Newcastle United History
Newcastle United Football Club are an English professional football club with a massive, loyal fanbase worldwide. They were formed in 1892, when Newcastle East End absorbed the assets of the financially struggling Newcastle West End and changed its name to Newcastle United. NUFC play their home games at St James' Park which has a 52,305 capacity.
Since the club's inception the Magpies have played their home matches at St James' Park. This is one of the oldest football grounds in England, first opening in 1880. Two of NUFC's greatest achievements were in the early 1950s when the club clinched back-to-back FA Cup titles and then followed that up with another FA Cup triumph in 1955.
Over their history, NUFC have won several major trophies including the old First Division title on four occasions, the FA Cup six times, as well as the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup in 1968/69. During the English Premier League era the Magpies have come close to securing the title, famously finishing second twice, in 1995/96 & 1996/97, the first time under much-loved manager Kevin Keegan.
Newcastle United Today
NUFC are now considered one of the richest clubs in the world. The club was sold to a consortium led by the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund (PIF) in 2021. It's a big step up in terms of the funding available to the manager, especially when compared to life under Sir John Hall and Mike Ashley.
Newcastle made a grand return to the Champions League in 2023/24, having finished 4th in the previous Premier League campaign. However, the Magpies finished bottom of their group and thus were eliminated from the competition.
Eddie Howe was the Newcastle manager from 2021 until 2026, before being replaced by Matthias Jaissle ahead of the 2026/27 campaign.
2024/25 proved a momentous one for Howe and the Toon Army. Their lengthy decades-long wait for silverware came to an end when Newcastle United defeated Liverpool in the Carabao Cup Final and the north-east side then also secured a place in the UEFA Champions League for 2025/26.
The 2025/26 campaign was up and down, following the sale of Alexander Isak to Liverpool. The Champions League campaign was ended by a thrashing in Barcelona and the Magpies finished 12th.

Newcastle vs Sunderland Tickets
The Tyne-Wear derby is a local battle between Sunderland and Newcastle United. The rivalry is an inter-city conflict in North East England with the cities of Sunderland and Newcastle 12 miles (19 km) apart. The rivalry stems from the clubs' proximity, their differences in status and cultural differences (Newcastle, like the rest of the north of England, is seen as more working-class; Sunderland has a more middle-class fanbase).
