How to Watch Man Utd vs. Brighton on TV, Live Stream

A subdued Old Trafford will greet Manchester United and Brighton & Hove Albion for their Carabao Cup third round tie on Wednesday night.

A derby defeat to Manchester City has sucked the wind out of the Red Devils, who encountered all-too-familiar issues once Phil Foden harshly received his marching orders after 23 minutes. Erling Haaland’s second-half winner ultimately shouldn’t have been allowed to stand, but few had sympathy for Michael Carrick’s side.

Victory in their upcoming cup tie against the free-scoring Seagulls won’t atone for Sunday‘s defeat, yet Carrick is desperate for the restoration of some positive momentum before the first international break of the season.

Brighton, though, have an impressive recent record at Old Trafford, and have been in a ravenous mood at the start of the 2026–27 campaign.

Here’s how to tune into Wednesday’s Carabao Cup clash around the world.

There’s one more round of Premier League fixtures before an extended international break, which means both teams won’t be in action until the second weekend of October.

Brighton have the stiffest challenge up next, as champions Arsenal visit the Amex Stadium on Saturday. Man Utd, meanwhile, travel to the winless Fulham on Sunday, aiming to earn only a second Premier League win of their own this season.

The winner of Wednesday’s clash will tune into the fourth round draw that follows, with the next tie in this competition taking place during the week commencing Oct. 26.
