The Brighton vs Chelsea live stream takes place today (May 15).

The Seagulls are on a poor run of form, having won just one of their last six games. In particular, they are struggling for goals and have not netted more than once in their last 11 EPL matches. After a very topsy-turvy season, their opponents have actually turned things around in recent weeks, notably beating London rivals Tottenham and West Ham.

Mauricio Pochettino was able to welcome back Reece James during his team’s win over Nott’m Forest. The club captain is a crucial player and is back on the bench once again. Ben Chilwell and Carney Chukwuemeka have also returned to team training and the fullback makes into the bench today.  Joel Veltman is out for Roberto de Zerbi.

Brighton won this fixture 4-1 last season, but Chelsea have never lost back-to-back visits to the Amex Stadium. They also won the reverse fixture in December at Stamford Bridge 3-2. A win would give the hosts a chance of finishing in the top half of the table. Depending on other results, the visitors could potentially overtake Spurs and Newcastle and sneak into the European spots.

Here's how they line up:

Brighton: Verbruggen, Lamptey, Webster, Dunk, Igor, Gross, Gilmour, Buonanotte, Enciso, Adingra, Joao Pedro

Chelsea: Petrovic, Gusto, Chalobah, Badiashile, Cucurella, Gallagher, Caicedo, Palmer, Madueke, Jackson, Mudryk

There is then plenty to play for, so read on to find out how you can watch the game where you are. Make sure you don’t miss any of the remaining EPL action by checking out how to watch Premier League live streams.

How to watch Brighton vs Chelsea from anywhere

Brighton vs Chelsea live streams will be shown on many different channels across the world, but what if you're not in your home country and want to watch it on your usual service?

You can still watch Brighton vs Chelsea live thanks to the wonders of a VPN (Virtual Private Network). The software allows your devices to appear to be back in your home country regardless of where in the world you are, making it ideal for soccer fans away on vacation or on business. Our favorite is NordVPN.

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.

1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, NordVPN is our favorite.

2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you're away from home and want to view your U.S. service, you'd select U.S. from the list.

3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to Peacock or another service and watch the game.

Unfortunately, there will be no Brighton vs Chelsea live stream in the U.K. That's because the match has not been picked to be shown on TV.

As it stands, live Premier League rights are split three ways in the U.K. between Sky Sports, TNT Sports and Amazon Prime Video.
