Aston Villa 2026-27 Season Hub
- Aston Villa are Europa League champions. Unai Emery's side beat Freiburg 3-0 in the final to lift the club's first major European trophy in over four decades.
- Champions League football returns to Villa Park. A fourth-place Premier League finish plus the Europa League title means the biggest nights in Europe are back in B6.
- Manzambi is the club-record signing. The £59.5m arrival headlines a bold summer, joining Watkins, McGinn and Martínez at the heart of the project.
- The 2025-26 McGinn 7 shirt is already a collector's item — the shirt of the trophy-winning season — and the 1998 retro returns for the purists.
From Europa League Glory to the Champions League
Aston Villa's 2025-26 season will go down as one of the greatest in the club's modern history. Emery's team combined a fourth-place Premier League finish with a dominant Europa League run, capped by a 3-0 final victory over Freiburg. The reward is a place among Europe's elite: Champions League nights at Villa Park for the first time in the modern era. The 2026-27 challenge is depth — a squad built for Thursday-Sunday football must now handle the Tuesday-Saturday cycle. The £59.5m club-record signing of Manzambi addresses exactly that, adding elite creativity to a core of Watkins, McGinn and the world-class Martínez in goal. Expect Emery's signature structure, set-piece mastery and in-game management to keep Villa punching above their weight again.
2026-27 Kits: Claret and Blue for the Big Stage
The 2026-27 home jersey keeps the iconic claret and blue with sky-blue sleeves in a lightweight, breathable fan fit built for Champions League nights. The standout version is the long-sleeve Watkins 11 shirt — a premium cut for the talisman who has become Villa's most important forward of the modern era. The range covers every member of the family: a kids' home shirt with Manzambi 44 for the new hero, a women's fit with Onana 24, and a mini kit with Watkins 11 for the youngest Holte Enders. The yellow goalkeeper shirt with Martínez 23 completes the set — Emi's saves in the knockout run deserve their own place in the wardrobe.
Collectable Villa: McGinn 7 and the 1998 Retro
Two shirts belong in every serious Villa collection. The 2025-26 home shirt with McGinn 7 print is the shirt of the Europa League-winning season — the captain's number on the kit worn as the trophy came home, and a guaranteed future classic. The 1998 home retro shirt rewinds to the era of European nights under the lights, when Villa Park was the loudest ground in the Midlands. Both sit at accessible price points, meaning you can build a three-shirt Villa rotation — current season, trophy season and retro — for less than the cost of a single match-issue shirt elsewhere.
