The Tyne-Wear derby returns to St James' Park for the first time in a decade as Newcastle United host Sunderland on Sunday 22 March 2026. The Premier League clash kicks off at lunchtime, with both teams separated by just two points in the table as they chase European qualification.
Newcastle will be looking to end a winless run against their rivals in the Premier League that dates back to 2010, while Sunderland aim to build on a 1-0 victory in the reverse fixture at the Stadium of Light in December, courtesy of a Nick Woltemade own goal. The Magpies come into the game off the back of a heavy 7-2 defeat at Barcelona in the Champions League.
The match will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Main Event and Premier League. Sky customers can stream via the Sky Go app, while non-subscribers can watch through NOW with a day membership (£14.99) or month membership (£34.99). Radio coverage is available on talkSPORT.
