How to watch Brighton vs Manchester United: TV channel, kick-off times & more

Manchester United travel to the South Coast this weekend to face Brighton in their second Premier League game of the season.

The Reds returned to England earlier this month following their pre-season tour to face Manchester City in the Community Shield.

Despite being defeated on penalties after a 1-1 draw in normal time, Erik ten Hag’s side could take many positives from the performance.

They began their Premier League season with a 1-0 victory at Old Trafford over Fulham last week, as Joshua Zirkzee scored on his debut for the club.

Now, they are preparing for their first away clash of the campaign at Brighton.

The full details of how to watch the upcoming game can be read below.

Kick-off time and venue

This will be the club’s first early kick-off of the season, with the game starting at 12:30 BST on Saturday, 24 August.

United will travel to the Amex Stadium, also known as the Falmer Stadium, to face a Brighton side that won their opening fixture against Everton 3-0.
