Founded in 1991, Brighton Women share the men's team data-driven philosophy. Since promotion to the WSL in 2022, the Seagulls have steadily improved, playing their home matches at Broadfield Stadium in Crawley (capacity 6,134).

Under Australian head coach Dario Vidosic, appointed in 2024, the team plays an attacking brand of football that reflects the parent club's identity. The 2024-25 season saw Brighton achieve their highest-ever WSL finish of 5th place.
