Brighton confirm three November matches selected for live Sky broadcast
Brighton and Hove Albion have confirmed the Brighton November fixtures picked out for live coverage on Sky Sports. Three matches will move to Sunday afternoons. Two are at the Amex Stadium. One is away from home. All three switch kick-off times to fit the broadcaster’s schedule.
The home meeting with Brentford, the away trip to Hull City and the visit of Newcastle United have each been shifted from their original slots. The club confirmed the changes. They were also reported by The Argus, which set out the new dates and times for every fixture affected.
Supporters should check the revised kick-off times now. This matters most for the Hull City trip. It falls straight after the November international break, giving fans less time to plan around a later start than usual.
Official schedule details and Sky Sports broadcast choices confirmed
Brighton’s home game against Brentford takes place on Sunday, November 8 at 2 pm. It comes only three days after Fabian Hurzeler‘s side host Getafe in Europe. That leaves a short turnaround before the Premier League visit of the Bees to the Amex.
The trip to Hull City follows the international break. Kick-off is confirmed for Sunday, November 22 at 2 pm. Brighton then return home on Sunday, November 29 to face Newcastle United. That game arrives three days after Brighton host Universitatea Craiova in European competition, adding another quick turnaround to an already busy stretch.
The Newcastle fixture kicks off five minutes later than the standard Sunday slot, at 2:05 pm. Sky Sports explains the later start. It follows their live broadcast of the Merseyside derby earlier that day, which kicks off at 12 pm and needs its own coverage window before Brighton’s game begins.
Fabian Hurzeler faces heavy autumn workload across five November fixtures
Hurzeler’s squad face five matches in November alone. The month mixes Premier League commitments with European fixtures against Getafe and Universitatea Craiova. Both continental ties sit either side of the Brentford and Newcastle games, arriving three days before each Sunday kick-off in turn.
The packed calendar leaves little recovery time between matches. This is especially true around the Brentford and Newcastle fixtures, both preceded by midweek European football just days earlier. For more on Brighton’s continental campaign and what it demands of the squad, see our earlier report.
Upcoming schedule timeline and December fixture crunch
Brighton’s workload does not ease once November ends. December brings eight fixtures. It is the busiest month of Hurzeler’s season so far. The run includes a trip to Greece to face Panathinaikos, adding a long-haul journey to an already demanding winter schedule.
The Brighton November fixtures mark the start of a stretch that runs straight through the festive period without a real break. Five games in November are followed immediately by eight in December. That gives Hurzeler’s squad little chance to rest across the autumn and winter run, with rotation likely to become a bigger talking point as the fixtures pile up.
No television selections for December fixtures have been confirmed at this stage. Further broadcast announcements are expected closer to the festive schedule. Any changes will be reported once they are officially confirmed by the club or by Sky Sports, rather than assumed in advance.
