Albion's first glamour fixture in the Championship at The Amex against Leeds on Friday September 23 (7.45pm)has been selected for live coverage by Sky.
The presence of the TV cameras will earn the Seagulls £100,000.
The match against manager Gus Poyet's old club was originally scheduled for Saturday September 24 (3pm) but was brought forward to avoid clashing with the Sussex and Brighton Universities open days, which would have caused parking and traffic chaos around the new stadium.
The BBC were planning to screen the match on the original date, with Hove-based Jonathan Pearce commentating.
