Brighton FA Cup Tickets

The FA Cup is perhaps the best chance of trophy success for Brighton & Hove Albion, as the south coast club aims to capture this title for the very first time. The Seagulls' rise up the Premier League table in recent years has given their fans plenty of belief that the team is capable of fighting it out with some of the very best teams in English football.

This is precisely why FA Cup football at the AMEX Stadium has become a much anticipated occasions for Brighton fans. This ground holds a capacity above 30,000, with matchdays typically producing a terrific atmosphere at the home of BHAFC.

With men such as Tony Grealish and Jimmy Melia having led the Seagulls to their only previous FA Cup final appearance, to men such as Leandro Trossard, Neal Maupay and Aaron Mooy all having featured in more recent years, Brighton have had a number of stars play in this competition through the years.

Brighton continue the hunt for an elusive FA Cup title, having never previously won this famous trophy. The Seagulls reached the final of this competition in 1983, but ultimately came out second best to Manchester United. The teams couldn't be separated in a 2-2 draw, before the Red Devils claimed a 4-0 victory in the replay five days later.

To date, this remains the furthest Brighton have progressed in the FA Cup, a feat that was almost matched in 2023. Under manager Roberto De Zerbi, BHAFC advanced to the semi-finals but once again lost out to Man United, this time via a penalty shootout following a goalless stalemate at Wembley Stadium.

This came four years after Brighton had made the FA Cup semi-finals for the first time since 1983, in a losing effort to eventual champions Manchester City.

Reaching the 1983 FA Cup final was a bittersweet adventure for those associated with Brighton, as it highlighted the team's capability of competing with the very best teams in the land, despite missing out on trophy success to Man United.

The 2018/19 campaign may be remembered a little more fondly by fans, though, as it provided a renewed hope of BHAFC being able to advance to the latter stages of the FA Cup. The Seagulls reached the semi-finals before they were beaten by Man City, 1-0.

Brighton returned to Wembley in May 2023, again in the FA Cup semi-finals, but once again couldn't get over the line as Man United ran out 7-6 winners on penalties following a 0-0 draw between the sides.
