  19. 125 years of Albion memories

    Brighton fans have been getting in touch with BBC Radio Sussex as the Seagulls celebrate their 125-year anniversary during the 2026-27 campaign.

    Roger: For 14 years, I was the sports editor of BBC South Today. I was there on the pitch when Norman Cook was going to sponsor the club, but probably my fondest memory was being in a helicopter flying high over a farmer's field when Brighton got permission to build the Amex Stadium. It had been such a long battle, but I am sure the Albion fans have not looked back.

    Jake: My favourite Brighton and Hove Albion memory is this free-kick from Anthony Knockaert in 2016 when we beat QPR 4-0. I won a half-time hat-trick scratchcard, which was £50 when we used to have them at the turnstiles.

    Joe: The Marseille home game at the Amex in December 2023 felt like the moment everything had clicked. We had a tough start in the group, losing the first game, but then to win four in a row, including beating Ajax twice, was incredible. To finish top of the group with Marseille, Ajax and AK Athens... It captured the emotion, and the eruption of emotion in the stadium.

    Matthew: My favourite memory has to be Leonardo Ulloa's goal against Nottingham Forest in 2014 to send us to the play-off final. My Grandad, who sadly passed away in October, made the most deafening noise celebrating. I had to bury my head into the sofa. It was so loud!

    Brighton start as they mean to go on – beginning the 2026-27 season with a Sunday home game against Aston Villa.

    Fabian Hurzeler's side are in the unusual position of knowing their campaign as a whole will begin with a Conference League play-off first leg tie, with the second leg to follow in the first midweek of the season.

    That means the Villa game is on a Sunday and the trip to Chelsea that follows will also be shifted away from it's current Saturday slot on 29 August.

    Providing they reach the league phase, Brighton's squad depth will be tested by the first match coming between a trip to Sunderland and the home game with Crystal Palace, and the second coming after the Palace encounter and before a trip to Liverpool.

    As usual, Brighton are away on Boxing Day – at Fulham. They also have midweek away trips to Bournemouth and Manchester United.

    Hurzeler's side finish the campaign at home to Liverpool and away at Arsenal.
