Brighton & Hove Albion Women’s team is gearing up for the 2026-27 Women’s Super League season with a predicted position of 6th, slightly improving from last season’s 7th place finish. The team’s historic FA Cup final appearance last season, despite a loss to Manchester City, has instilled confidence in manager Dario Vidosic and his squad.

This summer has seen a mix of stability and change, with seven new signings joining the club and only four departures. Key additions include Lia Wälti and Gabby George, who bring valuable experience, while young talents like Emily Murphy and Nadia Krezyman are expected to make significant contributions.

Brighton's struggles last season stemmed from inconsistency and a lack of a reliable centre-forward after Michelle Agyemang's injury. With Kiko Seike as the top scorer with just eight goals, addressing this gap remains a priority.

The team aims to build on their late-season form, highlighted by a notable victory over Manchester City and a draw with Arsenal. Their challenging opener against Renée Slegers's side on September 6 will test their mettle.

Off the pitch, Brighton has secured a four-year partnership with Pinterest, marking the first solo sponsorship for the women’s team. Additionally, plans are underway for Europe’s first dedicated women’s football stadium, expected to open by the 2030-31 season.

Manager Dario Vidosic, in his third season, seeks to implement an aggressive style that has shown promise against top teams. The signing of Wälti, a former Juventus player and Switzerland captain, is a significant boost, enhancing midfield control.

Despite past finishing issues, the Seagulls hope to improve their goal conversion rate this season. Sophie Peskett, a promising new recruit, looks set to add flair and scoring capability.

Brighton will play most home games at Crawley’s Broadfield Stadium, with select matches at the Amex Stadium. The club has introduced a new ticketing option, the Amex 4-Match Pack, to enhance fan engagement as they prepare for their future stadium move.
