Monday announcement – Now 6 Newcastle United Live TV matches scheduled until end of February
There have been eight Newcastle United live TV matches so far, including the League Cup match at Forest.
Another four games had already also been moved for the purposes of live TV in January, these being the Premier League games against Man Utd (Home), Chelsea (Away) and Man City (Home), as well as the FA Cup game home to Blackburn – though that last one is only for overseas TV viewers.
Today (Monday 17 December) has seen another two chosen for February 2019.
The Premier League announced last week that they were delaying the live TV games announcements for February until after the European draws (Champions League and Europa League) which took place earlier today.
The two chosen are both away from home, Tottenham moved to a 12.30pm lunchtime kick-off but same day as scheduled.
Whilst quite unbelievably, Newcastle are given yet another midweek game away from home, a difficult trip for the NUFC away regulars on a Monday night.
February’s games now:
Saturday 2 February 2019
Tottenham v Newcastle (3pm)
Saturday 9 February 2019
Wolves v Newcastle (3pm)
Saturday 23 February 2019
Newcastle v Huddersfield (3pm)
Wednesday 27 February 2019
Newcastle v Burnley (7.45pm)
The game at Spurs is also an unknown at the minute in terms of venue, with still in the balance as to whether their new stadium will be ready at long last, or if they will still be at Wembley.
