Change* – 2025/26 average attendance compared to 2024/25.

Brighton halved the number of games they staged at the Amex in 2025/26 compared with 2024/25, a shift that fed into an overall 15% drop in their average attendance across the season.

The reduced Amex schedule did however, translate into bigger individual crowds when they did use the main stadium: 4,645 watched their first game against Leicester—a 123% increase on the same fixture at the same ground in 2024/25—and the final‑day meeting with Tottenham drew 6,749, the third‑highest WSL attendance in the club’s history.

By contrast, four of the five repeat opponents at Broadfield Stadium in 2025/26 attracted fewer spectators than the previous season, contributing to a 15% year‑on‑year decline at that venue.

NOTE: The chart above displays attendances for the 2025/26 season in chronological order with comparisons to corresponding games in the 2024/25 season. Newly promoted London City Lionesses and Crystal Palace who were relegated from the WSL at the end of the 2024/25 season are omitted from the chart but are included in the attendance data.
