The American Express Stadium — the Amex — is the home of Brighton & Hove Albion, tucked into the South Downs at Falmer on the edge of the city. Modern, atmospheric and surrounded by countryside, it's a superb matchday venue, but its out-of-town location makes getting there the part worth planning. This guide covers the stadium, matchdays, and fixed-price transfers so you're not caught in the post-match transport crush.
The Amex is known for a strong atmosphere and a compact, modern design that keeps fans close to the pitch. On matchdays the surrounding area fills quickly, and because the stadium sits away from the city centre, the roads and the single rail line to Falmer get very busy before and after games.

For away supporters and neutrals, Brighton makes a great matchday city — the seafront, the Lanes and a lively food and drink scene are all worth arriving early for. Gatwick is the nearest airport at around 28 miles, making the Amex accessible for fans flying in from elsewhere in the UK or abroad.
The Amex offers a good range of concourse food and drink, plus premium hospitality options with dining and padded seats for those wanting the full experience. As with most stadiums, matchday prices carry a premium over the high street, and queues are longest just before kickoff and at half-time. Many fans prefer to eat in Brighton beforehand, then arrive in good time for the atmosphere. The stadium is fully modern, with accessible facilities, family areas, and a smooth, well-signed layout thanks to its relatively recent construction.
For Premier League fixtures, especially evening kickoffs and big-name visitors, plan to arrive early — the single road and rail line into Falmer mean the last 45 minutes before kickoff are the busiest. Midweek evening games add the challenge of rush-hour traffic on the approach, so a generous buffer pays off. A pre-booked transfer with a set arrival time removes the guesswork, and agreeing a post-match pickup point a short walk from the ground lets you avoid the immediate crush entirely while the crowds thin.
A: About 4 miles — a short transfer, or a train to Falmer beside the ground.
A: Very limited and mostly permit-only. Most drivers use park-and-ride; many fans prefer the train or a transfer.
A: A pre-booked transfer from a pickup point near the ground avoids the Falmer station queue.
A: Gatwick, around 28 miles away.
The Amex is a fine modern stadium, but its Falmer location funnels everyone through one road and one station. A fixed-price transfer gets you door-to-door and skips the post-match crush — well worth it for groups and away-day travellers.
