The 1926–27 Football League season in English football was Aston Villa's 35th season in The Football League. There were debuts for Billy Kingdon (223), Jimmy Gibson (215), Bill Johnson, Billy Cook (57), and Joe Nicholson (1).

W. J. "Billy" Smith (1893-1957) was a secretary/committee member of Aston Villa F.C. from August 1926 to May 1934. During this time, this was the equivalent of the modern day manager's position.

Dicky York bagged 13 goals in 43 games in 1926–27. In the Second City derby Villa won both home and away. Arthur Dorrell and Billy Walker scored in the 2–1 victory at St Andrews. Billy Cook, George Stephenson and Dicky York (2) scored in the 4–2 victory at Villa Park.

In September 1926 Villa were beaten 2–1 at Anfield. As the Boxing Day fixture approached The Times tipped Villa to beat Sheffield United following the Villains 3–0 victory over Huddersfield.

Right-half Jimmy Gibson played almost 200 games for Partick before a transfer to Aston Villa for a then-record fee of £7,500 in June 1927. He made 227 appearances for Aston Villa, during which time they were runners-up in the Football League twice (1930–31 and 1932–33) but were relegated in his final season with the club, 1935–36. There were also debuts for Joe Nicholson, Billy Kingdon, Bill Johnson and Billy Cook.
