On 8 August 2019, Pereira joined West Bromwich Albion on an initial season-long loan with a view to a permanent move.{{cite web|url=https://www.wba.co.uk/news/2019/august/pereira-signs-for-the-baggies/|title=Pereira signs for the Baggies|publisher=West Bromwich Albion F.C.|date=8 August 2019|access-date=8 August 2019}} He scored his first goal in the Championship on 28 September, in a 2–0 away win against Queens Park Rangers.{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49778242|title=Queens Park Rangers 0–2 West Bromwich Albion|publisher=BBC Sport|date=28 September 2019|access-date=30 September 2019}}

On 20 June 2020, after the player had appeared in the required number of matches, a buyout clause was triggered, obligating the club into Pereira’s purchase.{{cite news|url=https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/matheus-pereira-transfer-west-brom-18458784|title=West Brom trigger Matheus Pereira clause to confirm permanent signing|newspaper=Birmingham Mail|first=Joseph|last=Chapman|date=20 June 2020|access-date=17 July 2020}} The following month, he won the Supporters’ Player of the Season award after collecting 65% of the votes.{{cite web|url=https://www.wba.co.uk/news/2020/july/pereira-picks-up-ideal-boilers-supporters-player-of-the-season-award/|title=Pereira picks up Ideal Boilers Supporters' Player of the Season award|publisher=West Bromwich Albion F.C.|date=30 July 2020|access-date=30 July 2020}}

Despite the buyout clause being met months earlier, it took until 17 August 2020 for Pereira to be officially announced as an Albion player, eventually signing a four-year contract.{{cite web|url=https://www.wba.co.uk/news/pereira-pens-permanent-deal-hawthorns|title=Pereira pens permanent deal at The Hawthorns|publisher=West Bromwich Albion F.C.|date=17 August 2020|access-date=17 August 2020}} To ensure the player’s focus remained on the field, the board decided to leave the negotiations until after the season had ended.{{cite news|url=https://www.expressandstar.com/top-stories/sport/2020/08/17/matheus-pereira-signs-four-year-deal-with-west-brom/|title=Matheus Pereira signs four year deal with West Brom|newspaper=Express & Star|first=Joseph|last=Masi|date=17 August 2020|access-date=20 August 2020}}

On 3 April 2021, Pereira scored a brace in first-half stoppage time in an eventual 5–2 win at Chelsea; this sealed Albion's first victory at Stamford Bridge since 1978, and handed Thomas Tuchel his first loss as the opposition's head coach.{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/56546577|title=Chelsea 2–5 West Brom: Baggies thump five past 10-man Blues|publisher=BBC Sport|first=Saj|last=Chowdhury|date=3 April 2021|access-date=3 April 2021}} On 9 May, his tenth goal of the season – becoming the first club player to get on double digits since Saido Berahino in 2014–15 – amounted to nothing because his team lost 3–1 at Arsenal and confirmed their relegation.{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/56960423|title=Arsenal 3–1 West Bromwich Albion: Baggies relegated after defeat|publisher=BBC Sport|first=Alex|last=Bysouth|date=9 May 2021|access-date=9 May 2021}}
