The 2026/27 season

Brighton go again in the Premier League, and this time there are European nights to look forward to

Brighton and Hove Albion enter 2026/27 in their tenth consecutive Premier League season under head coach Fabian Hürzeler, having finished eighth in 2025/26 to earn a return to European football through the Conference League. The summer was reshaped by a centre-back swap with Tottenham that saw Jan Paul van Hecke sold and Luka Vušković arrive as a club-record signing, while Lewis Dunk stays on as captain.

League news and transfers

The latest news and reaction

Fresh headlines and fan reaction from BBC Sport, the Guardian and the club's own subreddit, newest at the top. Every item opens on its source.

Team news

Injuries, suspensions and the confirmed eleven

It is pre-season, the 2026/27 campaign has not kicked off, and there is no honest team news to report yet. Confirmed lineups and any fitness or suspension calls tend to land about an hour before kickoff, and this is where they will appear once they do.

Holding
No confirmed team news yet.Nothing has been played in 2026/27, so there are no injuries, suspensions or lineups to list, and we will not guess at any.
Matchweek 1
Brighton & Hove Albion v Aston VillaThe confirmed starting eleven is expected around 13:00 BST on Sunday 23 August, roughly an hour before the 14:00 kickoff on Sky Sports. It will be posted here.
Where it comes from
Straight from the clubBrighton publish the confirmed lineup on their official channels first. brightonandhovealbion.com and @OfficialBHAFC are the primary sources.
The beat writers
Context before the whistleThe football desk at The Athletic and the local Argus tend to carry the probable eleven and any late fitness doubts ahead of the official announcement.
Reminder
Check back near kickoff.Anything shown here before then would be speculation, so we leave it blank on purpose until the real news is confirmed.

The list scrolls on its own and pauses when you hover or focus it. Nothing above is a prediction, it is an honest holding state until the first confirmed lineup drops.

The 2026/27 Premier League season has not kicked off, so every figure below sits at zero. This is an honest empty state, not a data problem. The live table, form and charts will start filling from the first whistle of matchday one.

Recent seasons

The record books

The club's long-standing records

A handful of well documented club records, several of them set in the interwar years at the old Goldstone Ground and a couple set in the modern Premier League era. Only figures that are firmly established are shown here.

Cook and Wilson set their marks across the 1920s and 1930s and neither has been beaten since. The Caicedo sale was a British transfer record at the time it was agreed.

Honours

The trophy cabinet

Brighton have never won the English top flight or the FA Cup, and their honours sit mainly in the lower divisions alongside a Charity Shield from well over a century ago. Here is the record as it stands, kept honest about the gaps as well as the wins.

5 Football League titles 1957/58, 1964/65, 2000/01, 2001/02 and 2010/11
1 FA Charity Shield Won in 1910, beating Aston Villa 1-0

0 Top-flight titles Never won the English first division
0 FA Cups Runners-up in 1983
6th Best top-flight finish 2022/23, the club's highest ever
Fan channels

Fan channels and watchalongs

Brighton's supporter media is a smaller, community-run world than you find at the biggest clubs, built around a handful of long-standing channels and podcasts rather than the large live watchalong operations some rivals have. The official channel is the main home for club video, and the independent channels below are run by supporters, so their views are their own. If you want more, a quick YouTube search turns up the current crop of reaction and watchalong videos.
