Premier League CEO Richard Masters announces Newcastle United news for 2023-24 season

Newcastle United are heading to the USA in July as part of the Premier League’s first-ever American pre-season tournament.

The Premier League Summer Series - including Newcastle, Aston Villa, Brentford, Brighton & Hove Albion, Chelsea and Fulham - takes place at five East Coast locations between July 22 and 30.

Eddie Howe’s side face Aston Villa at Lincoln Financial Field (Sunday, July 23) - the impressive home of Philadelphia Eagles - before Darren Eales and Miguel Almiron return to Atlanta to take on Chelsea at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium (Monday, July 26). United then round-off their tour against Brighton at the Red Bull Arena in New Jersey (Wednesday, April 28.)

“We look forward to taking the squad to the United States as part of the Premier League Summer Series,” Howe said. “We know the quality of opposition will be strong, and the matches will be highly competitive as we prepare for next season.

“It’s also a great opportunity to be close to our amazing fans in North America. We are blessed to have incredible support wherever we go, and we look forward to the opportunity to play in front of them at three great stadiums.”

Premier League Chief Executive Richard Masters said: “We are delighted to be bringing six clubs to the USA in July for the first-ever Premier League Summer Series tournament.

“Our clubs have incredible supporters in the US, who passionately follow their teams throughout the season. We have seen this dedication first-hand from the tens of thousands who have attended our Mornings Live fan events and are excited to be building on this by bringing live Premier League action to five cities this summer.

“We are currently enjoying one of the most competitive Premier League seasons of all time at both ends of the table and I am sure we will see some thrilling matches during the tournament.”
