Newcastle United host Qarabag in the second leg of their Champions League play-off round tie at St James' Park on Tuesday 24 February 2026, holding a commanding 6-1 lead from the first leg in Azerbaijan. Eddie Howe has cautioned that the tie is "not dead", but the Magpies are overwhelming favourites to progress to the group stage.
The match will be broadcast exclusively on Amazon Prime Video in the UK, with no terrestrial TV coverage available. Subscribers can stream the game via the Amazon Prime Video app on smart TVs, Fire TV Stick, or Chromecast. A 30-day free trial is available for new users, after which a subscription costs £8.99 per month or £95 per year.
For those without a streaming service, BBC Radio 5 Live will provide live audio commentary on DAB radio, MW frequencies, and via the BBC Sounds app. Kick-off is scheduled for the evening, though an exact time has not been specified.
Qarabag, who reached the Champions League knockout stages for the first time this season, face an uphill task to overturn the deficit. Newcastle may rotate their squad given the comfortable advantage, but Howe is expected to field a strong side to avoid any complacency.
