Newcastle United will see all six of their opening Premier League games selected for TV broadcast after the latest announcement. Their opening game of the season against Aston Villa was already selected by Sky Sports and remains a 5.30pm kick-off .
It means their trip to Manchester City on Saturday, August 19, will now kick off at 8pm and be shown live on TNT Sports - formerly known as BT Sports. Eddie Howe's side had originally been due to play Pep Guardiola's Premier League champions at 3pm, but kick-off has been pushed back.
The following weekend, Newcastle are set to host Liverpool at St. James' Park on Sunday, August 27, originally a 3pm kick off, but that'll now be shown live on Sky Sports with kick-off at 4.30pm. It'll be a lively affair at St. James' Park with both sides vying for a top-four berth after the Magpies pipped Jurgen Klopp's side last season.
On Saturday, September 2, the Magpies are scheduled to travel to Brighton but kick-off has been moved back to 5.30pm from 3pm and will be shown live on Sky Sports. Roberto De Zerbi's side are gearing up for their first ever European campaign after qualifying for the Europa League alongside Liverpool.
