A Premier League team will play in Louisville for the first time when Aston Villa visits. The club recently finished sixth in the Premier League and played in the UEFA Champions League for the first time in its current iteration. The Villans won the European Cup in its prior format in 1982, defeating Bayern Munich in the Final.
English international Ollie Watkins led Aston Villa in scoring in 2024-2025, while the roster also included the well-known Marco Asensio and Marcus Rashford. Emiliano Martínez, the 2022 World Cup winner with Argentina, starred at goalkeeper. Aston Villa qualified for the UEFA Europa League for the 2025-2026 campaign.
Eintracht Frankfurt finished third in the Bundesliga during the 2024-2025 season, earning a spot in the Champions League starting later this year. Frankfurt – which is visiting Louisville for a second straight year – boasted stars of the game including young French striker Hugo Ekitike, U.S. international Timothy Chandler and Mario Götze, who scored Germany’s World Cup-winning goal in 2014.
Leganés played 2024-2025 in LaLiga, Spain’s top tier. While the campaign resulted in relegation to LaLiga 2 for the upcoming season, the club registered victories over Barcelona and Atlético de Madrid, among others, while advancing to the Quarterfinal round of the Copa del Rey tournament, where Real Madrid scored a 93rd-minute goal to win.
