Newcastle United will wrap up their preseason with a big friendly against Atlético Madrid at St James’ Park on Saturday, 9 August 2025. For Eddie Howe’s team it’s the last chance to get match-sharp before the Premier League starts in a few days.

Newcastle haven’t won a pre-season game, drawing with Tottenham before a 2-2 result against Espanyol at St James’ Park last night, and will be hoping to rectify things quickly against Atletico Madrid, a team they have never played before. The match will take place on Saturday 9 August at St James’ Park, with kickoff at 4pm BST.
