How to watch Brentford v Aston Villa: kick-off time, TV channels and streams
The first game of the League Cup has seldom been cause for intrigue for Aston Villa supporters in recent years. This is different.
Villa have started the season in dreadful form and anyone who’s seen every minute of it will likely agree that they’re lucky to have two Premier League points after a quartet of stinking performances.
So, unusually, there’s a lot riding on their Carabao Cup third round tie away at Brentford, where they’ve already lost in the league 2025-26.
Manager Unai Emery needs to tick a few boxes before Villa head off to Sunderland in the Premier League on Sunday.
He needs a win, first and foremost, and the goals that will get him there. He needs the karmic correction of a win at the Gtech Community Stadium soon after that defeat. He needs a performance.
He needs to make changes to the team not just because it’s the League Cup, but because the team needs changes and there’s no better time for an inexplicably risk-averse manager to try those changes out.
This shouldn’t be a big game. It has become one.
What time does Brentford v Villa kick off?
Having been chosen for live television coverage, Villa’s second trip to Brentford of the season will occupy the later kick-off time on Tuesday.
Brentford v Villa will kick off at 8.00pm on Tuesday 16th September.
Where to watch Brentford v Villa in the UK
Villa’s second visit to the Gtech of the season has been selected by a presumably regretful Sky Sports and will be broadcast live on Tuesday night on Sky Sports Football and Sky Sports Main Event.
You can also watch via NOW TV and Sky Sports’ various apps and streaming options, if you must, though our honest recommendation is to watch a Champions League match instead. Do yourself a favour.
