Brighton & Hove Albion summer transfers and net spend: Every confirmed signing and sale for Fabian Hurzeler's side in 2026 window

Brighton & Hove Albion enter the 2026 summer transfer window with another period of evolution on the horizon, and while their spending has traditionally been more measured than the Premier League’s elite, the Seagulls have shown time and again that smart recruitment can be just as powerful as heavy investment.

Last season’s additions, such as the return of Pascal Gross, helped Brighton remain competitive on multiple fronts, and with the club now firmly established as a top‑half outfit with European ambitions, the club's hierarchy are expected to remain proactive in strengthening Fabian Hurzeler’s squad for the campaign ahead.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Brighton's confirmed ins and outs during the 2026 summer transfer window, as well as looking at their net spend and latest transfer rumours floating around the Amex Stadium.
