How to get to the Amex Stadium in 2026: Best ways for fans to travel to the home of Brighton

The Amex Stadium is one of the most modern and accessible grounds in the Premier League.

With excellent transport links by rail, road and bus, it is relatively easy for supporters to get to Falmer on matchdays.

Whether you're travelling locally or arriving from further afield, FootballGroundGuide provides a complete guide to the best ways to get to the home of Brighton and Hove Albion in 2026.

Getting to the Amex Stadium by Car

Driving to the Amex Stadium is relatively straightforward, with the ground located just off the A27.

From the north, you can reach the stadium via the A23, A24 or A26 before joining the A27. Once nearby, turn left at the mini roundabout and then right onto Village Way at the first set of traffic lights to reach the stadium entrance.

However, due to strict traffic management schemes in place around the stadium, supporters are strongly advised to plan their journey carefully and allow extra time on matchdays.

Car Parking at the Amex Stadium

All parking at the Amex must be pre-booked in advance, with spaces costing around £20 per car.

Supporters will receive a digital pass, which should be downloaded before arrival for quick scanning. ANPR systems are also in operation, so it’s important to ensure your vehicle registration is correctly registered.

The main car parks include:

• Car Park A – Located right next to the stadium, close to the East Stand
• Car Park B (BN1 9PW) – Around a 10-minute walk away
• Car Park C (BN1 9RB) – Located at the University of Sussex, also around a 10-minute walk

Car parks typically open three hours before kick-off and close around two hours after the final whistle.

Accessible parking is available at a discounted rate and includes a shuttle bus service from designated areas for disabled supporters.

There is no on-street parking permitted near the stadium, and vehicles parked illegally risk fines or being towed.

Getting to the Amex Stadium by Train

For most fans, the train is by far the easiest and most popular way to reach the Amex.

Falmer station is located right next to the stadium, making it the most convenient option. Regular services run from Brighton, Lewes and London, with trains from Brighton taking around nine minutes and running every 20 minutes.

The station offers step-free access and staff assistance, making it suitable for all supporters.

An added bonus is that matchday ticket holders can take advantage of a free travel scheme, allowing travel on trains within the designated travel zone from 3.5 hours before kick-off until 3.5 hours after the final whistle.

Getting to the Amex Stadium by Bus

Bus services are another excellent way to get to the stadium, particularly from central Brighton.

The number 25 service runs every 6–8 minutes from key locations such as Churchill Square and stops directly outside the ground.

Additional routes, including the 28 and 29, connect surrounding areas such as Lewes and Crowborough to Falmer.

All buses are wheelchair accessible, and match ticket holders can travel for free on Brighton & Hove bus services within set matchday hours.

Getting to the Amex Stadium from the Airport

The Amex is well-connected to nearby airports, particularly Gatwick.

From Gatwick Airport

Train: Take a train to Brighton, then connect to Falmer via train or bus.
Taxi: Around 30 minutes, depending on traffic.

FGG Verdict: What is the best way to get to the Amex Stadium?

For the vast majority of fans, the train is the clear winner.

With Falmer station located right next to the stadium and free travel included with match tickets, it offers a fast, convenient and cost-effective way to get to the ground.

Driving is possible, but with strict parking rules and pre-booking required, it is far less convenient than public transport.
