The next time United are on TV is Friday, September 17, when Leeds United and Marcelo Bielsa come to Tyneside (KO 20:00). That one will also be shown live on Sky Sports.

Games against Aston Villa (a), Southampton (h), Manchester United (a) and Watford (a) will not be broadcast in the UK, although they will be shown elsewhere in the world.

Will Newcastle United be on TV again - and when we will find out?

Newcastle United are usually up there with the so-called ‘big six’ when it comes to the number of games selected for TV audience in a regular Premier League season. So, it’s certain they’ll be shown on BT Sport, Amazon Prime and Sky Sports a number of times before the 2021/22 season is out.

Selected only twice in August and September, and once in October, United will find out when they are on TV in November on September 16. December and January’s live games will be announced on October 11.

What other games are scheduled?

The Premier League season officially starts on Friday, August 13 when newly-promoted Brentford - yes, remember them from the Carabao Cup debacle - host Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal (KO 20:00). This game will be shown live on Sky Sports.
