Watch Aston Villa v Brentford on BBC with Conor McNamara and Steve Stone
The 10 October 2026 clash between Aston Villa and Brentford in the English Premier League kicks off at 15:00 UK time, and there is plenty of coverage to follow it from start to finish. The main commentary runs across the BBC, with Conor McNamara taking the lead alongside Steve Stone as co-commentator, and the pair will also be heard on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra and the BBC Sounds APP and BBC Sport Online audio feed. For those who prefer to watch rather than listen, the visual broadcast is carried by the USA Network App and USA Network HD, presented by Rebecca Lowe with pundits Robbie Earle, Robbie Mustoe and Tim Howard. The story of the match itself is covered by reporters across several outlets, including Laura Kenyon on the BBC Final Score, Maz Farookhi on BBC Radio 5 Live, Daz Hale across BBC Radio WM and the BBC audio platforms, Rebecca Lowe on the USA Network, and on talkSPORT through Sean Dyche and Alex Crook, with Jackson Cole providing the commentary on talkSPORT International.
The BBC commentary
The backbone of the coverage is the BBC commentary, where Conor McNamara once again takes the mic. He has been a fixture of the commentary for several seasons now, working regularly alongside a rotating roster of partners and appearing across both the BBC channels and the world feed. This season he has been paired with a wide range of partners in matches from Fleetwood Town v Everton through to Tottenham Hotspur v Burnley, and he continues to be one of the most consistent voices in the room. He shares the commentary here with Steve Stone, who is acting as co-commentator.
Steve Stone brings a long pedigree to the mic. A former player, he has since become a professional football coach and is currently the first team coach at the Premier League club Nottingham Forest. Whilst with Forest he won the First Division title and played in the UEFA Cup, and he also featured in the 2000 FA Cup final for Aston Villa. His career wrapped up with a brief spell in the Football League with Leeds United, and his presence as co-commentator ties a player who has been involved with both of this season's teams over his lifetime.
Reporters and the visual feed
The match is reported live by a string of journalists picking up the action on the ground. Laura Kenyon is on the BBC Final Score, and she has a reputation as a women's-tribute-hourding reporter for BBC Sport news, having worked across the BBC Final Score and 5 Live feeds in previous seasons. Maz Farookhi covers BBC Radio 5 Live, and he is a sport-news commentator for the BBC Sport and BBC world service who has been frequently paired with Conor McNamara in the past. Both bring a journalistic rather than commentary role, filing play-by-play accounts of what happens on the field.
For the visual side of things, Rebecca Lowe presents the USA Network App and USA Network HD broadcast, backed by the pundits Robbie Earle, Robbie Mustoe and Tim Howard. talkSPORT carries the reporting through Sean Dyche and Alex Crook, while Jackson Cole takes the commentary on talkSPORT International. Daz Hale rounds out the coverage as presenter on BBC Radio WM and across the BBC Sounds APP and BBC Sport Online audio platforms, where Conor McNamara and Steve Stone also deliver the commentary.
