Premier League official announcement: First 32 Premier League fixtures including 3 Newcastle United games
The first 32 Premier League fixtures have been confirmed.
An official Premier League announcement on Friday afternoon stating the schedule up to and including 2 July.
This follows a provisional list of Premier League fixtures that appeared in the media on Thursday but which was open to change.
The good news is that none of the three Newcastle fixtures in this initial schedule are at risk of being moved to a neutral stadium.
Also, whilst the Villa game is on BT Sport, the Sheff Utd and Bournemouth ones are on Sky Sports Pick, which means they are amongst the Sky Sports free to air games open to everybody, not just Sky Sports subscribers.
Sunday 21 June
14:00 Newcastle United v Sheff Utd (Sky Sports/Pick)
Wednesday 24 June
18:00 Newcastle United v Aston Villa (BT Sport)
Wednesday 1 July
18:00 AFC Bournemouth v Newcastle United (Sky Sports/Pick)
Still to be officially confirmed is the FA Cup quarter-final. Yesterday’s provisional list of fixtures saw Sunday 28 June listed for Newcastle United vs Manchester City – kick-off: 6pm – broadcaster: BBC (***Now confirmed on Friday 5 June as a 6.30pm kick-off on BBC1).
So if /when that is confirmed, it will mean starting with four matches where only 10 days separates the first game and the fourth.
Premier League official announcement:
The Premier League today confirmed the fixture schedule for the first three match rounds of the resumed 2019/20 season, if all safety requirements are in place.
All matches will be played behind closed doors. All times are BST.
