Newcastle United vs Nottingham Forest Billets

When and where Newcastle United face Nottingham Forest

Newcastle United host Nottingham Forest in the Premier League at St James' Park on Wednesday 30 December 2026, kicking off at 19:30. It is a midweek meeting during the festive fixture list, bringing Forest to Tyneside for a Premier League test against a Newcastle side playing in front of their own supporters.

Fixtures played in the days around Christmas and New Year tend to have a different feel to a regular weekend match, with both sets of fans often combining the game with the wider holiday period.

St James' Park on the night

St James' Park holds 52,258 and sits above the city centre in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, giving it one of the more distinctive settings in the Premier League. The ground's steep stands are known for generating a strong atmosphere, particularly under floodlights for an evening kick-off.

A late-December Wednesday kick-off means visiting fans should plan travel around the holiday period, since rail and road journeys to the north east can take longer than usual at this time of year.
