The new Premier League season continues on Saturday as Leeds United travel to the Amex Stadium to face Brighton & Hove Albion.
Daniel Farke's side are unbeaten from their opening two league games, following a 1-0 victory over Nottingham Forest with a 1-1 draw against Brentford at Elland Road last weekend.
Fabian Hürzeler's Brighton sit just one place behind the Whites in ninth, having opened the campaign with an impressive 4-0 win over Aston Villa before a narrow 4-3 defeat by Chelsea.
With the two sides separated by just one point in the early Premier League table, here's how supporters around the world can watch Brighton vs Leeds United.
Coverage starts from 2:30pm with the official pre-match show, live on LUTV and across the club's digital platforms.

Why we like this card: The Hilton Honors Amex Card proves that you don't have to pay a big annual fee to get big rewards. While you'll earn the most rewards on your stays with Hilton, you can also earn a solid 5x points on everyday spending at U.S. supermarkets, restaurants, and gas stations — plus 3x rewards in all non-category spending. With Hilton Honors reward nights starting at 5,000 points per night, those extra points can take you far.
You can also get a lot of value from your complimentary Silver status the Hilton Honors American Express Card offers. Status perks include a 20% points bonus on Hilton stays, your fifth night free on award stays, elite rollover nights, and more. If you score the Gold status upgrade (after spending $20,000 in a calendar year), you'll also receive room upgrades when available, daily food and beverage credits, milestone bonuses, and a boosted 80% points bonus on stays.
Why we like this card: We like the value you can get from the Chase Sapphire Preferred, whether you're a seasoned travel pro or a beginner to travel rewards. For hotels specifically, the up to $100 annual credit for hotel stays purchased through Chase Travel can offset the annual fee on its own.

Azeez arrives at the Amex Stadium on a four-year contract and becomes Brighton's 11th signing of the summer window, including their club record £45m move for Tottenham centre-back Luka Vuskovic.
Azeez, 25, scored 11 goals and provided eight ****** ists in 37 games last season, earning a place in the PFA Championship team of the year.
Azeez has been pushing for a move to the Premier League, with Millwall rejecting at least three bids from Brighton in recent weeks.
His departure is a club record sale for Millwall.

Aston Villa could hardly have imagined a worse start to the 2026/27 Premier League season.
The Lions were torn apart by Brighton & Hove Albion at the Amex Stadium, with Fabian Hurzeler's side needing just 31 minutes to put the game beyond doubt.
A Victor Lindelof own goal and a debut red card for Joao Gomes summed up a disastrous afternoon for Villa, who were forced into the relegation zone after losing 4-0 on opening day.
It's too early to say whether the heavy defeat points to deeper problems following the departures of several high-profile players including Morgan Rogers, Youri Tielemans, Ezri Konsa, and Lucas Digne.
However, the Villans have sprung into action in the transfer market.

Over the last year, Nick Maggiulli has come to what he calls an unsettling realization: The upper-middle class is caught in a trap, and many of them don't even realize it.
The chief operating officer of Ritholtz Wealth Management has spent the better part of a year building the case in pieces on his blog, Of Dollars and Data—first arguing private school isn't worth the cost despite its price tag, then that premium travel experiences have grown crowded while remaining expensive in "The Death of the Amex Lounge." He previously talked to Fortune about his book, The Wealth Ladder, and his growing belief "something weird's going on" with the upper-middle class in the U.S. economy.
In an April essay, he pulled the threads together and gave the phenomenon a name: the "upper-middle-class trap," in which people earning roughly $200,000 to $400,000 a year are working more and relaxing less to buy products and services of declining quality.
His evidence includes new single-family homes shrinking in average size by 12% between 2014 and 2024, even as the price per square foot surged 74%, according to LendingTree data. A home near a public elementary school with a top GreatSchools rating costs 78.6% more than a comparable home in the surrounding county. Homebuyers who win bidding wars end up worse off: One study found their purchases produced 6.9% lower annualized returns than homes bought without competition. In higher education, the number of college applicants has jumped 78% since 2015 even as acceptance rates at elite schools have collapsed, driving tuition and private-school costs up roughly twice as fast as overall inflation.
The mechanism Maggiulli describes is a "financial arms race": Every individual decision is rational, but collectively the competition for the same scarce positional goods lowers everyone's quality of life while draining their bank accounts.

