Aston Villa supporters now have full clarity on the Aston Villa fixtures after international break, following this update on 28 September 2026. Unai Emery’s side head into the coming weeks on the back of a 3-2 win over Tottenham Hotspur, and the schedule ahead blends Premier League business with the return of Champions League nights at Villa Park.
Villa return to action after international break
Villa went into the break in good form after edging past Tottenham Hotspur 3-2 in the Premier League. It capped a lively few weeks for Emery’s squad, and our account of the dramatic Villa win over Tottenham covers the detail behind that result.
That victory sent Villa into the international break with confidence. It also sets the tone for the busy run of fixtures that follows through October.
How Unai Emery’s side set up the autumn run
Much of Villa’s momentum traces back to Emery’s willingness to reshape the squad over the course of the year. Our piece on Emery’s squad refresh explains the thinking behind those changes.
The win over Tottenham offered fresh evidence that the approach is working. Emery will want his players to carry that form straight into the October fixtures.
Aston Villa fixtures after international break
Villa’s first fixture after the international break is a home game against Brentford at Villa Park on Saturday 10 October, with kick-off at 15:00 BST. The match falls under the traditional 3pm Saturday blackout, so it will not be shown live on UK television.
The schedule continues with a return to Champions League action at Villa Park and a testing trip to Newcastle United, before Villa host Manchester City and Fulham.
