Is Tottenham vs Newcastle on TV? Kick-off time, channel and how to watch pre-season friendly

Tottenham Hotspur face Newcastle United in the final friendly of the clubs’ tours of Asia just under a fortnight before the 2025/26 Premier League season starts.

Spurs arrive in Seoul off the back of a narrow win over Arsenal last time out in what was the first north London derby played outside of the UK, while Newcastle lost 1-0 to a K-League XI in Suwon.

Thomas Frank’s side are looking to continue their solid preseason preparations under their new boss ahead of the Uefa Super Cup final on 13 August, while Eddie Howe is still wrestling with a disappointing transfer window in which the Magpies have lost out on most of their key targets and also look set to lose star striker Alexander Isak.

When is Tottenham vs Newcastle?

The match kicks off at 12pm BST at the Seoul World Cup Stadium in Seoul, South Korea.

The game will not be televised in the UK, but subscribers can watch the match on the respective clubs’ own TV channels, NUFC TV and SPURSPLAY.

You can purchase a match pass on NUFC TV for around £6.99, while Spurs only offer an annual subscription to SPURSPLAY, which is £45.

Thomas Frank may be forced to leave out Dominic Solanke and Destiny Udogie once again after the duo missed the win over Arsenal, while James Maddison could feature after sitting on the bench for that one.

Newcastle are missing Isak, while Lewis Hall could sit this match out after an ankle injury and Sven Botman could be rested after also missing the match against the K-League side. Joe Willock also suffered an injury in that match, though the severity is not known yet.
