Since 2009, Bloom has been the chairman of Brighton & Hove Albion, who are currently a Premier League club, having gained promotion in the 2016–17 season after 34 years out of the top flight of English football.

He succeeded Dick Knight after securing a 75% shareholding in the club and investing £93 million in the development of the club's new ground, Falmer Stadium.

The stadium had extensions in spectator capacity and received funding to ensure that it is "Premier League ready" by installing floodlights, amongst other features.

Bloom appointed former Uruguay international Gus Poyet as manager in November 2009, and together they led the team to promotion from Football League One as champions in 2011, the season before Brighton moved into their new home—Falmer Stadium.

The next manager was former Liverpool player Sami Hyypiä, who only lasted a few months in the managerial role after a poor start to the 2014–15 season left Brighton in the relegation zone.

Chris Hughton became manager towards the end of 2014, and the club have been successful since.

Following the 9th placed finish, Brighton would complete the 2022-23 Premier League season in 6th place and by doing so, qualified for the UEFA Europa League, hosting European football for the first time in their history.

The European charge was started by Graham Potter and completed by Roberto De Zerbi, after the former departed for Chelsea FC.

2020

At the end of the 2020-2021 football season USG were promoted to Belgian First Division A for the first time in 48 years.

Bloom was the majority owner of USG however following the qualification by USG and Brighton for UEFA club competitions for the 2023-2024 season, Bloom made changes to his investment in USG to ensure compliance with UEFA's multi-club ownership rules.

These changes resulted in Bloom becoming a minority shareholder in USG.
