Chris Hughton's side managed to steer clear of the drop zone last season and they will face another fight to retain their status in 2018-19
Brighton avoided relegation from the Premier League last term and they are now embarking on a second successive campaign in England's top division.
Chris Hughton masterminded crucial victories over the likes of Manchester United and Arsenal as the East Sussex outfit tallied 40 points in all to steer clear of the drop zone.
Players such as Pascal Gross and Glenn Murray shone for the club last season, but they will need to take things to a higher level again in 2018-19 if they wish to preserve their status.
Goal brings you everything you need to know about the Seagulls' season ahead, including squad numbers, transfer business and their complete Premier League schedule.

Brighton 2018-19 transfer activity
The task which lies ahead of Brighton in 2018-19 is arguably greater than last season and they understandably sought to add reinforcements to their squad during the transfer window.
Club records were smashed to sign the likes of Yves Bissouma from Lille and Alireza Jahanbakhsh from AZ, while Leon Balogun and Bernardo have joined from Bundesliga sides Mainz and RB Leipzig respectively.
A host of club stalwarts have moved on too, with Steve Sidwell being released and Liam Rosenior retiring, while deadline-day deals included the addition of former Barcelona defender Martin Montoya.
Things don't get much easier for the Seagulls, with games against Manchester United, Liverpool, Fulham and Southampton completing their opening five matches.
The first M23 Derby of the season is set to take place December, when Crystal Palace visit the Amex Stadium and the return fixture will happen in March next year.
December will be a particularly testing month, with games Chelsea, Arsenal and Everton also scheduled.
Depending on how results pan out during the season, the final run-in could be seriously hazardous, with Newcastle United, then Arsenal at home and away trip to Man City to top it all off.
