Following a tender process that spanned the summer, Newcastle have opted to partner with ProgrammeMaster, whose maiden publication will be on sale against German side FC Augsburg on Saturday, 4th August.

Written and edited in-house, the Magpies’ programme has been an important part of matchday for generations of fans, offering exclusive content from the manager and first team and much, much more.

Newcastle United’s head of media and content, Lee Marshall, said: “We are committed to producing a programme that really adds to fans’ matchday experience, whether they are at St. James’ Park or following from afar.

“Our partnership with ProgrammeMaster is an exciting opportunity for us to build on what is already an excellent publication and we are looking forward to working together over the course of the season.”

ProgrammeMaster's managing director, Lee Berry, commented: ‘We are thrilled to be working with Newcastle United again.

“The fans’ passion for the club is like no other and we will produce a programme that is a must-read.”

The Newcastle United programme adds to the stable of current ProgrammeMaster clients including the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA), World Snooker, Professional Darts Corporation (PDC), West Ham United, Queens Park Rangers, Fulham Football Club, Hibernian, Sheffield Wednesday, Aviva Premiership, Rugby Football League (RFL), England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB), America’s Cup and British Olympic Association (Team GB).
