Brighton host Arsenal at the Amex Stadium on Saturday, 19 September 2026, with the Gunners arriving as reigning Premier League champions after finally ending a wait of more than two decades. And they have picked up exactly where they left off, winning their four matches so far in this campaign, conceding just once. Nevertheless, Brighton also started the season with the right foot, going into this match in fifth place, scoring 14 goals in their four games, which demonstrates their attacking prowess under Fabian Hürzeler. This fixture sets up a real chance to test themselves against the best team in the country.
This meeting has become one of the more intriguing fixtures on the calendar since Brighton's return to the top flight in 2017. The Seagulls have been something of a bogey side for Arsenal at times, winning both meetings in 2019-20 and knocking the Gunners out of the EFL Cup in 2022-23 — even if recent head-to-head results have swung back in Arsenal's favour.
Head-to-Head Record
There have now been 34 competitive meetings between these two clubs, with Arsenal holding the overall edge: 19 wins to Brighton's 8, leaving 7 draws. The Premier League record is a little tighter, with Arsenal having won half of the matches -11 out of 22-, while Brighton have taken 6, and 5 have been drawn.
Brighton's finest hour against Arsenal remains their 3-0 win at the Emirates in May 2023, a result that badly damaged the Gunners' title hopes that year. Interestingly, both of Brighton's most recent Premier League victories over Arsenal have come away from home, at the Emirates.
Last Meeting: Brighton 0-1 Arsenal (March 2026)
The two sides' last meeting at the Amex went Arsenal's way 1-0, settled by a deflected Bukayo Saka strike inside the first ten minutes. Brighton dominated large parts of the game in front of a noisy home crowd but couldn't find a way past a well-drilled Arsenal defence.
Arteta’s side had to dig deep that night to secure a victory which, coming on the same day Manchester City dropped points, proved to be a significant milestone on Arsenal’s path to the title. The two sides had also met earlier that same season, with Arsenal winning 2–1 at the Emirates.
Brighton's 2025-26 Season
Appointed in 2024, Fabian Hürzeler became the youngest permanent manager in Premier League history. Since then, Brighton have maintained the attractive, possesion-based football that has become the Seagulls' main feature under Tony Bloom’s ownership. An eighth-place finish — matching the season before — was enough to secure Conference League qualification and confirm Brighton's place as an established top-half side. Along the way they showed they can compete with the league's elite, picking up some notable home results and finishing the season strongly enough to carry them into European contention.
Arsenal's 2025-26 Season
Mikel Arteta's side were finally crowned Premier League champions in 2025-26 — a first title since 2003-04 and the 14th in the club's history. Summer 2025 additions Viktor Gyökeres, Eberechi Eze, Noni Madueke, Martin Zubimendi and Piero Hincapié gave an already strong squad even more depth and quality. A key factor in their success was that they boasted the best defensive record in the league and that were particularly dangerous from set pieces, topping the Premier League for goals scored from dead-ball situations.
American Express Stadium
Brighton's home since 2011, the American Express Stadium — commonly known as the Amex, and often referred to simply by its Falmer location — sits just outside Brighton on the edge of the South Downs. Ongoing redevelopment work on the North Stand is expected to lift capacity to around 32,500 for the 2026-27 season, once fully signed off, making it one of the bigger grounds outside the traditional "big six" clubs.
The stadium is known for its excellent sightlines, modern facilities and genuinely welcoming atmosphere. The North Stand is home to Brighton's most vocal supporters and does most of the work in generating the noise on matchdays.
Getting to the Amex is straightforward. Falmer railway station is just a few minutes' walk from the ground, with regular services from Brighton Central Station (around 9 minutes) and from Lewes.
