How to watch Aston Villa v Lille in the UK: kick-off time, live streams and TV channels
Aston Villa continue their 2025/26 Europa League campaign with the second leg of their round of 16 tie against Lille on Thursday.
Villa won 1-0 at Lille in the first leg, giving them a slender advantage in the battle for a place in the quarter-finals of the Europa League. A spectacular headed goal from striker Ollie Watkins won the away leg for Villa, who now need a draw at Villa Park to book their place in the last eight.
Unai Emery will expect his team to go through with a little more of a strut than that, but recent form suggests that simply getting through the round of 16 will be enough.
What time does Villa v Lille kick off?
One of this week’s Europa League fixtures will be played between Braga and Ferencvaros on Wednesday, with the other seven divided between the usual two time slots on Thursday evening.
Among the three 5.45pm kick-offs is Nottingham Forest’s away leg at Midtjylland, where they’ll attempt to overturn a 1-0 deficit from the first leg last week.
Villa will feature in one of four 8.00pm kick-offs along with Porto v Stuttgart, Real Betis v Panathinaikos and Roma v Bologna, where the score is 1-1 and the outcome will hopefully be of some significance to Emery and his team.
Villa v Lille will kick off at 8.00pm on Thursday 19th March.
