Aston Villa will continue their pre-season schedule with a friendly against Indonesia All Stars at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium in Jakarta on Saturday, August 1. This historic exhibition match is set to kick off at 1.30pm, a time that allows supporters in the United Kingdom to watch without adjusting for the time difference.
How to watch the friendly
There is no mainstream television coverage of the game in the UK, so fans looking for a traditional broadcast on Sky Sports, BBC, ITV or TNT Sports will not find it. Instead, the only way to watch is through VillaTV, the club's official streaming platform. Access to the live stream requires an active Adult Membership or Video Membership, or a standalone match pass priced at £6.99.
US viewers
Supporters in the United States face a similar situation, with no American television network holding the official rights. The exclusive stream is available on VillaTV and can be accessed directly through the club's website or mobile app.
Team news
Aston Villa are dealing with several fitness concerns ahead of the trip. Amadou Onana is sidelined with a long-term knee injury suffered while representing Belgium at the World Cup, while Boubacar Kamara is still working his way back to full fitness. New signing Johan Manzambi is also recovering from an injury, but John McGinn and Evann Guessand have both returned to pre-season training.
Pre-season form
The match gives Unai Emery's side the chance to respond after back-to-back defeats in their previous pre-season outings, against Porto and Real Sociedad.
