Manchester United welcome Newcastle United to Old Trafford for the lone Premier League Boxing Day clash of 2025.

Ruben Amorim’s side had discovered some form in October, but enter the clash having won just two of their last eight league games. United are in dire need of a win, and victory against Newcastle would mark their first Premier League triumph at Old Trafford in just over two months.

Newcastle have also experienced an up and down opening half of 2025–26, languishing mid-table in what can only be described as a mediocre league campaign so far. Eddie Howe’s men, though, will be confident in their chances of claiming a third straight Premier League victory against the Red Devils.

Here’s how to watch the game.

  • Location: Manchester, England
  • Stadium: Old Trafford
  • Date: Friday, Dec. 26
  • Kick-off Time: 8 p.m. GMT / 3 p.m. ET / 12 p.m. PT

United host Wolverhampton Wanderers, who they recently pummeled 4–1, in their final match of the year on Dec. 30. Amorim’s side will then start their 2026 action with an away day at bitter rivals Leeds United on Jan. 4.

Newcastle’s next two fixtures are also on those same exact dates. A trip to Burnley will drop the curtain on the Magpies’ 2025, before kicking-off 2026 at St James’ Park when Crystal Palace come to town.
