As the 2026-27 Women’s Super League season approaches, Brighton is looking to build on the momentum of a historic campaign that saw the club reach its first FA Cup final. Although the team ultimately fell to Manchester City at Wembley, the experience is viewed by the club as a significant milestone in their development under manager Dario Vidosic.

Heading into the new season, the club has prioritized stability. While the squad has seen some turnover, the volume of departures has been kept to four players, allowing for a relatively consistent core. To bolster the roster, Brighton has added seven new players, most notably Lia Wälti and Gabby George. These additions are intended to provide the team with increased defensive depth and veteran experience as they look to improve upon their seventh-place finish from the previous year.

Predictions for the upcoming season are generally optimistic, with a panel of writers forecasting a sixth-place finish for the club. The focus for the season remains on translating the confidence gained from last year's cup run into more consistent league performance.
