During the 2001–02 English football season, Brighton & Hove Albion F.C. competed in the Football League Second Division.
Season summary In October 2001, Brighton boss Adams left the club to work as Dave Bassett's assistant at Leicester City, being replaced by former Leicester manager Peter Taylor. The transition proved to be a plus point for Brighton, who maintained their good form and ended the season as Division Two champions – winning a second successive promotion.
