Aston Villa Squad Numbers 2026/27
If you unwrapped a 2026 Aston Villa calendar last Christmas, we’re sorry to say it aged badly. Whoever put it together at least hedged their bets, pairing two players on every month bar December.
Already long gone from the calendar were Donyell Malen, Harvey Elliott (seemingly mid-season) and Jadon Sancho, but this summer transfer window saw a mass cull of the 2026 calendar ranks.
Morgan Rogers, Ezri Konsa, Youri Tielemans, Lucas Digne, Evann Guessand, Emiliano Martínez and Mr December himself, Ollie Watkins, have all left Villa Park, taking almost the entire calendar out of date with them.
Of the months still left this year, calendar owners can at least enjoy November, which pairs Boubacar Kamara and Lamara Bogarde together. Of the 12 months, June is the only other one where nobody pictured has left, with John McGinn and Victor Lindelöf both having stuck around.
To replace the outgoing players, Unai Emery and Villa made 10 new signings, so a lot of shirt numbers have new owners this season. The group that starts this season certainly looks different to the one that lifted the Europa League in May and posed for the 2026 calendar. Here’s who’s wearing what for Aston Villa in 2026/27.
