Newcastle United's first six Premier League games are set to be broadcast on either Sky Sports or TNT Sports (formerly BT Sport).
The latest broadcast television selections were announced by the club at 10 a.m. this morning and our matches against Manchester City, Liverpool, Brighton & Hove Albion, Brentford, and Sheffield United have all been chosen to feature. The home game against Burnley in gameweek seven was not selected and remains a 3 p.m. kick-off.
The kick-off times for all five fixtures have been adjusted as a result. Here's what our opening to the season looks like now:
Fixture | Date | Time | Channel |
Newcastle United vs. Aston Villa | Saturday, 12th August | 5.30 p.m. | Sky Sports |
Manchester City vs. Newcastle United | Saturday, 19th August | 8 p.m. | TNT Sports |

Newcastle United vs. Burnley | Saturday, 30th September | 3 p.m. | N/A |
(Brentford is still subject to possible movement dependent upon the participation of Premier League clubs in the Champions League the following Tuesday.)
Remember when some people used to say that we weren't a big club? We're bloody massive, man!
