Newcastle United vs. Everton: Kickoff Time, Venue, Team News and How to Watch

Updated November 2, 2026, before kickoff. Newcastle United are scheduled to host Everton in Premier League Matchweek 9 at St. James’ Park on Monday, November 2. The match is listed for 8:00 p.m. Greenwich Mean Time (GMT, UTC+00:00), or 20:00 UTC. The fixture, venue, UK broadcaster and referee are confirmed in official league and club information. Everton’s latest published injury update said Jarrad Branthwaite was expected to be available; that was a forecast, not confirmation of his selection. Newcastle has also announced a Remembrance Day ceremony before kickoff, so supporters attending should plan to take their seats early.

When does Newcastle vs. Everton kick off?

The scheduled kickoff is 8:00 p.m. GMT on Monday, November 2, 2026. That is 20:00 UTC. Newcastle’s match page shows the event at 20:00, and the Premier League’s fixture list gives the same date and time. Newcastle’s fixture amendment notice says the match was moved from its original Saturday, October 31 slot to Monday, November 2.

For people following the fixture from another country, convert from 20:00 UTC using the time zone in effect at that location on November 2. The United Kingdom returned to GMT when clocks went back on October 25, 2026, so the local Newcastle kickoff is GMT (UTC+00:00), not British Summer Time (BST). Older calendars may still show October 31; check the current league or club listing before making plans.

Where can you watch the match?

The Premier League fixture release and Newcastle United’s rescheduling notice both list Sky Sports for UK coverage. Sky’s own Premier League schedule lists the broadcast on Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports Main Event, with programming shown from 6:30 p.m. UK time. That is the broadcaster’s schedule listing; the match itself remains scheduled to kick off at 8:00 p.m. GMT.

Broadcast rights differ by territory. Viewers outside the UK should check the Premier League’s official match coverage and the licensed broadcaster in their country for confirmation of the channel or streaming service. A subscription or listing that covers other league matches does not by itself establish that this fixture is available in a particular region.

Supporters attending in person should use Newcastle United’s official match page for stadium information and its ticket service for current availability and entry guidance. The fixture listing does not confirm that tickets remain on sale. The club gives the stadium address as St. James’ Park, Strawberry Place, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 4ST.

What team news is confirmed?

Everton’s October 30 update said defender Jarrad Branthwaite was expected to be available for the Monday league match after missing the previous two games under concussion protocols. Manager David Moyes said he expected Branthwaite to have recovered and completed the required timescale. The club also cautioned that players would need to be assessed after the Thursday cup match. “Expected to be available” is not a guarantee that Branthwaite will start or appear.

The official club and league pages checked for this pre-match update do not yet publish either Premier League starting lineup. Newcastle’s confirmed Carabao Cup lineup from the previous meeting is for a different competition and should not be treated as its league XI. The club’s latest material for this league fixture confirms the officials and matchday ceremony, but does not add a new player-availability or suspension confirmation. Check the clubs’ official channels and the Premier League match center for team sheets closer to kickoff. No final score is available before the match is played.

Who are the match officials?

Newcastle United’s official appointment notice names John Brooks as referee. The assistants are Nick Greenhalgh and Steve Meredith, Bobby Madley is the fourth official, Paul Howard is VAR, and Stuart Burt is assistant VAR. The referee appointment is useful match information, but it does not change the kickoff schedule or confirm anything about either team’s player availability.

Is there a pre-match ceremony at St. James’ Park?

Yes. Newcastle announced that the Everton home fixture will include a Remembrance Day tribute before kickoff. Local service personnel will join both teams on the pitch; wreaths will be laid in the center circle, followed by a minute’s silence during which The Last Post will be played. The club has encouraged fans to take their seats early so they can participate. Newcastle players are also set to wear shirts displaying poppies, which will later be auctioned to raise funds for the Royal British Legion.

Supporters in the East Stand have been invited to take part in a card display organized by fan group Wor Flags. These are matchday arrangements announced by Newcastle, not changes to the match time. Anyone attending should follow the club’s latest stadium instructions and allow time to be seated before the ceremony.

How does the recent cup result relate to this fixture?

Newcastle and Everton met at Hill Dickinson Stadium in the Carabao Cup fourth round on Thursday, October 29. Everton won that separate match 3–1, with goals from James Garner, Hayden Hackney and Thierno Barry; Dan Burn scored Newcastle’s late goal. The cup result does not count in the Premier League table and does not determine the result of Monday’s league match at St. James’ Park. It also does not confirm Monday’s starting lineups.
