Brighton & Hove Albion v Chelsea Tickets | American Express Stadium
Brighton & Hove Albion welcome Chelsea to the Amex Stadium for a Premier League clash on the south coast. The Seagulls have enjoyed a remarkable recent run against the Blues, winning their last three meetings, and will fancy their chances of extending that dominance. With both clubs capable of attractive, attacking football, this has become one of the more compelling fixtures on the calendar.
Match Details
The date and kick-off time for this fixture will be confirmed closer to the match, once the Premier League schedule is finalised (the full 2026-2027 fixture list was released in mid-June), and may be subject to change for TV coverage or cup commitments. The match will be played at the Amex Stadium in Falmer.
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. Following an expansion for the 2026-27 season, its capacity has risen to around 32,500. The award-winning venue provides an excellent matchday atmosphere and has become a difficult place for visiting teams, with its modern facilities and picturesque location on the South Downs making it one of the Premier League's most distinctive venues.
Head-to-Head Record
Brighton and Chelsea have contested 28 competitive matches since the Seagulls' return to the top flight in 2017. Chelsea lead the overall record with 16 victories to Brighton's 7, with five matches ending in draws. The recent trend, however, has heavily favoured the hosts: Brighton have won their last three Premier League meetings with Chelsea, completing a league double over the Blues in 2025-26 — the second time they have managed that, after first doing so in 2022-23, a season that included a memorable 4-1 win at the Amex.
Last Meeting: Brighton 3-0 Chelsea (April 2026)
Brighton swept Chelsea aside 3-0 at the Amex in their most recent meeting. Ferdi Kadioglu struck inside the opening three minutes, Jack Hinshelwood added a second after the break and Danny Welbeck wrapped up the win in stoppage time. Chelsea failed to register a single shot on target, extending a miserable run to five straight league games without scoring — their worst such streak since 1912.
Earlier in the season Brighton had completed the double with a dramatic comeback at Stamford Bridge, winning 3-1 against ten-man Chelsea after Trevoh Chalobah's red card, with Danny Welbeck scoring twice and Maxim De Cuyper also on target. Welbeck has been remarkably effective against Chelsea, involved in more goals against the Blues than against any other opponent during his time at Brighton.
Brighton 2025/26 Season
Fabian Hürzeler maintained Brighton's reputation as one of the Premier League's most progressive clubs, with their commitment to attractive, possession-based football making them a difficult opponent for any side — as Chelsea found to their cost. Brighton finished eighth to qualify for the Conference League, matching their eighth-place finish the previous season, while the club's renowned recruitment continued to unearth talented players from across Europe.
Chelsea 2025/26 Season
It proved a turbulent campaign for Chelsea. Enzo Maresca had won the Club World Cup and the Conference League — making the Blues the first club to win all of European football's major club competitions — but was dismissed in January 2026, with Liam Rosenior taking interim charge before he too was let go. Chelsea ultimately finished outside the European places and have since turned to Xabi Alonso, the former Real Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen coach, who takes charge for 2026-2027 on a four-year contract. Despite the upheaval, the squad retains plenty of quality, with the likes of Cole Palmer, Enzo Fernández and Moisés Caicedo at its core.
