What time is kick-off for Chelsea vs Brighton & Hove Albion?

Kick-off is at 14:00 BST on Sunday 30 August 2026, with Chelsea the named home side for this Premier League fixture. Full details, including how to enter a call for the result, are on the match page.

What is the head-to-head record between Chelsea and Brighton & Hove Albion?

Brighton & Hove Albion won the two sides' last Premier League meeting 3-0 on 21 April 2026. That is the only fixture between the two clubs in our records, and it went comfortably Brighton's way.

What is the recent form for Chelsea and Brighton & Hove Albion?

Chelsea's last competitive outing was a 3-2 win away at Fulham in the Premier League on 24 August 2026. Before that, their build-up was mixed: wins over Real Sociedad (3-1) and AC Milan (3-0) in club friendlies, a 3-3 draw with Johor Darul Ta'zim, but defeats to Juventus (0-1) and Tottenham Hotspur (1-2).

Brighton's form reads better on paper. They beat Aston Villa 4-0 in the Premier League on 23 August 2026, then drew 0-0 away at Tromsø IL in the UEFA Conference League three days later. Their friendlies were productive too, with wins over Bologna, AS Roma and RC Strasbourg going into the season.

Chelsea vs Brighton & Hove Albion prediction

Brighton & Hove Albion should edge a tight Premier League contest against Chelsea on Sunday. Brighton go into the match with the better recent results, including a 4-0 league win over Aston Villa and a 3-0 win the last time these sides played each other, while Chelsea's warm-up form was patchy outside their Fulham win. Chelsea's home game and their own recent league win keep this from being one-sided, but Brighton's pattern of results this season gives them the edge.

Our prediction: Chelsea 1-2 Brighton & Hove Albion
