Newcastle United v Liverpool: beIN Sports coverage and streaming options confirmed

Newcastle United begin the 2026-27 Premier League season at St James’ Park against Liverpool on Sunday, 23 August, in a match that will also mark the start of new managerial eras for both clubs.

The game is scheduled to kick off at 18:30 Saudi Arabia time and 19:30 in the United Arab Emirates. It will be broadcast on beIN SPORTS HD 1 with Arabic commentary, while viewers wanting to watch online can use the TOD TV and beIN CONNECT platforms.

Newcastle’s match will be the first competitive fixture under German manager Matthias Jaissle, who is 38 and has taken charge of the club at the beginning of the new campaign.

Jaissle inherits a side that has lost three prominent players during the summer transfer window. Anthony Gordon has moved to Barcelona, Sandro Tonali has joined Tottenham and Bruno Guimaraes has signed for Arsenal.

Liverpool are also entering a new chapter. Spanish manager Andoni Iraola has arrived at Anfield from Bournemouth, replacing Dutchman Arne Slot. Slot was dismissed following what the source describes as a disappointing season.

Despite the changes on both sides, Liverpool hold a significant historical advantage in this fixture. They have avoided defeat in their past 19 Premier League meetings with Newcastle United, winning 14 and drawing five.

Liverpool’s recent record at St James’ Park is similarly impressive. They have not lost in their last nine Premier League visits to Newcastle, recording six victories and three draws during that run.

The match takes place on Sunday, 23 August 2026, at St James’ Park. Kick-off is set for 18:30 in Saudi Arabia and 19:30 in the UAE.

With Newcastle starting life under Jaissle after a summer of major departures, and Liverpool beginning the post-Slot era with Iraola in charge, the opening-day contest will provide an early indication of how quickly both teams can adapt to their new structures.
