Newcastle United's pre-season schedule is beginning to take shape with the announcement of two friendly games in July.
The Magpies will send sides to Harrogate and York on the same day with Steve Bruce set to split his squad.
The visit to the LNER Community Stadium - the new home of York - would be the first for the Magpies.
A Newcastle statement read: "United have confirmed their first pre-season friendly fixtures ahead of the 2021/22 season, with Steve Bruce splitting his squad to play two separate friendlies on Sunday, 18th July.
"The Magpies will make their first ever visit to the new LNER Community Stadium to face York City with a 2pm (BST) kick-off, as well as taking on League Two side Harrogate Town on the same day (kick-off time to be confirmed).
"York are managed by former Newcastle man Steve Watson and the National League North side moved into their new 8,500-capacity ground - which is owned by City of York Council, and is shared with rugby league side York City Knights - in February.
"Harrogate, who have just enjoyed their first season as a Football League club as well as winning the FA Trophy at Wembley earlier this month, have never played against Newcastle in a competitive match. Their EnviroVent Stadium has a capacity of 5,000."
