Everton’s trip to Brighton was moved solely for the benefit of Indian television.
The Blues’ game at the Amex Stadium had originally been scheduled for Saturday, October 14 but was pushed back an extra day by the Premier League.
It was originally switched to a 1.30pm kick-off due to consideration for TV selection but will not be broadcast in the UK despite occupying a prime slot.
Sky Sports had the option to take the game but have instead chosen to show the Championship encounter between Derby County and Nottingham Forest.
International viewers will be able to see Ronald Koeman’s side in action on the South Coast with Star Sports in India being the only channel covering it.
Koeman heads into Everton’s clash with the Seagulls needing an upturn in fortunes after winning just one of his previous six league games in charge.
The Dutchman received a vote of confidence from the club’s majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri following a chastening home defeat to Burnley.
