Is Newcastle United vs Chelsea on TV in the UK?

Fans in the UK can watch Newcastle United vs Chelsea on TNT Sports or Discovery+.

Newcastle Chelsea is taking place in the rather unusual slot of a Sunday 12pm kick-off but it is on TV and is TNT's pick for the week.

TNT Sports 1 is the channel TV viewers need, while Discovery+ is the streaming platform for those who watch online. Access costs £30.99 a month and coverage starts at 11am BST.

Why is Newcastle vs Chelsea kick-off at 12pm on Sunday?

12pm on a Sunday is not a common kick-off time in the Premier League, but it is an option when the game has been selected for broadcast and one of the team's has played in Europe in mid-week.

This game was originally scheduled for Saturday at 12.30pm, the usual slot for TNT Sports' weekly fixture, but Chelsea were playing in the Europa Conference League semi-final on Thursday night, so they have been handed an extra day to recover.

With Sky Sports showing two games as part of the usual Super Sunday from 2pm to 6.30pm, there are two options for makeshift Sunday TV slots to avoid a broadcaster clash – 12pm or 7pm. In this case, both clubs have agreed on the earlier option.
