Aberdeen F.C. Games: Fixtures, Results & TV Schedule

Ask any Scottish football supporter who their club’s fiercest rival is, and you’ll rarely wait long for an answer. For Aberdeen fans, that conversation often drifts toward Heart of Midlothian — two clubs with overlapping ambitions, tangled histories, and a fixture list that consistently delivers drama. Whether you’re checking today’s results or planning further ahead, understanding where to find the right information can save a lot of guesswork.

The 2025/26 season marks Aberdeen’s 112th consecutive campaign in Scotland’s top flight — a run that spans decades of changing fortunes, legendary managers, and the occasional title charge that rewrote the record books.

April 2026 games

The run-in to the split always concentrates minds. The April 11 fixture against Hibernian — the final match before the league splits into top and bottom six — typically carries extra significance for European positioning. Aberdeen then faces an opponent TBC on April 25, with kickoff confirmed at 15:00 by the SPFL. The season concludes May 1 with an away trip to Livingston.

Who is a bigger club Hearts or Aberdeen?

The question surfaces regularly in Scottish football forums and pub debates, touching on trophy cabinets, supporter bases, European nights, and the intangible weight of club history.

Fan debates

Discussions on Reddit’s ScottishFootball community tend to focus on Aberdeen fans pointing to the European Cup Winners’ Cup triumph in 1983 under Sir Alex Ferguson — a trophy Hearts never matched. Hearts supporters counter with their own European pedigree and a stadium capacity that dwarfs Pittodrie. The debate rarely concludes because “bigger” means different things to different people.

Historical rivalry

Trophy for trophy, Aberdeen holds the edge in Scottish league titles — the two stars on the badge represent those championship wins. Hearts have never won the top flight. However, Hearts have won the Scottish Cup four times to Aberdeen’s six, and their Tynecastle home sits in a different capacity league entirely.

Both clubs have claimed fans across the north-south divide of Scottish football, and the fixture list consistently delivers when they meet. — ScottishFootball community analysis

What both sides can agree on: the first league fixture of the 25/26 season pits Aberdeen away at Hearts on August 4 — an away opener that neither set of supporters will want to lose.

What is Aberdeen FC’s stadium capacity?

Pittodrie has been Aberdeen’s home since 1900, making it one of Scottish football’s oldest grounds still in continuous use. The stadium sits in the Pittodrie area of Aberdeen, with the Merkland Road railway running alongside — a feature that makes pre-match travel uniquely Scottish in character.

Pittodrie details

The stadium hosts all Aberdeen’s home matches, from league fixtures to European nights and cup ties. Hospitality and official partnership details are managed through arrangements like those with Millennium Hotels, which cater to corporate and away supporters seeking premium access.

For verified capacity figures and any renovations or safety updates, the Aberdeen FC Official site remains the most current reference — though exact capacity numbers from the research inputs lack a verified 2024/25 source to confirm.

Aberdeen FC games on TV and live

Understanding where to watch Aberdeen requires knowing which competition is being played and whether you are in the UK or US market.

Europa League

Aberdeen competes in the UEFA Conference League 2025/26, with the league phase beginning October 2, 2025 at home. European nights at Pittodrie offer a different atmosphere from domestic fixtures — smaller crowds in the main sections, louder acoustics, and opponents unfamiliar to most Scottish fans.

vs Hibernian tickets

The Aberdeen versus Hibernian fixture regularly attracts strong attendance given the proximity of the clubs and their historic rivalry. Tickets for this match and others at Pittodrie are available through the official club ticketing portal, with season ticket holders having priority access before general sale.

US viewers have a simpler situation: Paramount+ holds rights to the Scottish Premiership including Aberdeen matches, plus cup competitions and the UEFA Conference League.

What to watch: the Scottish Cup fifth round brings Aberdeen home versus Motherwell on February 18, 2026 at 19:45, confirmed for broadcast on Premier Sports 1. This represents one of the first confirmed TV fixtures of the season beyond regular league coverage.

Broadcast options differ significantly between regions, with UK rights fragmented across multiple providers while US coverage concentrates on a single streaming platform.

Sky Sports Report on December Fixtures

Six rounds of Scottish Premiership games have been scheduled for December. And although the Dons, along with the rest of the league, have been given Boxing Day off, they will be in action on Saturday December 27 with a home meeting against Dundee United.

World Soccer Talk Editor

World Soccer Talk’s Aberdeen TV schedule has all the information you need to catch The Dons on US TV and streaming.

The pattern emerging from broadcaster coverage confirms that Sky Sports prioritizes high-profile home matches — Celtic, Hearts, and the post-split run-in — while mid-table fixtures slip through to Saturday 3pm slots or go unselected. For US viewers, Paramount+ offers more comprehensive domestic coverage but with different commentary teams and pre-match build-up.

Bottom line

Aberdeen enters the 2025/26 season with a fixture list that immediately tests its ambitions: an away opener at Hearts, a home debut against Celtic, and European competition returning to Pittodrie in October. The two stars on the badge remind supporters of past glories while the current squad faces the reality of a competitive Premiership and limited resources compared to the Old Firm.

For fans planning matchday visits, the Aberdeen FC Official site provides the definitive fixture and ticketing source. For those following remotely, Sky Sports covers the major games in the UK while Paramount+ serves US viewers across all competitions.

The question of whether Aberdeen ranks above Hearts — or vice versa — remains genuinely contested, with reasonable arguments on both sides. What is certain is that their meetings on August 4 (away) and November 22 (home) will draw attention disproportionate to their position in the table.
