The attendance at Brighton & Hove Albion’s 4–0 win over Aston Villa on 23 August 2026 was 31,746.
Brighton played Villa at the American Express Stadium, also known as the Amex, on the Sunday of opening weekend. The home side scored four times without reply, making it the round’s biggest winning margin.
The crowd of 31,746 filled the Falmer ground for Brighton’s first league match of the season. The figure is lower than the capacities of several large Premier League stadiums but reflects the Amex’s listed capacity for the campaign.
Brighton’s victory included a brace by Jack Hinshelwood, while Aston Villa failed to score. The match was one of three Sunday fixtures on 23 August, alongside Manchester City–Bournemouth and Newcastle United–Liverpool.
