Aston Villa open their 2026-27 Champions League campaign away to Club Brugge at the Jan Breydel Stadium on Tuesday, September 8.
The trip comes after a summer in which Villa won the Europa League before their defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Super Cup.
Club Brugge have sold all 24,000 of their season tickets for the 2026-27 campaign, so demand for any tickets that remain is likely to be high. Here is what Aston Villa fans need to know about getting into the game.

Official route: Via Aston Villa
For Villa supporters, the safest option is to buy through the club's official ticketing platform at tickets.avfc.co.uk.
Villa have yet to confirm their ticket allocation, prices, sale dates or eligibility criteria for the September 8 trip, so supporters should not assume that the process will be the same as it was for previous visits to Bruges.
For the March 2025 Champions League last-16 first leg at Jan Breydel, Villa received an allocation of 1,470 tickets, with sales prioritised according to supporters' Champions League attendance history, but that order was specific to the 2024-25 campaign and does not confirm how this season's tickets will be sold.
UEFA's 2026-27 regulations require at least 5% of the UEFA spectator capacity to be made available to visiting supporters, while away tickets cannot cost more than €50.
Supporters should keep checking avfc.co.uk and Villa's official ticketing channels for the club's confirmed sale dates and eligibility details.

Club Brugge home tickets
Club Brugge also sell individual home tickets through their official ticketing platform at tickets.clubbrugge.be, with Club Members given priority access.
The club's 2026-27 membership scheme includes a loyalty points system, while all 24,000 season-ticket places have already been sold, although a limited number of individual tickets can still become available through the official platform.
Villa supporters should stick to the official away allocation rather than trying to buy seats in the Club Brugge sections, as home tickets are intended for the Belgian club's supporters and may come with additional restrictions.
Secondary market
If Villa's allocation sells out, tickets may start appearing on third-party resale platforms, although supporters should be careful, as these sites are not necessarily authorised by either club.
Club Brugge does have its own official ticket resale service at loyalty.clubbrugge.be, which allows season-ticket holders who cannot attend to put their seats back on sale through the club's ticketing system.
Villa fans should check the official Aston Villa and Club Brugge channels before looking elsewhere and avoid buying from individuals on social media or classified websites, where there is little protection if the ticket turns out to be invalid.
