Newcastle United travel to Celtic on Saturday for the first official pre-season friendly of the summer. 

While Eddie Howe’s side beat Carlisle in a behind-closed-doors friendly earlier this month, Saturday’s game will be the first time Newcastle fans really get to see their team in action ahead of the 2025/26 campaign. 

Newcastle are playing Celtic in Glasgow as Howe looks to run the rule over his squad in the build-up for a huge season to come. 

Though there haven’t been many incomings for Newcastle fans to get excited about this summer, Anthony Elanga is in line for his debut.

With that in mind, here’s all you need to know about where to watch Saturday’s game.
