Aston Villa begin their 2026-27 Champions League campaign on Tuesday evening when they travel to Belgium to face Club Brugge. Kick-off at the Jan Breydel Stadium is scheduled for 5.45pm UK time, with the match shown live on TNT Sports 1.

Sports Mole reports that viewers can also stream the game via HBO Max for subscribers with a package including TNT Sports, or through an add-on on Amazon's Prime Video app. Goals will be shared on the FootballOnTNT X account, while highlights are set to appear on the TNT Sports Football YouTube channel afterwards.

The fixture marks the fourth time the two clubs have met in the competition. Their previous three encounters all came during the 2024-25 season, starting with a 1-0 defeat for Villa in the league phase before Unai Emery's side progressed past the Belgian club in the round of 16 with a 6-1 aggregate victory, which included a 3-1 win in Belgium.

Villa arrive in Belgium having collected just one point from their opening three Premier League matches of the new season. Club Brugge, meanwhile, sit third in their domestic table after taking 12 points from five games.

Both teams will be aiming to start their European campaigns with a positive result on Tuesday night.
