The Amex Stadium hosted Brighton & Hove Albion versus Aston Villa in the 2026–27 Premier League opening round.
Brighton played Aston Villa at home on Sunday, 23 August 2026, and won 4–0. The Amex Stadium is Brighton’s home venue and is located in Falmer, near Brighton and Hove on England’s south coast.
The stadium is officially known as the American Express Stadium, while “Amex Stadium” is the widely used short form. Brighton moved there in 2011 after leaving the Withdean Stadium, giving the club a modern permanent home after years of ground uncertainty.
The answer can be confused with Villa Park, Aston Villa’s Birmingham home. St James’ Park hosted Newcastle’s match against Liverpool, and the Gtech Community Stadium hosted Brentford versus Tottenham. Those are separate opening-round venues.
