How to watch Brighton vs. Sunderland in the UK

TV channels

The Premier League match-up between the Seagulls and the Black Cats will not be broadcast in the United Kingdom due to the 3pm blackout rule.

Online streaming

Due to the aforementioned embargo on 3pm Saturday fixtures, this will be unavailable for streaming in the UK. 

Highlights

Sky Sports will show highlights on their social media and YouTube channels, as well as on their dedicated app, once the game has concluded. UK viewers can also watch the highlights of the game on Match of the Day, which will start at 10:30pm on BBC One on Saturday night.

What is at stake for Brighton and Sunderland?

After their derby day triumph, where a Nick Woltemade own goal handed Sunderland the regional bragging rights in the North East, the Black Cats arrive in Brighton with their tails up. 

If other results go their way, eighth-place Sunderland could move up to fourth with a victory, while the 10th-place hosts would leapfrog Saturday's visitors with a win. 

With both sides aiming to build on their current positions, the outcome may hinge on which team can better negate their inconsistency, with neither having managed more than two consecutive league wins this season.
