Fixture list 23/24: Aston Villa to kick off Premier League campaign at Newcastle
Villa will kick-off on the road for the 11th time in 13 seasons when they head to Newcastle on the opening day of the new Premier League campaign.
The match at St James’s Park will kick-off at 5.30pm on Saturday, August 12 for live broadcast on Sky Sports and is an early season clash between two clubs who will expect to challenge in the top half of the table again.
For the second year running, Villa then host Everton in their opening home match of the season on Saturday, August 19.
It is the only league match scheduled at Villa Park for the first month of the season with Unai Emery’s team heading to Burnley on Saturday, August 26 and Liverpool on Saturday, September 3. Both of those fixtures are likely to be moved back 24 hours due to Villa’s involvement in the play-off round of the Europa Conference League. More fixtures are likely to be moved to Sunday should Villa progress through to the group stage of the competition.
The first West Midlands derby of the season takes place on October 7 when Villa face Wolves at Molineux, with the return fixture at Villa Park pencilled in for March 30.
A typically busy festive period sees Villa host Sheffield United on December 23 before travelling to Manchester United on Boxing Day. Emery’s men then host Burnley in their final match of 2023 on December 30.
The trip to Everton on January 13 is the final Premier League fixture before the mid-season break with Villa resuming their campaign at home to Newcastle on January 30.
Villa play their final home match of the season against Liverpool on May 11, before a final day trip to Crystal Palace on May 19.
