What is the Chelsea v Brighton kick off time?
Kick off at Stamford Bridge is 14.00 BST on Sunday 30 August 2026, with Sky Sports coverage starting beforehand.
Xabi Alonso has made a perfect start at Stamford Bridge and can make it three wins from three when Brighton visit.
His reign opened with a 3-2 win at Fulham, where Joao Pedro scored after 31 seconds for the fastest opening weekend goal in Premier League history. Morgan Rogers marked his debut with a goal and Cole Palmer settled it after the break.
A 2-0 EFL Cup win over Luton Town followed, Danny Welbeck heading in on his debut against the club he left this month.
Moises Caicedo is hoped to be fit to face his former club after a training injury. Wesley Fofana is available for the first time this season having served his suspension, while Jordan Henderson and Marco Palestra remain out.
Brighton have been every bit as impressive, thrashing 10-man Aston Villa 4-0 with all four goals inside 31 minutes through a Victor Lindelof own goal, Maxim De Cuyper and a Jack Hinshelwood brace.
Fabian Hurzeler’s side then beat Tromso 4-0 at the Amex to reach the Conference League league phase, having drawn the first leg in Norway.
Hinshelwood is a doubt after a training injury, with Matt O’Riley ready to step in. Georginio Rutter has been in a protective boot since the Villa game, and Yankuba Minteh, Kaoru Mitoma, Stefanos Tzimas and Evan Ferguson are all long-term absentees.
The Seagulls have won each of the last four meetings, including a 3-0 win at the Amex in April and a 3-1 comeback at Stamford Bridge last September.
