No Aston Villa vs Borussia Dortmund hospitality is on sale yet, so register your interest and we will tell you first when packages are released.

Aston Villa come into this as European champions. They won the 2025/26 Europa League, beating SC Freiburg 3-0 in the final in Istanbul on 20 May 2026, their first major trophy in 30 years. Unai Emery has managed the club since November 2022 and is contracted to 2029, and the Freiburg win was his fifth Europa League as a manager, more than anyone else has won. Villa reached this season's Champions League by finishing fourth in the Premier League in 2025/26, a season that included eight straight league wins, their best top-flight run since 1910. Captain John McGinn, goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez and Ollie Watkins, who passed 100 Villa goals in April 2026 and is the club's all-time leading European scorer, lead the side.

Dortmund are one of the more decorated names Villa drew: eight German championships, five DFB-Pokals, the Champions League in 1997 and the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1966, the first European trophy won by a German club. Both clubs have won this competition, Villa taking the European Cup in 1982 with a 1-0 win over Bayern Munich. Dortmund reached the 2023/24 Champions League final in London, losing 2-0 to Real Madrid, and made the quarter-finals the following season. Last season was harder work: they finished 17th in the 36-team league phase on 11 points and went into the knockout phase play-offs, where Atalanta beat them 4-3 on aggregate.

Niko Kovac has managed the club since February 2025. His squad is built around Serhou Guirassy, Dortmund's top scorer last season with 22 goals in all competitions and joint top scorer of the 2024/25 Champions League with 13, alongside Jobe Bellingham, Felix Nmecha and goalkeeper Gregor Kobel. Dortmund bring the biggest travelling name in German football. Their home, Signal Iduna Park, seats 66,099 for European nights, holds more than 81,000 for the Bundesliga, and its Yellow Wall is the largest standing terrace in European football. No club in the world averages a bigger home crowd.

Villa Park hosted European football throughout last season's Europa League run, and Aston Villa have played there since 1897. The ground holds over 40,000, but the North Stand is closed for rebuilding throughout 2026/27, work due to finish by August 2027 that takes Villa Park past 50,000 and keeps it in line as a UEFA Euro 2028 host venue. For this season the closure reduces matchday capacity and makes hospitality places scarcer than usual. Villa Park's hospitality sits in the Holte Suite inside the Holte End and in the executive boxes that run between the tiers of the Trinity Road and Doug Ellis stands. Prestige Corporate Events will not name a package, a seating position or an inclusion for this match until the club and its partners confirm what is actually being sold.

Registering your interest costs nothing and commits you to nothing. It puts you at the front of the queue, and it means the first thing you hear from us is a verified option rather than a guess.

Witton and Aston railway stations are both within walking distance of the ground, with services from Birmingham New Street. Both stations are busy on matchdays, so allow extra time either side of kick-off.

Villa Park has hospitality built for corporate groups, from lounge dining in the Holte Suite to the executive boxes in the Trinity Road and Doug Ellis stands. Tell us the group size you have in mind when you register your interest and we will match it against what becomes available.

Villa Park hospitality is in the home areas of the ground. Away supporter allocations are handled separately by the clubs, so hospitality at Villa Park is not the route to an away allocation.
