On 14 May 2024, the club officially clinched fourth place in the league and qualification to the UEFA Champions League for the first time since the 1981–82 season, when it was still known as the European Cup.[1] This league marked the highest Aston Villa Premier League finish since 1995–96. Their Europa Conference League campaign concluded at the semi-final stage to the eventual winners Olympiacos and signified their best performance in a UEFA Competition since reaching and winning the inaugural European Cup Final in 1982 against Bayern Munich.

This was the first season since 2012-13 not to feature Goalkeeper Jed Steer. He left the club after his contract expired. Steer's departure also meant Villa no longer had a player from the 2015-16 relegation squad at the club.
