Check out how to watch Newcastle v Tottenham in a friendly, including TV channel, radio coverage and kick-off time.
The football never ends. After a long gruelling season, Newcastle and Tottenham have decided the best course of action is to jet off to Australia for a friendly clash at the world famous Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG).
Newcastle, who played 51 competitive matches across four competitions, including the Champions League, this season have struggled with injury issues all term but there's no rest for the squad just yet.
The Magpies finished seventh in the Premier League table, meaning they will qualify for the Europa Conference League if Manchester United fail to win the FA Cup final against Manchester City on Saturday.
Tottenham finished fifth in the table, two points short of high-flying Aston Villa, and will play in the Europa League next season.
Newcastle legend Alan Shearer branded the game "crazy" on Match of the Day. He said: "Can you imagine if you're a player who is playing in either the Copa America or Euro 2024 having to do that? Madness. Crazy. I wouldn't be happy at all.
"It's crazy for Newcastle to go and play Spurs there on Wednesday night and then another game."
