburg 5-1 on aggregate in the round of 16.
The first leg will take place in Leverkusen on Thursday 11 April, with the return leg a week later on Thursday 18 April in East London. Tickets for the home match will go on sale on 26 March. Ticket details for the away game will be announced in due course. Full details on the ticket sale procedures for both legs will follow on the club's channels.

A fresh look for the BayArena: The Bayer 04 stadium will have new seating in the form of folding seats for the 2026/27 campaign that will ensure significantly improved seating comfort and simplified movement within the rows of seats. As part of routine replacement after 17 years, fans of the Werkself were able to purchase the existing seats, used to witness the first German league title in the club's history. In addition, a large proportion of the seats will be donated to charitable projects, primarily in the local region. Bayer 04 fans can look forward to new, functional folding seats for the season opener at the beginning of August - still in the club colours of black and red, of course. A glimpse at the BayArena during the refurbishment.
