Aston Villa Women will play all 11 home Women’s Super League fixtures at Villa Park during the 2024/25 season.
It marks an increase to the five games played there last term, with remaining fixtures including Women’s FA Cup and Women’s League Cup ties taking place at Walsall’s Poundland Bescot Stadium, where they have played home games since 2020.
Villa’s head of women’s football Lee Billiard said: “This is another big step forward and represents a continuation of the progress of our women’s programme at Aston Villa.
“Through the support and hard work of many departments across the football club, we have been able to show Villa Park is a commercially viable venue for us.
“In the times we have played there, especially over the last couple of seasons, it has always created a special matchday experience for everyone involved.”
Last season, Villa’s opening-day loss to Manchester United took place at Villa Park and was watched by a crowd of 12,533.
