Newcastle United fans are not happy ahead of their final game of the season against Everton.
The Magpies are preparing for a Champions League decider on Sunday. If Newcastle United beat Everton at St James’ Park, they will finish in the top five of the Premier League and qualify for Europe’s elite competition.
It is set to be a seismic afternoon on Tyneside, with Gary Neville predicting a Newcastle United win.
St James’ Park should be absolutely rocking, with a sell-out crowd hoping to roar Eddie Howe’s side to victory.
However, those supporters without tickets will not be able to watch the game in the UK.
Which Premier League games are on TV on the final day
Ahead of the final weekend of the 2024/25 Premier League season, UK broadcasters have announced which Premier League games they will be showing.
Sky Sports have snubbed Newcastle United vs Everton. Instead, they are going to broadcast Nottingham Forest vs Chelsea and Liverpool vs Crystal Palace.
As for TNT Sports, it has been announced that they will show Manchester United vs Aston Villa.
The other seven Premier League games on Sunday will not be broadcast live in the UK.
Newcastle United fans react to ‘ridiculous’ decision
The decision not to broadcast Newcastle United vs Everton has infuriated Toon fans. They are a key part of the race for Champions League football, yet have been snubbed by Sky Sports and TNT Sports.
Newcastle United fans have reacted to the news on X (formerly known as Twitter), many of whom are stunned to discover that Sunday’s game will not be televised.
One fan wrote: “Is our game on Sunday actually not on TV? Scandalous if it isn’t.”
A second Newcastle fan added: “What a joke from both UK broadcasters Newcastle Utd vs Everton not on TV when we are also in the battle for Champions League is just ridiculous.”
“As if they are putting Liverpool vs palace on TV when they have nothing to play for,” commented a third Toon supporter.
“Not having Newcastle on TV on Sunday is an absolute disgrace,” remarked this Newcastle United fan.
A fifth member of the Toon Army was furious, noting: “This is an absolute JOKE!! Big games that decide European football still on the line and they choose a game that literally means nothing.”
Finally, this supporter asked: “Am I missing something or is Newcastle v Everton not televised? Arguably the second-biggest match? That would be infuriatingly insane.”
The decision to snub the Magpies’ game has enraged supporters, especially as there is nothing on the line between Liverpool and Crystal Palace.
That game has merely been chosen for the Premier League trophy lift, which will take place at Anfield after the final whistle.
