How can I watch Newcastle vs Barcelona in the U.S.? Champions League kickoff time and streaming options

Seven months ago, Hansi Flick’s Barcelona visited St James’ Park and left the Magpies’ fortress with a one-goal advantage in Round 1 of the UEFA Champions League.

The 2–1 victory secured by Marcus Rashford’s brace even prompted rivals such as Anthony Gordon to speak candidly afterward: “We’re not used to players holding the ball like that. We’ve played Chelsea and City before, but they were never like Barça – they’re the best.”

Neither side knew at the time that they would meet again after that September encounter. But when the draw conducted by Ivan Rakitić revealed the bracket, it produced a surprise: Flick and Eddie Howe will face off again, in what already feels like a historic night for Newcastle.

With a place in the last 16 of Europe’s most coveted competition at stake from English soil, fans won’t want to miss what promises to be one of Tuesday’s most compelling games.
