The game at the Emirates Stadium will still be played on Tuesday, 3rd January but will now start at 7.45pm (GMT) instead of 8pm.
It will be United's first fixture of 2023, with the Gunners currently top of the Premier League and Eddie Howe's side in third place. It had already been selected for live broadcast in the UK by Sky Sports.
The final tickets from the Magpies' maximum allocation of 3,000 sold out last week.
