NFL giant Seattle Seahawks has planted a flag in Australia, signalling their intention in the region by linking up with AFL powerhouse Collingwood.
Two days before Melbourne's MCG hosts a historic NFL regular season match between the LA Rams and San Francisco 49ers, the Seahawks and Magpies have announced a strategic partnership that will 'unite two of the world's most passionate supporter bases' via a statement from Collingwood.
The NFL signed a deal with the Victorian Government to play two regular season matches in Melbourne over four years - with an option for a third game.
Seattle have just made it clear to the NFL that they would like to participate in a regular-season match Down Under with their Collingwood alliance, who are arguably the biggest sports team in Australia.

Manchester United's priority during the final days of the summer transfer window was to bring in a left-back.
Their primary target was Lewis Hall of Newcastle United, but the Magpies refused to consider his sale and are now close to reaching an agreement with him over a contract renewal, making it difficult for United to revisit their interest.
However, United's recruitment team have reportedly started to explore other options before the next window opens.
According to Fussballdaten, Borussia Dortmund left-back Daniel Svensson is starting to attract the interest of Europe's biggest clubs.

Millwall host Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup third round on Tuesday, with the Magpies looking to build on an unbeaten start under new head coach Matthias Jaissle against a Championship side finding some form of their own.
Alex Neil's Lions arrive full of confidence after thrashing Bolton Wanderers 4-0 at The Den at the weekend, while Newcastle sit seventh in the Premier League having drawn two of their opening three matches.
Jaissle replaced Eddie Howe as Newcastle's head coach in August and has overseen an unbeaten start despite the summer departures of Bruno Guimarães, Sandro Tonali and Anthony Gordon. He has already been warned about the atmosphere awaiting him at The Den, joking he will be "protected" in his technical area, and is still weighing up how far to rotate his side with a demanding run of fixtures ahead. Tuesday's tie will be the first meeting between the two clubs since 1993, when Newcastle won 2-1.
Date: Tuesday, 8 September 2026Kick-off: 20:00 BSTVenue: The DenReferee: Craig PawsonLast meeting: Newcastle United 2-1 Millwall (April 1993, League Division One)
Millwall have a lengthy absentee list of their own, with Josh Coburn, Casper De Norre, Tristan Crama, Ryan Leonard, Mihailo Ivanovic and Mathis Servais all out through injury. Alex Neil is expected to make changes from the side that thrashed Bolton, with Danny Batth, Jake Cooper and Elkan Baggott possible inclusions in defence and Lyndon ***** s handed a chance to lead the line.

Serie A side Juventus signed Nick Woltemade on loan from Newcastle United late in the summer transfer window. While the German is yet to make his debut for the Bianconeri, big praise has come from Juve legend Gianluigi Buffon.
The Germany international has a frustrating 2025/26 campaign with the Magpies. Ex-Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe often used him deeper on the pitch and this led to a fall in prominence.
A move to Juventus is now viewed as a shot at redemption. Buffon spoke to La Gazzetta dello Sport about Juve's business in the summer and placed special emphasis on Woltemade.
The ex-keeper said: "I'm curious about Woltemade. I want to see if his physicality, his 198 centimeters (6'4") combined with excellent technique, will be as dominant as I expect."
Buffon also revealed belief that Woltemade can make the same impact as Zlatan Ibrahimovic during his younger days.

Newcastle United's search for an additional attacking reinforcement is showing no signs of slowing down, with Matthias Jaissle's side exploring several possibilities as the transfer window enters its final stretch.
Matias Fernandez-Pardo remains the No. 1 target, with Newcastle nearing an agreement with Lille, but the Magpies could have turned their attention toward another versatile attacker from Italy's Serie A.
According to Foot Mercato's Santi Aouna, Newcastle is interested in Roma's Matias Soule and contact between the parties is already underway.
"Newcastle is interested in Matías Soulé of AS Roma," Aouna reported. "Contact is ongoing between the parties."
TEAMtalk's Graeme Bailey subsequently provided further details, reporting that Soule has been added to Newcastle's attacking shortlist alongside Fernandez-Pardo and Stuttgart's Bilal El Khannouss.

Former Newcastle defender John Anderson has a new favourite Magpies player in Amar Dedic following the full-back's impressive start on Tyneside.
After Newcastle beat Tottenham 2-0, Anderson praised a number of the individual performances from Mathias Jaissle's side.
"I'm always cautious," he told BBC Radio Newcastle. "It's only two games in, but there's more encouraging signs than there is negativity, that's for sure."
"Nico Gonzalez came in and had an excellent debut. Anthony Elanga looks like a new player compared with last season, when he came in for a lot of criticism. Yoane Wissa the same. They're like two new signings as well because of the way that they've played in the opening games. Lewis Miley came into midfield and just strolled - he and Gonzalez bossed it in there.
"Defensively, we were worried. I was worried about Sven Botman coming into the season because his form in pre-season had been really poor. But, he and Malick Thiaw are building up a good relationship.

