Eddie Howe’s side now know they will face Nottingham Forest on the opening day of the season with a trip to Stamford Bridge on the final day of the campaign on May 28.
In between those games are 36 matches that will determine how a first full season under new owners and management will look on Tyneside.
In a strong start to the transfer window, the Magpies have already brought in Matt Targett, Nick Pope and Sven Botman to add to their squad that finished in 11th place last season. But what is being forecast this year? Is it more of the same for Newcastle or are they expected to improve in 2022/23?
Here, courtesy of BonusCodeBets, we take a look at some of the early predictions for the upcoming Premier League season and see where Newcastle United have been forecast to finish next year:
9. Crystal Palace - 12th

10. Brighton & Hove Albion - 11th
Brighton were very impressive last season and finished in their highest ever Premier League position. They have been tipped to match that this season and could even disrupt the top-six if they get things right. Brighton are 7/1 to finish in the top six next season. Photo: Charlie Crowhurst
11. Aston Villa - 10th
