Newcastle United’s North East location isolates it from almost every other Premier League side with Leeds United their closest top flight rival with just over 100 miles separating St James’s Park and Elland Road.
The Premier League fixture release on Thursday morning confirmed Newcastle’s first away trip of the season will be one of their longest at Brighton & Hove Albion on August 13. Just a 692 mile round-trip.
Only newly promoted AFC Bournemouth, who Newcastle will visit on February 11, 2023, will be a longer round-trip at 705 miles.
Newcastle will amass over 9,000 miles worth of travelling across their 19 Premier League away days over the course of the season.