Brighton face Norwegian side Tromso in the second leg of their Conference League play-off tie on Thursday following a goalless draw 200 miles north of the Arctic Circle last week.
Seagull boss Fabian Hurzeler has a big decision to make on whether he should start a strong team just three days before his side play away at Chelsea. His side are huge favourites to make it through to the League Phase of the competition but won't want to be on the end of an embarrassing upset in their search for a first major trophy in the club's history.
Both former Seagulls players Warren Aspinall and Guy **** ers believe Hurzeler should go strong against their Norwegian counterparts.
Speaking on the Albion Unlimited podcast, Aspinall said: "Get the job done and put the strongest side out. See if we can get a few goals in the first half then take players off. Man for man we're better than them. As a team, we're better than them but never underestimate them because they should've won that game at home.
"It'll be completely different at the Amex with our crowd. I **** ume they will bring a good following but we should be beating Tromso. It's a massive game for the football club. Six extra games in Europe, financially as well, so I think he has to go very strong."

Former Celtic midfielder Matt O'Riley is attracting interest from French Ligue 1 side Lyon, after falling out of favour at EPL side Brighton and Hove Albion.
The 25 year old Danish international was recalled by seagulls boss Fabian Hurzeler from a loan spell with Lyon's domestic rivals Marseille last February, but has struggled to get regular game time in England's south coast.
The former MK Dons midfielder missed a chunk of pre-season due to Illness, and was omitted from the German's squad for Sunday's EPL opener at the Amex Stadium which saw Brighton hammer Aston Villa 4-0 to get their campaign off to an absolute flyer.
Lyon are one of several European clubs said to be interested in O'Riley who left Celtic for the Seagulls in August 2024 for a fee believed to be £25 million.
The former Fulham youngster has three years remaining on his contract at the Amex but due to ongoing interest, there's a strong chance the 25 year old won't be a Brighton player on 1st September – the English transfer deadline day.

He had also been heavily linked with Inter, and the subject of a pact of non-aggression between the two Serie A clubs for his signature.
However, when Inter withdrew their interest and instead focused on John Stones and Cristian Romero, it opened up the door for Como to resume negotiations.

On July 21, during CNBC's Mad Money program, host Jim Cramer used the daily chart **** ysis by options trader Bob Lang, founder of Explosive Options, to examine American Express Company (NYSE:AXP). Cramer pointed to the company's distinct cardholder demographic and high-margin annual fee structure, as he highlighted why the premium card issuer remains a long-time favorite for core portfolio allocations:
Now finally, there's one that I have been near and dear for as long as I can remember, and that's American Express. Now, this only has 10% of purchase volume with fewer cards in circulation, but their cardholders tend to spend a lot more money. Plus, they charge fees for their best cards, basically making you pay for access to their generous rewards programs. It's a fantastic business model. But remember, they do have credit risk.
Under Cramer's framework, American Express occupies a specialized niche compared to rival payment networks Visa Inc. (NYSE:V) and Mastercard Incorporated (NYSE:MA). While Visa controls 60% of cardholders and Mastercard holds 25% to 30%, American Express Company (NYSE:AXP) commands roughly 10% of purchase volume. However, unlike Visa and Mastercard, which operate strictly as neutral tollbooths with zero balance-sheet risk, American Express operates as a direct card issuer. That closed-loop structure allows the company to capture premium annual membership fees and higher per-cardholder spending, though it requires absorbing credit default risk when consumers fall behind on payments.
On the technical side, Cramer highlighted that Lang noted that American Express Company (NYSE:AXP) has shown exceptional relative strength during recent broader market chop. After breaking out above its 200-day moving average in early June, the stock successfully retested that key support level on multiple occasions before surging higher on heavy volume. With the MACD indicator continuing to flash a buy signal, Lang sees a clear path toward $350, with a secondary upside target at its February peak of $370. It is the exact price level where sellers previously emerged. Furthermore, heading into Friday's quarterly report, Cramer shared Lang's bullish fundamental outlook on travel demand while offering his own tactical trading playbook for retail investors:
Now, I've gotta tell you, in his view, American Express is the best in class. Given that we've seen big numbers in travel here, Lang expects that Amex will shoot the lights out when it reports on Friday… I agree with him that this company's best of breed, but I also want to point out that American Express' stock, no matter what they seem to report, tends to sell off in response to earnings on that Friday even when the numbers are terrific. Then it gradually finds its footing afterwards and mounts strong rallies in between quarters, which is why I always say, you know, around like 10:30, 11, you might want to buy this one. I'm not kidding. It's been a good prediction so far.

Inter have joined Como in tracking Chelsea and England defender Trevoh Chalobah, because negotiations with Udinese for Oumar Solet have stalled.
The Nerazzurri's summer has so far been one of bitter disappointment, as they keep being priced out of players following weeks or even months of confident negotiations.
They lost Marco Palestra to Chelsea, look to be backing away from Liverpool's Curtis Jones, and now Solet is increasingly unlikely to arrive.

The defender agreed personal terms, but Udinese want at least €25m and so far Inter do not seem prepared to pay that for someone who is also an Atletico Madrid target.
