Overview

  • Brighton announced a minimum 10,000-seat stadium dedicated to its women’s team, proposed for Bennett’s Field next to the Amex, with a linking walkway reported by Sky Sports.
  • The club now targets opening by the end of the 2030/31 season after an earlier aim for the start of 2027/28.
  • Designs adopt a “built for her” approach with custom locker rooms, recovery spaces, and layouts tailored to women athletes.
  • The matchday plan focuses on families and first-time fans with wider concourses, easy access, social areas, music, and community events.
  • The project remains at the planning stage and would join a very short global list, with KC Current’s venue already open and Denver Summit aiming for 2028.
