Mere minutes after Aston Villa booked its first European final in over 40 years (beating Nottingham Forest 4-1 on aggregate), 4TheFans announced a huge immersive fan park experience at Luna Springs—boasting the biggest screen in Birmingham, a Villa football legend providing analysis, DJs, and much more.

Since then, the Digbeth venue has unfortunately had its licence suspended, but the 4TheFans fan park has instead created the UK’s biggest-ever fan park experience at the Utilita Arena on Wednesday, May 20, 2026. This huge upgrade means there are even more tickets available to join a claret and blue army of thousands.

The UEFA Europa League final will be shown on Birmingham’s biggest anti-glare screen (over 100m of screens), with a world-class sound system. And now TWO genuine Aston Villa football legends bringing the banter, plenty of entertainment, pyro and special FX.

This is as close to a genuine, stadium-like atmosphere that many Villans will come without actually making the final at Beşiktaş Stadium in Istanbul (and it’ll be a whole lot cheaper too). Tickets start from £18.75, with premium seats from £26, as we wait with bated breath to see if Villa can lift the club’s first European trophy since 1982.

The doors will open at Utilita Arena at 5pm for an 8pm kick off on Wednesday, May 20, 2026. Aston Villa will play SC Freiburg as it aims for the team’s first taste of silverware since the League Cup in 1996. Unai Emery has been here many times before, having won four Europa League titles (three with Sevilla, and one with Villarreal).
