Aston Villa Squad

Full 2026/27 roster · 28 players · squad data current as of June 2026, the summer transfer window remains open until 31 August
Players are grouped by position: goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders, and forwards. The number column shows each player's squad number where assigned. Ages are calculated from date of birth as of 1 August 2026. The nationality column reflects each player's primary international allegiance, and the international column confirms whether they have been capped at senior level for their nation. Players developed through the club's own academy are marked separately. Squad data sourced from FotMob.
💡
How this page works. The squad roster reflects the 2026-27 season, showing each player under their current club. Player statistics in the details panel below (minutes played, goals, assists) are drawn from the 2025-26 season, regardless of which club the player represented at that time. If a player transferred during or after 2025-26, they appear here under their new club but their stats come from wherever they played last season. This gives you the most accurate picture of each player's recent form going into the new campaign.

Roster data is additionally verified against FotMob. All squad information reflects the position at the time of the last site update and may not include the most recent transfers or loan moves.
