Aston Villa vs Viking FK is a 2026/27 UEFA Champions League league phase fixture at Villa Park. UEFA has not confirmed the date or kick-off time, and no hospitality is on sale yet. Register your interest and we will tell you first when Aston Villa Champions League hospitality for this match is released.
Aston Villa arrive in this competition as European champions. They beat SC Freiburg 3-0 in the UEFA Europa League final on 20 May 2026, a first major trophy since the 1995-96 League Cup and the end of a thirty-year wait. Villa returned to the Champions League league phase by finishing fourth in the Premier League. Unai Emery, in charge at Villa Park since November 2022 and contracted to 2029, has now won the Europa League five times as a manager.
Viking FK in the Champions League league phase
Viking FK won the 2025 Eliteserien with 71 points from 30 matches, one point clear of defending champions Bodo/Glimt. It was their ninth Norwegian league title and their first since 1991. That took the Stavanger club into the Champions League qualifying rounds as national champions.
This is the first time in the history of the club that Viking have reached the Champions League league phase. Bjarte Lunde Aarsheim and Morten Jensen are joint head coaches, now in their sixth season together, and captain Zlatko Tripic scored in both play-off legs.
Viking have played an English club once in European competition, and they won it: Chelsea, knocked out of the UEFA Cup in 2002. This is the only 2026/27 league phase fixture that brings Viking to England, and it is the first season since 1999-2000 in which Norway has two clubs in the main stage of the Champions League, Viking alongside Bodo/Glimt.
Villa Park in the 2026/27 season
A ground that holds 15,900 in Stavanger meets Villa Park, home to Aston Villa since 1897 and to the club that won the European Cup in 1982, beating Bayern Munich 1-0. Villa Park is listed at 42,682, and the North Stand is closed for rebuilding throughout 2026/27, so every European night this season runs at a reduced capacity and hospitality places are scarcer than usual. The work is due to finish by August 2027 and will take Villa Park beyond 50,000, ready for its role as a confirmed host venue at UEFA Euro 2028. For Villa supporters it is a European night with a different flavour to the rest of the league phase, and the club plays four home matches in the competition before the end of January.
Which hospitality areas the club opens for this fixture is decided once the fixture list is published. Prestige Corporate Events lists only hospitality it has verified, so tell us now and we will contact you the moment something is confirmed.
