The Seagulls have announced the squad numbers for next season.

The Brighton & Hove Albion team numbers for the 2025–2026 season have been formally revealed. The team lost their two main strikers, Evan Ferguson and Joao Pedro, but they also added a lot of fresh players for the upcoming campaign.

We see a few modifications and fresh features. New additions like Mats Wieffer (27), Diego Gómez (25), Yasin Ayari (26), and Ferdi Kadioglu (24), among others, are significant changes. Carlos Baleba (17), Kaoru Mitoma (22), and Jan Paul van Hecke (6), among others, have also changed their numbers.

The Seagulls missed out on European competition for the upcoming season as the team finished eighth in the Premier League the previous season under new manager Fabian Hürzeler.
