When Newcastle United arrive for their top flight fixture at the Brentford Community Stadium on Saturday, it will be the 59th ground where they have played Premier League football

The first was, of course, United's very own St. James' Park, where the Magpies kicked off the 1993/94 campaign against Tottenham Hotspur, which was followed by the first away ground Newcastle visited; Coventry's Highfield Road, where Liam O'Brien scored the Magpies' first goal of the season.

Newcastle's first Premier League point was picked up at Old Trafford, Manchester, three days later.

Ten of the grounds on the list below are no longer in existence while there are a number of venues where United have played a team at two different stadia (old and new), and Tottenham are the only opponent the Magpies have played away games against at three different venues.

The full list of 58 is detailed below - and on Saturday it will become 59.

Some grounds - for example, Swindon's County Ground - have only ever hosted United on one occasion whereas Newcastle have made 27 visits to both Anfield and Old Trafford (with Stamford Bridge to follow with 27 next month).

United have of course played at Brentford's new stadium once before, losing a League Cup tie there, behind closed doors, back in December 2020.
