How to watch Hearts vs Aberdeen: TV channel, kick off time and more ahead of Tynecastle corker.
Here’s everything you should know about Hearts’ Premiership home opener against Aberdeen. Hearts will host Aberdeen on Monday night to kick off their Premiership campaign.
Derek McInnes is the new head coach of the Jambos, and his first league test will be against his former club, which he guided to multiple third-place finishes.
That league position is where he hopes to take Hearts in the 25/26 season, aided by a flurry of summer signings and new investor Tony Bloom’s ambitious long-term plans for Tynecastle.

What has Derek McInnes said about Hearts vs Aberdeen?
McInnes stated in his pre-match press conference, “Obviously, we’ve got to improve on what we served up last season.” As a club, we never got exactly what we wanted.
There was obviously an increased demand for European football, but domestically, not making the Cup final or even making the top six. We have a lot to do to make up for last season.
“We’d like to believe that we can be looking for European football in those places and eventually make it to Hampden.” I do not believe any Hearts player, manager, or staff member should be afraid to make that demand. It’s clearly present.
We accept it and must now proceed with the task at hand. We’re not here to mess around. We’re here to try and accomplish something while we’re here.
“I believe that when a Hearts player signs here, they should have those goals. I believe it is exactly what the Hearts fans expect. As I stated when I was announced as manager, all we have to do is try to meet the expectations of the Hearts fans.
I believe their expectations are similar to those we have for ourselves. Moving forward, we hope to exceed those expectations. For the time being, we will refrain from shouting. We’re going to do both this and that. Last season, we never made it to the finals and finished in the bottom six. “There is work to be done.”
