PSG v Newcastle United: TV channel, online streaming and Champions League league phase permutations explained.
Newcastle United take on PSG in their final league phase match of this season’s Champions League in Paris tonight.
Both sides head into the game knowing that a win would secure their place in the top-eight of the competition and thus progress straight to the Round of 16. Newcastle United will be desperate to do that and remove a two-legged play-off fixture from their gruelling schedule.
PSG, meanwhile, remain determined to hold onto their Champions League crown and know that a win against the Magpies would help set up some favourable draws heading into the knockout stages. Only Arsenal and Bayern Munich have guaranteed a top-eight finish heading into the final round of games.
Here, we take a look at everything fans need to know ahead of Newcastle United’s clash with PSG in the Champions League tonight.

Can PSG v Newcastle United be streamed online?
Yes, tonight’s Champions League match can be streamed online through Discovery +. A month’s TNT Sports pass can be purchased for £30.99. If Newcastle United fail to beat PSG tonight and thus don’t finish in the top-eight of the league phase table, then their play-off game will be played over the weeks of 17/18 and 24/25 February - meaning that a month’s pass would include both legs of that tie.
Saturday night’s game against Liverpool in the Premier League and their trip to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Tuesday 10 February will also be broadcast on TNT Sports. Their clash against Aston Villa in the Fourth Round of the FA Cup on Saturday 14 February will also be shown on TNT Sports and Discovery +.
How can Newcastle United secure a top-eight finish?
Because of their very good goal difference, a win tonight would be enough for Newcastle United to finish in the top-eight. PSG also know that a victory will secure them a top-eight finish and progression straight to the Round of 16.
There is also an outside possibility of a top-four finish - but that would rely on two of Real Madrid, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur failing to win their matches tonight. Defeat this evening for Newcastle United would see them finish outside of the top-eight and force them into playing a play-off match to secure their place in the last-16.
A draw at the Parc des Princes could also be enough to see both PSG and Newcastle United finish in the top-eight, although they would both then be reliant on results elsewhere to fall in their favour. For this scenario to play out, they would need Spurs to be beaten by already eliminated Eintracht Frankfurt and six of Chelsea, FC Barcelona, Sporting Lisbon, Manchester City, Atlético Madrid, Atalanta, Inter Milan and Juventus failing to win their matches.
