Premier League announces full fixture list for 2020/21 season; Home game against Chelsea first up for Brighton on Monday September 14
Tuesday 8 September 2020 17:42, UK
Brighton will kick off their 2020/21 Premier League season with a home fixture against Chelsea on Monday September 14.
The slightly later start date is due to Chelsea's participation in European competition at the end of last season as the Premier League afforded them two further days rest.
There is cautious optimism around Brighton after a inconsistent, yet encouraging, first season under Graham Potter. Brighton are now an exciting footballing side to watch but they did flirt with relegation for the majority of last season, only pulling clear after the season resumed.
Brighton face their bitter rivals Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park in their fifth game of the season on October 17 before hosting the Eagles on February 20 in the reverse fixture. They end the season with a trip to The Emirates to face Arsenal on May 23.
