Newcastle United vs Bayer Leverkusen LIVE streaming, TV channel, kick-off time & where to watch pre-season friendly
The Magpies are preparing for their Premier League season with the Newcastle United vs Bayer Leverkusen match.
Newcastle United will take on German Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen in an interesting pre-season friendly fixture at St. James’ Park on Saturday, August 15, 2026. This is the penultimate friendly fixture of Matthias Jaissle’s men, with a game against Strasbourg to follow before their Premier League opener against Crystal Palace.
Newcastle’s much-changed team has been solid in their pre-season campaign, but their momentum came to a halt in a bruising 3-1 loss to Everton in their last outing. Harvey Barnes’ sole strike was a mere consolation for them, but it did provide them with a test against Premier League-level opposition
Leverkusen, too, suffered a 2-1 loss to Nottingham Forest in their last match. After a poor sixth-place finish in the Bundesliga last season, Die Werkself will need some winning momentum before facing Wehen Wiesbaden in the DFB-Pokal first round on August 22.
