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:
13. West Ham - 8th
Another season of troubling the teams at the top end of the table is being predicted for the Hammers. A top-half finish is very likely, could they push on to threatening the top-four next season? West Ham are 7/2 to finish in the top six next season. Photo: Clive Rose
14. Newcastle United - 7th
After a terrible start to the season, the Magpies secured an unlikely 11th place finish last year and with a summer of investment, they’ve been tipped for a big improvement next season. Newcastle United are 15/8 to finish in the top six next season. Photo: LINDSEY PARNABY
15. Arsenal - 6th
The Gunners were favourites to finish in 4th for a lot of last season, but a stumble at the business end of the season ended hopes of a Champions League return. Arsenal are 2/1 to finish in the top four next season. Photo: Marc Atkins
16. Manchester United - 5th
Erik Ten Hag has a major job on his hands at Old Trafford this season and has to balance Europa League football with domestic success. According to the early odds, the Red Devil’s will have to settle for a spot in the Europa League once again next year. Manchester United are 6/4 to finish in the top four next season.
