FAQs: Brighton vs Man City

How can I watch Brighton vs. Man City in the U.S.?

You can stream Brighton vs. Man City on Paramount+ in the U.S. The service’s October 2026 guide includes this Carabao Cup fixture at 3:30 p.m. ET; it does not identify a separate U.S. TV channel or specify which subscription tier provides the match.

What time does the match start?

Kickoff is at 3:30 p.m. Eastern on Wednesday, October 28, 2026 (2:30 p.m. Central). That is 7:30 p.m. in the UK, the time Manchester City gives for the fixture.

Where is Brighton vs. Man City being played?

The fourth-round tie is at the Etihad Stadium, with Manchester City at home to Brighton. City’s fixture announcement confirms the venue and home-team designation, so Brighton will travel to Manchester for the match.

What competition and stage is this match?

It is a Carabao Cup fourth-round match, also known as the EFL Cup, rather than the teams’ separate Premier League meeting. The winner advances in the knockout competition; City reached this round with a 5-0 win over Norwich, while Brighton advanced after beating Manchester United 3-2.

Is this the same Brighton-Man City match scheduled for October 31?

No. The October 28 fixture is the Carabao Cup tie at the Etihad; the Premier League meeting is a separate match scheduled for October 31. Fans should use the competition and date to distinguish the two games when checking their plans.
