Newcastle got the better of Brighton before their November rematch

On 2 May 2026, Newcastle United beat Brighton 3-1 at St James’ Park in the Premier League. That result is the most recent reference point before the teams meet again on Sunday 29 November 2026, when Brighton will host Newcastle United at the American Express Community Stadium. Their recent head-to-head record offers a more mixed picture than the latest score, while the clubs’ current runs provide different points of comparison.

Brighton will come into the fixture after a 2-0 Premier League defeat to Liverpool. They have won three and drawn one of their last five matches, so the loss to Liverpool came amid a generally positive spell. Immediately before that defeat, Brighton recorded two emphatic wins: 5-0 against Crystal Palace and 2-0 against Sunderland. Their scoring form has, however, come with a recent defensive vulnerability: Brighton conceded in two of their last three games.

Newcastle’s recent results have been less consistent. The club beat Hull City 2-1 earlier in the period, but conceded at least once in four of its last five matches. That makes it difficult to treat May’s 3-1 as evidence of a lasting advantage. It confirms Newcastle’s win in the most recent meeting, but the visitors’ recent results do not show an equally steady run.

The previous encounters also underline the back-and-forth nature of the fixture. Brighton won 2-1 against Newcastle at the American Express Community Stadium in October 2025. In May 2025, the teams drew 1-1 at the same ground. Newcastle’s May 2026 victory therefore reversed the outcome of the most recent meeting played in Brighton, without erasing the draw that came before it. For the hosts, those results add a point of interest to the next game: Brighton will have the chance to respond to the spring defeat in front of its own supporters.

For tickets, the official club channels are presented as the most reliable option. Brighton’s portal is for home supporters, while Newcastle handles tickets in the away section, with eligibility linked to an away-match membership or loyalty points. Resale platforms also allow supporters to buy tickets for upcoming Premier League matches and sell them after the initial allocations have sold out.
