During the 1999–2000 English football season, Aston Villa competed in the FA Premier League (known as the FA Carling Premiership for sponsorship reasons).
Aston Villa matched their previous season's solid sixth-place finish. After starting the campaign brightly a run of nine matches without a win dragged Villa down to 15th. However, after that Villa rallied to go 12 matches unbeaten, and thereafter lost only two more games all season to finish sixth. Villa also reached the FA Cup final for the first time in 43 years, but their hopes of winning the famous trophy for the eighth time were ended by a 1–0 defeat at the hands of Chelsea, whose success was achieved in the last game at Wembley before the old stadium was rebuilt.
The season saw debuts for George Boateng (103), David James (67), Peter Enckelman (52), Benito Carbone (24), Najwan Ghrayib (5), and Neil Cutler (1).
