When is the match?

The FA Cup tie will take place this Friday (January 26).

Where is it on?

The match will take place at Stamford Bridge.

What time is kick-off?

Kick off is at 19.45.

How can I watch the match?

The game will not be shown live in the UK, but is available via local TV rights holders in other countries.

The match was originally meant to have been played in the Saturday 3pm blackout but it was moved to Friday night due to Fulham playing at home to Newcastle just up the road on Saturday evening, which is live on ITV4. The west London neighbours do not play at home on the same day due to policing restrictions.

Any chance of it being moved to later in the weekend or Monday night was ended by the fact that Villa are back in Premier League action on Tuesday, also against Newcastle, with that match unable to be moved to accommodate this cup tie.

You can watch the best of the action after the game from midday on Saturday on the Official Chelsea website.

Is there a live stream?

Viewers in the U.S. can watch the Chelsea vs Aston Villa live stream on ESPN Plus through the ESPN App on a range of devices.
