Brighton & Hove Albion travel guide

Getting there & parking

American Express Stadium is an away-day destination where the final approach matters. Check the fixture information before travel because parking, segregation and coach arrangements can change.

Parking options

Compare official and private matchday parking

Official matchday parking

Official Amex, Bridge and park-and-ride parking is advance-purchase only and capacity is limited. Buy the product offered for the fixture and follow its named entrance; more spaces can be released close to matchday, but turn-up parking should not be assumed.

The match ticket includes travel within the club's defined free-travel zone for the stated matchday period. Rail from Brighton or Lewes is usually the cleanest option, while each park-and-ride site has its own bus and return queue.

Private matchday parking

JustPark lists reservable managed spaces and private driveways in Brighton. Search around the stadium postcode, then check the real walking route, access window and cancellation terms before booking.

Private spaces are independent of the club; a very close driveway may still sit inside the post-match traffic queue.

Availability, prices and access arrangements can change by fixture. Always check the booking details before travelling.

By train

Falmer station is immediately beside the stadium, one stop east of Brighton and one stop west of Lewes. Match-ticket holders can use the club's matchday travel zone on eligible trains and Brighton & Hove buses, but services and platforms become extremely busy; allow for a managed queue after full-time and check engineering work before relying on a last connection.

By bus or coach

Check the current local timetable for the final leg to American Express Stadium. Away coaches and minibuses should follow the instructions issued by the visiting club and must not assume a public parking bay.

Driving

The stadium sits beside the A27 at Falmer. Do not drive to BN1 9BL without a valid parking booking: event-day restrictions cover Falmer, Coldean and nearby residential streets, and stewards route cars to the entrance printed on the permit.

Use BN1 9BL only for the general area, then follow matchday signs and the entrance named in your parking instructions. Allow extra time for residential roads and pedestrian traffic.

After the match

Expect the roads immediately around American Express Stadium to move slowly while pedestrians clear. Rail users should confirm the last practical connection; drivers may prefer to wait before joining the main route.

Travel, parking, ticket allocations and stadium procedures can change by fixture. Check the latest information from both clubs and the relevant operator before travelling. Guide checked 26 September 2026.
