Five of Newcastle United's Barclays Premier League fixtures in December have been chosen for live broadcast.
Sky Sports have chosen to show the Tyne-Wear derby at St. James' Park as well as United's trip to Arsenal and a festive home fixture with Everton.
BT Sport have selected two matches - the Magpies' Boxing Day clash at Manchester United, and a home game against current top flight leaders Chelsea.
Jose Mourinho's Blues come to Tyneside on Saturday, 6th December, with the match now kicking-off at 12.45pm.
The following weekend, Newcastle travel to the capital to play Arsenal, and while the fixture remains on Saturday, 13th December, it will now kick-off at 5.30pm.
Next up for United is the Tyne-Wear derby against local rivals Sunderland, which has been put back a day to Sunday, 21st December, and will start at 1.30pm, with Magpies fans hoping for an early Christmas present in the shape of three points.
Boxing Day sees Alan Pardew's side travel to Old Trafford to take on Manchester United, and after picking up an historic 1-0 win there last season, it will be essential viewing again this year, and kick-off is 3pm.
Finally, Newcastle complete the calendar year with a home clash against Everton. It remains on Sunday, 28th December, but will be broadcast live at 4.15pm.
