Newcastle United’s 52,719 UEFA dream gets green light with England history beckoning

Newcastle United's St James' Park is set to host four group games and potentially a round of 16 clash at Euro 2028. England could feature at the 52,719-capacity stadium on June 25, 2028, should they win Group B and face a third-placed opponent.

UEFA has maintained ongoing dialogue with Newcastle officials as preparations continue alongside venues for Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, Everton, and Aston Villa. St James' Park previously hosted matches during Euro 96 and has staged eight senior England fixtures throughout international history, suffering just one defeat.
