The festive season is in full swing and Newcastle United have three fixtures to contend with.

It’s been a rollercoaster of ups and downs for Newcastle United in 2024 but it’s ended on a bright note with some confident victories.

Eddie Howe’s side have successfully advanced to the Carabao Cup semi-finals and will be looking to push on next year to make 2025 a memorable one.

The year isn’t over yet though and Newcastle have two fixtures to go in 2024 against Aston Villa and Manchester United before 2025 kicks off against Tottenham in a trio of difficult games.

It can be hard to keep track of what game is when and what channels they’re on over Christmas and new year, so here’s your handy guide for every match in one place.
