Brighton vs Chelsea Tickets

The Amex Stadium is one of the more modern grounds in the English top flight, though it has become increasingly popular in terms of football fans seeking to experience the thrill of the south coast.

Also known as Falmer Stadium, this venue has been the home of Brighton & Hove Albion since 2011. It holds a 30,750 capacity and there should be very few empty seats when the Blues make the journey down south.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Chelsea History

The first-ever meeting between these clubs came in the Third Round of the 1933 FA Cup. Brighton won, 2-1, before going on to lose to West Ham, who themselves were knocked out by eventual champions Everton in the semi-finals.

34 years went by before Brighton and Chelsea reconvened, again in the FA Cup. This time, in the Fourth Round, it was the latter that progressed and ultimately reached the final at Wembley, albeit a losing effort to Tottenham.

All in all, meetings between Brighton and Chelsea have been few and far between. After the Seagulls earned promotion to the Premier League in 2017, they shared a pitch with the west London club for just a ninth time.

Despite relatively few clashes between these clubs, there has been a number of players to swap one for the other, particularly in recent times.

• In 2022, Scotland midfielder Billy Gilmour completed a permanent move to Brighton, managed by Graham Potter at the time. Just one week later Potter was hired by Gilmour’s former team, Chelsea.

• Levi Colwill spent the 2022/23 season on loan at the Amex Stadium. A series of impressive performances with the Seagulls earned the England defender a new long-term deal at Stamford Bridge.

• Chelsea splashed out in the region of £200m for three Brighton players, all within the space of 12 months. In 2022, Spain international Marc Cucurella moved to the English capital in a transfer worth an estimated £60m. The following year, his countryman Robert Sanchez followed suit as the goalkeeper switched to Stamford Bridge in a £25m deal. Chelsea then sanctioned the signing of Moises Caicedo from Brighton, for a British record fee of £115m.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Chelsea Head-to-Head

In 2016/17, Brighton achieved promotion from the EFL Championship to the Premier League, ending a 34-year stay outside of the top division of English football. The following season they would meet Chelsea in a top-flight fixture for the first time ever, though the Blues won home and away including a 4-0 win at the Amex Stadium.

In the 2022/23 season, Brighton recorded an impressive 4-1 victory over Chelsea in this fixture. Later in the same league campaign, the Seagulls earned a maiden win at Stamford Bridge and, in doing so, completed a league double over the Londoners for the first time.
