Drivers are being warned of the potential for gridlock tomorrow (Sunday 19 September) with four key events taking place in Brighton.
About 30,000 football fans are expected to watch Brighton and Hove Albion host Leicester City at the Amex Stadium in Falmer, with a 2pm kick-off for the match.
A bus replacement service instead of trains along the West Coastway line may add to the challenges facing supporters.
Thousands of cyclists are expected to take part in the London to Brighton Bike Ride which is usually held earlier in the year.
Cancer Research UK is also hosting the Race for Life at Stanmer Park, with the event also taking place later than usual, having been affected by the coronavirus restrictions.
And thousands of students are due to arrive at Sussex University, ready for the start of the new academic year.
The football club has contacted fans urging them to travel to the match by public transport, having secured some free parking at Brighton and Lewes railway stations.
The club said: “We are operating our ‘travel scheme’ where supporters can use public transport within our ‘travel zone’ on production of their match ticket as displayed on their mobile phone.
“All supporters are asked to plan their journey carefully and we would strongly advise you to arrive early and allow extra time for any pre-match checks, along with the new mobile ticketing entry procedures.
“For supporters travelling by rail, Southern are running an enhanced service on the Falmer line.
“However, the Littlehampton to Brighton line will be closed and a bus replacement service will be in operation. Please note the bus service will be extremely busy.
“Fans on the west coast routes are asked to plan their journey in advance and leave additional time to ensure they arrive on time.
“Southern have kindly allowed our supporters to ‘park and train’ on the day, where our supporters can park for free at both Brighton and Lewes stations on production of their digital match tickets. Car parks will be open from 11.30am to 6pm.
“The free parking at both stations is limited and will be very popular so please arrive early as availability will be on a first come basis.
“Post-match trains departing Falmer to Brighton will not be stopping at Moulescoomb or London Road. Please ensure you wear a face covering when travelling or queuing at stations.
