INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT'S REPORT

To the Board of Trustees of Brighthouse Funds Trust I:

We have examined management's assertion, included in the
accompanying Management's Assertion Regarding the Portfolios'
Compliance with Rule 17f-2 under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, that SSGA Growth ETF Portfolio, SSGA Growth and Income
ETF Portfolio, SSGA Emerging Markets Enhanced Index Portfolio
(the "SSGA Portfolios"), JPMorgan Core Bond Portfolio, JPMorgan
Small Cap Value Portfolio, and JPMorgan Global Active Allocation
Portfolio (the "JPM Portfolios") (collectively the "Portfolios"),
of Brighthouse Funds Trust I (the "Trust"), complied with the
requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of Rule 17f-2 under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "specified requirements")
as of June 30, 2025. The Portfolios' management is responsible
for its assertion. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on management's assertion about the Portfolios' compliance with
the specified requirements based on our examination.

Our examination was conducted in accordance with attestation
standards established by the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the examination to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether management's assertion about compliance with the
specified requirements is fairly stated, in all material respects.
An examination involves performing procedures to obtain evidence
about whether management's assertion is fairly stated, in all
material respects. The nature, timing, and extent of the procedures
selected depend on our judgment, including an assessment of the risks
of material misstatement of management's assertion, whether due to
fraud or error. We believe that the evidence we obtained is sufficient
and appropriate to provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We are required to be independent of the Portfolios and to
meet our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with relevant
ethical requirements relating to the engagement.

Included among our procedures were the following tests performed
as of June 30, 2025 (the examination date we selected without
prior notice to management), and with respect to agreement of
security purchases and sales, for the period from
December 31, 2024 (the date of our last examination) through June 30, 2025:

1.	Confirmation of all securities held by institutions in
book-entry form with the Depository Trust Company, Euroclear
Bank SA/NV, and various other sub-custodians in the case of
foreign securities held on behalf of certain of the Portfolios.

2.	Confirmation of all securities hypothecated, pledged,
placed in escrow, or out for transfer with brokers, pledgees,
and/or transfer agents.

3.	Reconciliation of all such securities to the books and
records of the Portfolios and State Street Bank & Trust Company
for the SSGA Portfolios and J.P. Morgan as a sub-accountant for
the JPM Portfolios.

4.	Agreement of 9 security purchases and 9 security sales or
maturities from the books and records of the SSGA Portfolios and
agreement of 3 security purchases and 3 security sales or maturities
from the books and records of the JPM Portfolios, since our last
report, as applicable, to broker confirmations or performed other
auditing procedures.

Our examination does not provide a legal determination on the
Portfolios' compliance with specified requirements.

In our opinion, management's assertion that the Portfolios complied
with the requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of Rule 17f-2 of
the Investment Company Act of 1940 as of June 30, 2025, with respect
to securities reflected in the investment accounts of each of the
Portfolios is fairly stated, in all material respects.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of
management and the Board of Trustees of the Trust and the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission and is not intended to be and
should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

/s/ DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP

Boston, Massachusetts
October 8, 2025

Management's Assertion Regarding the Portfolios' Compliance
with Rule 17f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

We, as members of management of SSGA Growth ETF Portfolio,
SSGA Growth and Income ETF Portfolio, SSGA Emerging Markets
Enhanced Index Portfolio, JPMorgan Core Bond Portfolio, JPMorgan
Small Cap Value Portfolio, and JPMorgan Global Active Allocation
Portfolio (the "Portfolios"), of Brighthouse Funds Trust I, are
responsible for complying with the requirements of subsections
(b) and (c) of Rule 17f-2, "Custody of Investments by Registered
Management Investment Companies," of the Investment Company Act
of 1940. We are also responsible for establishing and maintaining
effective internal controls over compliance with those requirements.
We have performed an evaluation of the Portfolios' compliance with
the requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of Rule 17f-2 as of
June 30, 2025, and from December 31, 2024 (date of the last examination)
through June 30, 2025.

Based on this evaluation, we assert that the Portfolios were in
compliance with the requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of
Rule 17f-2 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 as of June 30, 2025,
and from December 31, 2024 (date of the last examination) through
June 30, 2025, with respect to securities reflected in the
investment accounts of the Portfolios.
