American Express Stadium

The world-class American Express Stadium is a football ground in Brighton, South East England; home to Premier League team Brighton & Hove Albion. It’s a versatile space that represents the heart of the community, bringing football fans together, as well as playing host to other sporting and corporate events and charity fundraisers.

The Amex Stadium opened in 2011 to replace Albion’s previous temporary home, Withdean Stadium, having moved from the Goldstone some years before. It started with 22,500 seats, but has since grown to be the second-largest stadium in the South East, with approximately 31,800 capacity. After Albion’s promotion in 2017, it now stages Premier League football.

The stadium has seen multiple matches and events, with key milestones being:

• Naming rights: The new stadium is named American Express Stadium, after securing a naming rights agreement with American Express in 2010.
• Inaugural match: In July 2011, Brighton & Hove Albion play their inaugural match against Tottenham Hotspur.
• Expansion: In response to high demand for tickets, the stadium was extended to increase seating capacity in 2013.
• Premier League Club: At the end of the 2016-17 season, Brighton & Hove Albion Football Club were promoted to the Premier League – the top tier of the English football league system.
• Record attendance: In December 2017, and during the Premier League match against Arsenal, the stadium recorded its highest attendance.
• In 2023, Brighton & Hove Albion finished 6th in the Premier League table and will play in the Europa League during the 23/24 season for the first time.
