Overview
- The Premier League fixture kicks off at 14:00 GMT on Sunday, 8 November 2026 at the American Express Community Stadium and will be shown live in the UK on Sky Sports+ with streaming via Sky Go and NOW.
- Brighton sit third in the table and arrive having won away at Manchester City and in Europe, a run that has left them unbeaten at the Amex this season with multiple clean sheets and high goal returns.
- Brentford are around the top six and come off a 2-0 league win over Nottingham Forest but have not won away in the league this season, a pattern that shapes expectations for their trip to the south coast.
- Both sides face selection limits: Brighton will be without Kaoru Mitoma, Stefanos Tzimas, Zadok Yohanna and Evan Ferguson while Pascal Struijk and Femi Azeez are doubtful; Brentford remain without Rico Henry, Kaye Furo, Josh Dasilva and Fabio Carvalho with Yehor Yarmoliuk available after serving a suspension.
- Referee Michael Oliver will take charge with Stuart Attwell on VAR, bookmakers make Brighton favourites, and previews and tipsters are focusing on goals, bookings and set-piece statistics when framing match markets.
