Brighton & Hove Albion play Brentford in the Premier League at the American Express Stadium on Sunday 8 November, kick-off 2pm. The game was moved to the Sunday for TV and is live on Sky Sports.

If you’re coming by train from the west, allow extra time. Engineering works on the West Coastway mean buses replace trains between Brighton and Worthing or Littlehampton all day. After the match, some trains from Falmer will not stop at Moulsecoomb or London Road.

Match and season tickets work as free passes on buses and trains in the club’s travel zone, for home and away fans. Free travel starts 3.5 hours before kick-off, and you have to start your journey home within 3.5 hours of the final whistle. Brighton & Hove Buses and Stagecoach are running a normal Sunday service.

The park and ride sites at Mill Road (BN1 8ZF) and Brighton Racecourse (BN2 9XZ) open at 11am, first come, first served. The EDF park and ride also opens at 11am but has to be booked in advance. The last park and ride bus leaves the stadium 90 minutes after the final whistle.

Car parking is pre-booked only, at £20 a car. Car Park C at the University of Sussex is open from three hours before kick-off until two hours after the final whistle, and ANPR cameras enforce that. Go in by the Stanmer Park entrance and walk to the Amex through the underpass.

There is no street parking for fans. Streets near the Amex have residents’ parking schemes, and enforcement officers will be on patrol. The drop-off and pick-up point is Car Park 5 at the university, next to the sports hall, with a 60-minute limit. You can’t stop on Village Way or Woollards Way.
