Newcastle vs West Brom: Carabao Cup Live Stream and TV Details
Newcastle United step back into knockout football tonight, opening their Carabao Cup campaign under the lights at St James’ Park against West Bromwich Albion.
It’s only the second round, but the stakes already feel higher than that on Tyneside.
Kick-off time and venue
The tie kicks off at 7:45pm (UK time) at St James’ Park, with a place in the third round on the line. A midweek cup night, a Premier League side at home, and a Championship club with nothing to lose – it has all the makings of a lively evening.
How to watch on TV in the UK

Team news and selection issues
Eddie Howe has rotation to manage and absences to work around. Joelinton, Dan Burn and Tino Livramento are all ruled out through injury, limiting his options as he weighs up how strong to go in the cup.
On the visitors’ side, West Brom are without forward Tammer Bany, who misses out with a hamstring problem. It’s a blow to their attacking plans as they look to spring an upset on Premier League opposition.
Newcastle know what a deep Carabao Cup run can do for a season’s momentum. West Brom know what a single night like this can do for a dressing room’s belief. Under the St James’ Park floodlights, only one of them gets to push that story on.
