For the first time since 1969, Newcastle United are set to celebrate winning a major trophy with their supporters.

Newcastle United, of course, won the Carabao Cup against Liverpool earlier this month, ending their infamous trophy drought.

An impressive Newcastle beat Liverpool 2-1 at Wembley, sparking scenes of jubilation.

Not since 1955 had they lifted a major domestic trophy either, so Saturday’s celebrations will no doubt live long in the memory.

Newcastle have confirmed an open top bus parade, while a fan event has been planned on the Town Moor.

With that in mind, here’s everything you need to know.

Newcastle United bus parade start time

The bus will leave St James’ Park at 4.30pm GMT on Saturday 29 March, 2025.

At roughly 5pm GMT, it will arrive at the Town Moor.

It will then stop at the Town Moor. Once there, the players will head onto the stage.
