While Brighton & Hove Albion’s men are without a fixture this weekend, their next Premier League outing comes away at AFC Bournemouth next Saturday. In the meantime, the spotlight falls on the club’s women’s team, who begin their Women’s Super League campaign on Sunday. They face Aston Villa at the Broadfield Stadium, with new captain Maisie Symonds determined to lead the Seagulls to a strong start.

Portsmouth also sit out this weekend. Their supporters will have to wait until next Sunday, when they make the short trip along the coast to face Southampton in a much-anticipated derby.

Crawley Town are on the road today, heading north to take on Harrogate Town. The Reds come into the match with added firepower, having secured the loan signing of striker Ryan Loft from Cambridge United. Manager Scott Lindsey will hope Loft can make an immediate impact as his side look to climb the League Two table.

In the National League South, Worthing are away at Dagenham & Redbridge this afternoon, with kick-off at 3pm. The Rebels head into the fixture buoyed by their first win of the season — a 2–0 triumph over Salisbury. Manager Adam Hinshelwood will be urging his players to build momentum and turn one victory into a run of form.

Bognor Regis Town take to the pitch tomorrow, when they host Sevenoaks at Nyewood Lane. The Rocks will be eager to put in a strong home performance in front of their supporters.

Chichester City are in action today, entertaining Potters Bar. Chi come into the fixture with confidence after a narrow but hard-fought 1–0 win over Havant & Waterlooville last weekend. Their recent form suggests they’ll be aiming to keep the winning run alive.

Selsey also return to league competition this afternoon with a home clash against Ringmer. The Blues have reason for optimism, having strung together an impressive sequence of four consecutive clean sheets and remaining unbeaten in recent outings. Their midweek 3–0 victory over Infinity in the Peter Bentley Cup has only strengthened belief that they can continue their strong defensive record.

From the Premier League to the grassroots, Sussex football fans have no shortage of matches to follow this weekend. With new signings bedding in, fresh campaigns kicking off, and local rivalries reigniting, there’s plenty to play for across the South.
