The 2026–27 season marks Brighton & Hove Albion's 125th campaign and their tenth consecutive season in the Premier League, where they will also compete in the FA Cup, EFL Cup, and the UEFA Conference League—their first European venture since 2023–24. In pre-season, they lined up friendlies against Serie A sides Roma and Bologna, as well as fixtures against Annecy and Strasbourg, though their French training camp had to be relocated to Austria after the pitch was deemed unusable. In the domestic cups, they enter the FA Cup in the third round and were drawn away to Manchester United in the EFL Cup's third round. For the Conference League, they face Tromsø in the play-off round and will host Kauno Žalgiris, Universitatea Craiova, and Monaco in the league phase, while traveling to Jablonec, Getafe, and Panathinaikos. With the Premier League fixtures released on 19 June, the club's early-season statistics (through 5 September) are already being tracked, demonstrating a busy start to a highly anticipated multi-competition schedule.
