About Newcastle United
Newcastle United were founded in 1892 and won four league titles and six FA Cups before the Second World War, a golden age that gave way to a long wait for silverware. St James' Park, in the centre of the city, has been their home throughout.
The 2021 takeover by a Saudi Public Investment Fund-led consortium reshaped the club. In 2025 they beat Liverpool at Wembley to win the Carabao Cup, a first major domestic trophy in 70 years, and returned to the Champions League.

Recent form
Twelfth in 2025/26, their lowest under Eddie Howe, after selling Alexander Isak to Liverpool for £125m and cashing in on Anthony Gordon and Sandro Tonali. Still fierce at St James' Park, leaky on the road, with Bruno Guimarães now the spine.
