What TV channel is Newcastle United vs Aston Villa on and how can I watch it?

Newcastle United continue their Premier League return this evening when they welcome Aston Villa to St James' Park.

The Magpies had been out of action for over three months after English football was suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic but returned in style on Sunday as they beat Sheffield United 3-0.

Goals from Allan Saint-Maximin, Matt Ritchie and Joelinton secured a comprehensive win on home soil - albeit behind closed doors - and they will be hopeful of a similar success on Tyneside this evening.

They take on an Aston Villa side who are embroiled in a relegation battle and arrive to the North East in desperate need of three points that will lift them out of the bottom three.

Dean Smith's men drew 1-1 with Sheffield United on their return to action last Wednesday but were beaten 2-1 by Chelsea on Sunday - despite taking the lead through Kortney Hause' first-half strike.

All Premier League games are available to watch on television between now and the end of the season so despite fans not being allowed into stadiums, they can still follow all of the action from their sofas.

The remaining matches will be spread between the Premier League's UK broadcast partners - Sky Sports, BT Sport, Amazon Prime Video and BBC - with 33 of the final 92 games available on free-to-air TV.

However, the clash between the Magpies and the Villans is not one of those available on freeview and will be broadcast live on BT Sport 1 (Sky channel 413, BT TV or Talk TV channels 408 or 430 and Virgin TV channel 527).

Coverage begins at 5:45pm with the action getting under way at 6pm.
