The 1962–63 English football season was Aston Villa's 64th season in The Football League. Villa played in the First Division. Winning the League Cup in 1961 had been the recent pinnacle for the club. Decline would see them finish in 15th place in 1963. The Big Freeze of 1962–1963, was one of the coldest winters on record and greatly affected Villa's season. Football matches in the English and Scottish leagues suffered because of the severe effects of the winter weather. Some matches in the FA Cup were rescheduled ten or more times. Matches in the fifth and sixth rounds, scheduled for 16 February and 9 March respectively, were played on 16 and 30 March. A board known as the Pools Panel was set up to adjudicate postponed matches to provide the football pool results. From 15 December to 12 January, Villa completed no competitive matches. The delays occurred before under-soil heating became widespread at major venues. When the thaw arrived, a backlog of fixtures had to be hastily determined. The Football League season was extended by four weeks from its original finishing date of 27 April. The final league fixtures took place one day before the rescheduled FA Cup final. In the Second City derby both teams won their home fixture. There were debuts for Lew Chatterley (153), Phil Woosnam (106), Cammie Fraser (33), John Gavan (12), and George Graham (8).
