Aston Villa, fresh from winning the Europa League, will launch their 2026/27 Premier League campaign with an away trip to Brighton & Hove Albion on Sunday August 23.

Unai Emery's side follow that opener by welcoming defending Premier League champions Arsenal to Villa Park the following Saturday, before a trip to newly-promoted Hull the week after.

Before the league season begins, Villa face Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Super Cup at the Salzburg Arena on August 12.

Festive schedule and key fixtures

Villa's Christmas period kicks off with a visit to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Saturday December 19. Emery's men then close out the calendar year with back-to-back home matches — Leeds United on Boxing Day and Liverpool on Wednesday December 30.

The final fixture of the Premier League campaign will see Tottenham Hotspur travel to Villa Park on Saturday May 30.
