Brighton vs Chelsea TV channel and LIVE stream: Where to watch Premier League football tonight

Tom Doyle14 September 2020

Frank Lampard's new-look Chelsea kick off their Premier League season on the south coast tonight with a trip to Brighton.

The Blues finished fourth last season to secure Champions League qualification, but a busy summer transfer window suggests Lampard has bigger ambitions this term.

Chelsea have signed Timo Werner, Hakim Ziyech, Ben Chilwell, Thiago Silva, Kai Havertz and Malang Sarr, with Rennes goalkeeper Edouard Mendy set to be unveiled before the Blues then target West Ham's Declan Rice.

Needless to say, the pressure will now be on Lampard to mount a serious title challenge - and a victory against the Seagulls tonight would get their 2020/21 campaign off to the perfect start.

Brighton vs Chelsea is scheduled for an 8:15pm BST kick-off tonight.

This match will be played behind closed doors at Amex Stadium with no fans due to be present due to government guidelines regarding coronavirus.

The two teams played in a friendly at the same ground two weeks ago in front of 2,500 socially distanced fans as a test event, but current measures mean supporters are not yet allowed in to Premier League fixtures.

TV channel: The match will be televised live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League with dedicated coverage starting from 8pm, though there will be build-up and team news during the earlier fixture - Sheffield United vs Wolves - which kicks off at 6pm on the same channels.

Live stream: Sky Sports subscribers will be able to stream the match online via the website and SkyGo app.

Text commentary: Standard Sport's Giuseppe Muro will also be live at the Amex Stadium with expert analysis on our dedicated match blog from 7pm.
