Amex Stadium
The American Express Community Stadium, known as the Amex, has been Brighton's home since 2011 and represents a remarkable transformation in the club's fortunes. With a capacity of 31,800, the award-winning venue provides an excellent matchday atmosphere and has become a difficult place for visiting teams. The stadium's modern facilities and picturesque location on the South Downs make it one of the Premier League's most distinctive venues.
Head-to-Head Record
Brighton and Chelsea have contested 27 competitive matches since the Seagulls' return to the top flight in 2017. Chelsea lead the overall record with 16 victories to Brighton's 6, with 5 matches ending in draws. However, the recent trend heavily favours the hosts: Brighton have won four of their last seven Premier League meetings with Chelsea, including three of the last four. In the 2022-23 season, Brighton completed a league double over Chelsea for the first time in their history, including a memorable 4-1 victory at the Amex.
Last Meeting: Chelsea 1-3 Brighton (September 27, 2025)
Brighton produced a stunning late comeback to defeat ten-man Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Enzo Fernández's close-range header from a deflected Reece James cross had given Chelsea the lead midway through the first half, but the game changed dramatically when Trevoh Chalobah was sent off for denying Diego Gómez a goalscoring opportunity eight minutes into the second half. Brighton capitalised on their numerical advantage: Danny Welbeck powered in a header from Yankuba Minteh's cross to equalise in the 77th minute, before substitute Maxim De Cuyper nodded home at the start of 11 added minutes to put the Seagulls ahead. Welbeck then completed the turnaround with his second, lifting the ball over Robert Sánchez to seal a famous victory. Welbeck has now been involved in seven goals in eight Premier League games against Chelsea for Brighton, more than against any other opponent.

Fabian Hürzeler continues to build on the foundations laid by his predecessors, maintaining Brighton's reputation as one of the Premier League's most progressive clubs. The Seagulls' commitment to attractive, possession-based football has made them a difficult opponent for any team, as Chelsea have discovered to their cost in recent meetings. Key players like Kaoru Mitoma, Yankuba Minteh and the experienced Danny Welbeck provide a potent attacking threat, while the club's renowned recruitment continues to unearth talented players from across Europe.
Chelsea 2025/26 Season
Liam Rosenior took charge of Chelsea in January 2026, inheriting a squad that had won the FIFA Club World Cup under Enzo Maresca just months earlier, beating Paris Saint-Germain 3-0 in the final. The Blues are also Conference League holders, becoming the first club to win all four main UEFA competitions. Under Rosenior, Chelsea have been consistent in the Premier League while also competing in the Champions League knockout stages. Key players Cole Palmer, Enzo Fernández and Moisés Caicedo form the spine of a talented squad, with Alejandro Garnacho adding another dimension following his January move from Manchester United.
