How to watch Manchester United vs Newcastle: TV channel and live stream for Premier League today

In a monumental change, most matches will be played on December 27 this term, although United will take on the Magpies at Old Trafford this evening.

Ruben Amorim’s side are out to right the wrongs of their 2-1 defeat by Aston Villa last time out, while the Toon are looking to go one better after drawing with Chelsea in their most recent outing.

Both sides have been disappointing by their respective standards in the league this season, with the Red Devils seventh and Newcastle 11th.

The home side will be without their talismanic captain Bruno Fernandes, who limped off in the defeat at Villa Park last weekend.

After this game, United host Wolves before two short but tricky trips to Leeds United and Burnley to see in the new year.

Newcastle, meanwhile, visit Turf Moor before hosting Crystal Palace in their opening fixture of 2026.

TV channel: In the UK, the game will be televised live on Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports Main Event, with coverage starting at 7pm GMT on the former and 7:30pm on the latter.
