What channel is Newcastle United v Nottingham Forest on? Where to catch the Premier League clash

A win could, depending on results elsewhere, take Newcastle United to FOURTH in the Premier League - although, realistically, that would take some goal difference swing in the 2pm - and the 4.30pm kick offs in the top flight this Sunday.

Possibly more important in the short-term, is that a win would not only restore some faith, after some very poor home performances and results, and also keep the Magpies right in touch in the Champions League race, with some suggestions they’ve taken their eye off the ball after success in reaching the final of the Carabao Cup.

When is Newcastle United v Nottingham Forest?

The game will kick off at 2pm GMT on Sunday, February 23.

The clash is the penultimate encounter of the Premier League weekend, with only Man City v Liverpool to come later that day.

Is Newcastle v Nottingham Forest on TV?

For UK viewers, the game will be broadcast on TV, via Sky Sports. BBC Radio Newcastle will have coverage on the airwaves providing full match commentary. Alternatively, our reporter, Jordan Cronin, will be in attendance, along with myself, Liam Kennedy, with full analysis on social media.
