Sunderland vs Brighton live streams are available across several major platforms on Saturday, March 14, 2026, as both clubs arrive at the Stadium of Light in Monkwearmouth with genuine points to fight for. This is a mid-table tussle with real stakes: Sunderland sit 11th with 40 points and are keen to build on a morale-boosting win over Leeds United, while Brighton, on 37 points, are chasing European qualification and cannot afford another slip. Kick-off is at 3:00 PM UK time, which translates to 11:00 AM ET for viewers in the United States.
How to watch Sunderland vs Brighton live streams in the US
In the United States, the match is broadcast on USA Network, with NBC Universo also carrying Premier League coverage. For streaming, Peacock is the primary destination — it carries live Premier League matches as well as replays and analysis content via the Peacock Hub. Peacock offers both monthly and annual subscription plans, with the annual option structured as twelve months for the price of ten. If you miss the live broadcast, replays are available on the platform post-match, which is worth knowing if the 11:00 AM ET kick-off clashes with your schedule.
Where to watch Sunderland vs Brighton live streams in Canada
Canadian viewers have two solid options: DAZN Canada and Fubo. Fubo distributes the match via its Fubo Sports Network 5 DRM channel and requires no cable subscription. DAZN has been the dominant home of Premier League football in Canada and remains a reliable choice for fans who already subscribe. Kick-off for Canadian viewers is listed at 10:45 AM ET.
UK viewing options and what the form table says about this match
In the United Kingdom, Radio Times has full TV and channel details for the fixture. For supporters who cannot access a broadcast, Sunderland AFC offers official live audio commentary through the club’s own platform, which is a useful fallback for fans on the move. It is worth noting that unofficial YouTube streams exist but these are not officially sanctioned and may violate broadcast rights — stick to the licensed platforms.
The form guide makes this a genuinely interesting watch. Sunderland’s last five results read W-D-L-W-L, and that recent win over Leeds ended a month-long drought that had been testing the patience of supporters at the Stadium of Light. Brighton’s recent run of L-W-W-L-L tells a similar story of inconsistency, and their scoring record in 2026 is a concern: they have managed two or more goals in just three of their ten matches this calendar year, winning all three of those games, but have drawn or lost the other seven. Goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen has been central to keeping Brighton competitive during the lean stretches.
Team news ahead of the Sunderland vs Brighton live streams
Brighton head into this fixture without Adam Webster, who is out with a knee injury, and Stefanos Tzimas, who is also unavailable. Kaoru Mitoma is listed as questionable with an ankle problem, which is a significant concern given his ability to unlock defences. Sunderland have their own motivations beyond three points: their next fixture after this is the Tyne-Wear derby against Newcastle at St. James’ Park, so arriving at that game with momentum would be valuable.
The head-to-head context is tight. These two sides met on December 20, 2025 and played out a 0-0 draw, suggesting neither team finds it easy to break the other down. Brighton’s European ambitions give them the clearer incentive to attack, but their scoring inconsistency means Sunderland’s home crowd could be the difference.
Is Sunderland vs Brighton on Peacock in the US?
Yes, Peacock carries Premier League matches in the United States, including live games and post-match replays. USA Network is the TV broadcast option, with the match kicking off at 11:00 AM ET on March 14, 2026.
What channel is the Premier League on in Canada?

Where can I find official live audio commentary for this match?
Sunderland AFC provides official live audio commentary through the club’s own platform at safc.com. This is a legitimate, broadcaster-approved option for fans who cannot access a video stream.
Whether Brighton can convert their European push into actual European football may well hinge on results like this one. For Sunderland, a home win before the Tyne-Wear derby would be a statement. Use the licensed platforms above — Peacock in the US, DAZN or Fubo in Canada, and your local broadcaster in the UK — to catch every moment of what should be a competitive, low-scoring affair at the Stadium of Light on March 14, 2026.
