Newcastle’s Premier League fixtures 2026-27 have thrown them straight into the fire. Liverpool visit St. James’ Park on 23rd August at 4:30 p.m. — a proper test from the first whistle. No gentle warm-up, no kind hand from the schedulers. Just chaos, right from the off.
Newcastle’s Premier League Fixtures 2026-27 Open With a Brutal Run
As if Liverpool weren’t enough, Newcastle then travel to Tottenham on 29th August before welcoming Bournemouth to Tyneside on 5th September. It’s a gauntlet, pure and simple. Furthermore, this comes on the back of a 12th-place finish last season — a campaign where consistency was a stranger and European football remained a pipe dream. Meanwhile, Sunderland finished five places above them and walked into the Europa League. That one still stings on Tyneside.
The first Tyne-Wear derby arrives on 5th December, with Newcastle hosting Sunderland at St. James’. The return fixture falls on 1st May, right in the thick of the run-in. Newcastle have not beaten Sunderland since 2011 — they lost both meetings last season — and that record hangs over this club like a dark cloud. Eddie Howe will know it, the dressing room will know it, and the Gallowgate will absolutely know it.
Howe Backed Despite Gordon Exit and Tonali Uncertainty
Despite the turbulence, the Newcastle hierarchy have kept faith in Eddie Howe heading into this campaign. That loyalty is admirable, though it comes with serious headaches. Anthony Gordon has departed for Barcelona, stripping the attack of one of its most dynamic outlets. That’s a major loss, and replacing that creativity won’t be straightforward.
Then there’s Sandro Tonali. According to ESPN sources, Tottenham, Manchester City, Arsenal and Manchester United are all circling the Italian midfielder. Losing Tonali on top of Gordon would reshape this squad entirely. Howe needs answers in the transfer window — and quickly.
Nevertheless, the festive schedule offers some intriguing home fixtures. Newcastle host Manchester City on 26th December and Nottingham Forest on 30th December, before a punishing January that includes back-to-back Manchester United fixtures and trips to Chelsea and Arsenal.
