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:
17. Chelsea - 4th
Chelsea finished in 3rd last year despite all their off-field troubles. The early odds from the bookies suggest that they may fall one spot behind that this time around. Chelsea are 8/11 to finish in the top four next season. Photo: Henry Browne
18. Tottenham Hotspur - 3rd
Antonio Conte’s side secured 4th place last season but are tipped to finish one place higher this time around. Spurs are 8/13 to finish in the top four next season. Photo: David Rogers
19. Liverpool - 2nd
The Reds pushed Manchester City all the way last year and are being tipped to do the same next season. Liverpool are 2/1 to win the Premier League. Photo: Alex Livesey
20. Manchester City - 1st
City are being tipped to add another Premier League trophy to their collection next season. The early addition of Erling Haaland has certainly strengthened their claim to be considered favourites this year. Manchester City are 4/7 to win the Premier League. Photo: Michael Regan
