The picks are among the latest to be confirmed by Sky, who are already screening Town’s home matches against Brighton and Hove Albion on Thursday, February 2 (7.45) and Leeds United on Sunday, February 5 (12.00).

Town’s home clashes against Sheffield Wednesday and Wigan Athletic and their game at Norwich City have already been broadcast live.

Newcastle’s visit will be their first for a competitive meeting since May 1984, when the second-tier showdown at Leeds Road finished 2-2.

The Magpies were promoted.

There have been pre-season friendlies against Newcastle at the John Smith’s Stadium in 2009 (Town lost 1-0) and 2014 (2-2).

Town were 2-1 winners at St James’ Park back in August, when Nahki Wells and Jack Payne scored.
