Football trips to Brighton 2025/26

Brighton has become one of the more interesting destinations for football travel in England over the past few years. The club's rise through the divisions and their recent seasons in European competition have brought more visitors to the south coast than ever before. On this site you can compare options from a range of companies — some sell match tickets only, others offer full packages including hotel and flights. The comparison covers around 15 different sellers, so it's worth spending a few minutes looking at what each one includes rather than just going for the lowest price. Some packages come with extras like guided tours or pre-match meals, while others are straightforward ticket-plus-hotel deals. What suits you depends on how much you want organised and how flexible you prefer to be. The actual purchase is completed on the seller's own website, so payment methods and booking conditions vary between providers. It's worth checking those details before you confirm anything.

Compare football trips to Brighton

When you compare football trips to Brighton, the price difference between providers can be significant — but price isn't the only thing worth looking at. Two packages at a similar cost might include very different things. One football tour might cover a central hotel, transfers and a category B seat, while another at the same price puts you further from the ground with a category A seat. The companies listed here range from specialist football travel agencies to broader ticket platforms, and they don't all cover the same matches or seat categories. Availability also shifts as the season progresses, so the options you see early in the season may look different closer to the match date. Comparing side by side gives you a clearer picture of what you're actually getting rather than just what it costs. Details about what's included in each listing are shown where the seller has provided them.

Brighton tickets

Getting Brighton tickets through the club directly is possible in theory, but it requires a membership and even then there's no guarantee you'll secure a seat — popular matches sell quickly. Buying through one of the partners listed on this site is a more straightforward route and confirms your place in advance. Tickets for Brighton are available from several of the sellers here, covering different stands and price categories depending on the match. Match tickets are priced differently depending on the opponent and the category of seat, and visiting fans are allocated a specific section of the ground. If you're travelling as a group, it's worth checking whether the seller can accommodate multiple seats together, as that's not always guaranteed across every platform. Some sellers list additional information about what's included with the ticket — for instance whether a printed ticket or mobile entry is used at Falmer Stadium. Check the individual listing for those details.

Supporter guide to Brighton and Falmer Stadium

Visiting fans are housed in the north stand at Falmer Stadium, and the atmosphere from that section can be lively depending on the match. Arriving at least an hour before kick-off gives you time to get through the turnstiles without rushing, especially on busy match days when the queues at Falmer station can build up quickly. There aren't many pubs right next to the stadium itself — the area around the ground is largely university campus. Most fans head to Brighton city centre before the match instead. The Craft Beer Co on Upper North Street and The Pub on Brighton seafront are popular pre-match spots. The North Laine area of central Brighton has plenty of bars and independent pubs within easy walking distance of each other. Away fans are generally well received in Brighton, and the city has a relaxed atmosphere on match days. Bring your ticket confirmation and check in advance whether entry is via mobile or printed ticket.

Getting to Falmer Stadium

The most straightforward way to reach Falmer Stadium is by train. Falmer station sits right next to the ground and is served by Southern Rail. From Brighton station, trains run to Falmer in around seven minutes — the service runs frequently on match days, and extra trains are often added. From London, you can take a direct Southern or Thameslink service to Brighton and then change for Falmer, or in some cases travel directly to Falmer on certain services. Lewes station is also nearby and can be an alternative depending on where you're coming from. Driving is generally not recommended on match days — parking near the stadium is very limited and the roads around Falmer fill up quickly. There is a park-and-ride option at Withdean Sports Complex, served by bus routes into the city and connecting to Falmer. Walking from central Brighton takes around 45 minutes to an hour along the A27 corridor, so the train is the practical choice for most visitors.

Falmer Stadium

Falmer Stadium — also known as the Amex, after its naming rights sponsor American Express — opened in 2011 after Brighton spent years at Withdean Stadium while waiting for planning permission to build a permanent home. The move to Falmer was significant for the club. The stadium was designed by architects Populous and sits in a natural valley on the South Downs, which gives it a distinctive look from the outside — the roof structure follows the contour of the hillside. Capacity is approximately 31,800, though there have been plans to expand it further. The ground has four stands: the North, South, East and West. The atmosphere is generally decent, particularly in the West Stand where the most vocal home support tends to gather. As a relatively modern stadium, the facilities are good — sightlines are clear from most seats and the concourses are well laid out. It's a straightforward ground to navigate even if it's your first visit.

Package trip or tickets only

A package trip to Brighton makes most sense if you're travelling from further away and want to avoid piecing everything together yourself. A travel package typically combines flights or transport, at least one night in a hotel and the match ticket — some also include transfers to the stadium. For a weekend trip, that kind of bundle can save time and occasionally money compared to booking each element separately. On the other hand, if you already have accommodation sorted or you're combining the match with other plans in Brighton, a ticket-only option is more practical. Both types are available through the sellers listed here. Brighton is a popular weekend destination in its own right, so hotels tend to book up on match weekends — worth factoring in if you're planning to sort accommodation separately. The city has plenty of options from budget to mid-range, mostly concentrated around the seafront and the train station area.

Brighton's rivalries

Brighton's main rivalry is with Crystal Palace, a fixture known as the M23 derby after the motorway that connects the two cities. It's one of the more heated rivalries in the Championship and Premier League, with a history that goes back decades and has at times spilled beyond football. The two clubs have had periods of genuine animosity between their supporter bases, and matches between them tend to generate a sharper atmosphere than most. Millwall is another club with a tense history against Brighton, though the two don't meet regularly at the top level. There's also a degree of rivalry with Portsmouth, though that fixture has been less frequent in recent seasons due to the clubs spending time in different divisions. For visiting fans, the Palace match is the one to look out for — it's the fixture that means most to Brighton supporters and the ground tends to be at its loudest when these two meet.

History and great players

Brighton & Hove Albion were founded in 1901 and spent much of their history moving between the lower divisions of English football. Their time at the Goldstone Ground in Hove lasted until 1997, when the stadium was sold and the club went through a turbulent period that nearly ended in relegation out of the Football League entirely. A slow rebuild followed, and the club eventually reached the Premier League for the first time in 2017. Since then they've established themselves as a consistent top-flight side. In modern times, a number of players have made a real mark at the club. Lewis Dunk, born in Brighton, has been with the club since the academy and captained them through their rise to and consolidation in the Premier League. Solly March, another English player developed at the club, has been a key figure in recent seasons. The club has also built a strong reputation for developing and selling players at a profit — a model that has helped fund continued growth.

Other activities in Brighton

A football trip to Brighton works well as a weekend break because the city has plenty going on beyond the match. The seafront is the obvious starting point — the Brighton Palace Pier is right there and worth a walk even if you're not interested in the rides. The Royal Pavilion, the old royal residence with its distinctive Indo-Saracenic architecture, is a short walk from the station and genuinely unusual. The North Laine neighbourhood is the most interesting part of the city for food and drink — a dense grid of streets with independent shops, cafés and bars that's easy to spend a few hours in. The Lanes, just south of North Laine, is older and more compact, good for a wander. For food, Brighton has a solid range of options from seafood to international cuisine, mostly concentrated in the centre. The city is compact enough that you can cover most of it on foot over a day or two, which suits a short match-day trip well.
