Is Leeds United vs Aston Villa on TV? Coverage details of Elland Road clash as Whites resume survival bid

Leeds United resume their Premier League survival bid with this afternoon’s huge visit of Aston Villa - but what are the coverage details?

Daniel Farke’s Whites began the weekend sat fifth-bottom and just one point clear of the dropzone following back-to-back defeats at Brighton and then Nottingham Forest before the international break.

Saturday’s results, though, featuring fresh boosts for Nottingham Forest and West Ham, have left Leeds in the dropzone on goal difference with today’s contest now acting as a huge game in hand and big chance to climb back up the table.

A draw would take Leeds out of the bottom three and one point clear of West Ham whilst a victory would send the Whites back above West Ham and also Forest into 16th place and level on points with 15th-placed Fulham.

Visitors have won five of last six

Villa, though, will arrive at Elland Road in fine form, Unai Emery’s side having won five of their last league six games, a run which propelled them up to sixth place ahead of the Premier League’s resumption.

Saturday’s results saw Villa drop down to eighth but a win at Elland Road would send Emery’s men fourth.

With the year’s internationals done with, Leeds now face seven games before the end of the year and six of them are on TV, including today’s visit of Villa.

The 2pm kick-off is being broadcast on Sky Sports Main Event, Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports Ultra HDR.

With United’s first three games of 2026 having also been selected for TV broadcast, it means nine of the team’s next ten games are on the box.
