      by

      Fans will be able to watch more games than ever before
      It means Sky Sports alone will show 215 games a season – with big changes to the Sunday schedule.
      Sky Sports currently show two matches on most Super Sundays – one 2pm kick-off and another at 4:30pm.
      That has led to some disgruntled viewers with fans sometimes critical of the selection – just last Sunday some felt West Ham vs Crystal Palace was the wrong TV pick.
      But such frustrations will soon be a distant memory as Sky Sports will show every match on Sunday with a multi-screen option available for the 2pm kick-offs.

      That means every match shown outside the Saturday 3pm blackout will be televised.
      Sky Sports will also broadcast every match on the final day of the season for the first time starting in the 2025/26 campaign.
      A total of 267 Prem games will be shown live with TNT Sports sharing the rights. Amazon Prime have missed out on one of the five packages available.
      That means it could be cheaper for fans to watch the top flight at home – another win for the viewer.

      Laura Woods left talkSPORT for TNTCredit: PA
      But he is already back in the frame after replacing Woods – now with TNT Sports – on the radio breakfast show.
      On his first morning, Stelling said: “I have to say it is great to be here.
      “I’ve been a fan of the talkSPORT breakfast show since the days of Alan and Ronnie Irani and Beaky and Mike Parry.
      “I’m following in some big footsteps as well, those of Laura, but luckily I have the best co-host in the business! Alongside me, Ally (McCoist).”

      Woods spent three years at talkSPORT but left to join TNT’s revamped team.
      So it left a gap to fill which Stelling gladly jumped into – as it meant keeping his 25 and 23-year-old sons off his back.
      He told SunSport: “I want to say to people that I am not retired. I am just doing something a bit different.
      “My sons, who are 25 and 23, keep collecting fliers from the care homes in Winchester, adverts for stairlifts and things like that.

      “A subtle hint maybe, but I want to show them there is still a bit of life yet.” 
      Former Scottish international McCoist beamed as he welcomed his new colleague on to the show.
      But Stelling hilariously said: “I promise not to shout excitedly every couple of minutes!
      “I promise not to spout stats at you non-stop even on a weekend when Newcastle have beaten Manchester United for a third consecutive time – the first time that has happened since 1922!
      “When Brighton have scored for a 30th consecutive Premier League game in a row and when Leeds United have been drawn away from home in the FA Cup for a 13th consecutive time!

      One wrote: “I thought they had been lazy and used the same linesman model like FIFA 98 in this match but it’s twins.”

      The Red Devils gave up a two-goal lead TWICE against Galatasaray in a dramatic 3-3 draw on Wednesday night.
      Meanwhile, Newcastle were on the end of a controversial VAR decision, which led to Kylian Mbappe stealing a point from the penalty spot for PSG in the 98th minute.
      Man Utd are the form side in the Premier League, dropping just two points from the last six games, while the Magpies will be hoping to build on their 4-1 romping against Chelsea in their last top-flight outing.
      Why is Newcastle vs Man Utd an 8pm kick-off?
      Saturday night’s huge Premier League showdown between Newcastle and Man Utd was initially scheduled to kick-off at 3pm GMT on December 2nd.
      READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
      The game was later moved after the mouth-watering fixture was selected for TV broadcast.
      TNT Sports have the rights to the game and they usually take the 12.30pm slot on Saturday – but they were forced to change to the 8pm space due to both side’s European commitments in the week leading up to the game.
      Newcastle and Man Utd played in the Champions League on Tuesday and Wednesday night respectively, meaning they would be unable to fulfil the fixture in the 12.30pm kick-off slot as they wouldn’t have been allowed enough recovery time.
      How can I watch Newcastle vs Man Utd?

      Newcastle vs Manchester United will be broadcast LIVE on TNT Sports 1 in the UK.
      Coverage is scheduled to commence from 7pm GMT – a whole hour before kick-off.
      Fans can head to discovery+ to stream the entire action.
      Alternatively, SunSport will have minute-by-minute coverage of the Premier League encounter through our live blog.