Manchester United manager Michael Carrick reportedly does not fully trust Luke Shaw off the ball. The Red Devils left-back was below par on Sunday despite a 5-2 victory over Ipswich Town at Old Trafford. Shaw had a nightmare and was at fault for Ipswich's opener, struggling to contain Abdul Fatawu. Carrick has made the need for another left-back clear to the Man United recruitment team, and they have to sign one before tomorrow's deadline.
Shaw admitted after the game that he should have done enough to prevent the opener, and the Red Devils cannot afford having only him as their option in such a crucial position. The 31-year-old needs quality competition and not just another cover. Carrick has other players who can cover at left-back in his squad, but Man United need to sign a player capable of improving their squad. They have been linked with Newcastle United's Lewis Hall all summer, but the Magpies have no interest in selling the Englishman.
The Red Devils have just a few hours left in the transfer window to sign a top left-back. It could make all the difference for them this season, and yesterday's result should not paper over the cracks.

Our weekly Premier League Team of the Week is back for another edition. From impressive debutants to players already in red-hot scoring form, we've selected the best-performing XI from the second round of Premier League fixtures. Who made the cut?
Consecutive clean sheets in what has been a dream start to the season forHull City and their new goalkeeper. The Greek international got down low to brilliantly stop Taiwo Awoniyi's effort in a match-winning moment for The Tigers.
A terrific start to his Newcastle career. After two ***** ists in the League Cup in midweek, Dedic was impressive again as the Magpies won at Tottenham Hotspur.
The Bosnian was a brilliant outlet and set up Anthony Elanga's opener after another adventurous run, while staying solid defensively with five clearances, five recoveries and 4/5 ground duels won.
Mukiele made his mark on his return to theSunderland side with a string of defensive contributions as Regis Le Bris' side got up and running for the season with a win. The Frenchman made a massive 14 clearances on route to a clean sheet against Fulham, and did not lose a single ground duel.

Newcastle United earned its first Premier League victory under Matthias Jaissle with a 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur, as Anthony Elanga and Yoane Wissa struck after halftime, while Lukas Hornicek also played a major role in net, producing several first-half saves before Newcastle took control.
The Magpies were the better side to start the game, although Tottenham slowly but surely turned into the stronger side through the whole first half and created the better chances past the midway point of the first frame.
Pedro Porro saw one close-range effort blocked, while Mathys Tel and Jan Paul van Hecke both forced good saves from Hornicek. Newcastle struggled to create clear openings, but Amar Dedic and Elanga showed occasional promise down the right.
Newcastle remained compact enough to reach halftime level, with Malick Thiaw and Sven Botman handling Tottenham's central threats well. Nico Gonzalez, making his debut after joining from Manchester City, also settled quickly in midfield and showed his passing range, though he needed time to adjust defensively.
The game shifted after the break. Just past the hour, Gonzalez launched a superb diagonal pass toward Dedic, whose cushioned header found Elanga inside the box. The winger controlled, spun away from Sandro Tonali and drilled a left-footed finish across Antonin Kinsky and in off the far post for his second goal in two league games.

Newcastle United overcame Tottenham Hotspur to continue their unbeaten start to the 2026/27 campaign.
The Magpies took the lead through Anthony Elanga before Yoane Wissa doubled it to hand Matthias Jaissle's team all three points.
Elanga has finally found his groove after struggling last season following his arrival at Newcastle.
Wissa has also shaken off the injuries and looks like a brand new signing for the Geordies.
However, arguably the most impressive player on the pitch for Newcastle was right-back Amar Dedic, who has been a revelation.

Tottenham have been dealt a cruelly-timed injury blow after Savio was denied a Premier League debut for the club due to a muscular issue.
Savio joined Spurs from Manchester City in an eye-watering £85m deal but got off to a perfect start for the Lilywhites in midweek, coming off the bench and immediately scoring in the 5-0 Carabao Cup win over Charlton.
He was expected to make his league bow for Spurs alongside fellow ex-City team-mate Omar Marmoush against Newcastle in Saturday's late kick-off, but was notable for his absence in the matchday squad.
Spurs boss Roberto De Zerbi has now explained why the Brazilian missed out on the visit of the Magpies.
"We had some bad news yesterday," he told Sky Sports. "He suffered muscular fatigue. The medical staff didn't want to take a risk. I agree with them."

Newcastle United will clash heads with Tottenham Hotspur at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this Saturday as they look to secure a good result on the road in the Premier League. The Magpies managed to earn a narrow 3-2 win over West Bromwich Albion in midweek, which should give them some confidence ahead of this league match this weekend.
Matthias Jaissle will set his players up in a 4-2-3-1 formation and could make some changes to his first XI for this game. We can expect to see Nick Woltemade get the nod to lead the charge for the Tyneside club up top.
Lukas Hornicek will operate in goal for the Magpies after allowing two goals in his last league outing. Sven Botman will resume his partnership with Malick Thiaw at the centre of the Newcastle backline as they try to frustrate the home team during the 90 minutes.
Amar Dedic will fill in as the right-back, while Lewis Hall hopes to give a good account of himself on the other side as the left-back. Both of them will get the license to go forward and express themselves inside the opponent's half.
Fabian Schar will offer cover for the defensive positions on the bench.

Aside from Liverpool's attack, their defensive midfielders are one of their biggest problems.
Andoni Iraola tried playing Ryan Gravenberch and Dominik Szoboszlai in a double pivot against Newcastle on Sunday and, during every single one of the Reds' forward charges, they were left open to counter-attacks.
This is exactly how the Magpies' first goal came about and, there were also many other moments during the clash when Matthias Jaissle's men could've got another one or two goals from their counter attacks.
However, fortunately for the Reds, that didn't happen and they ended up drawing 2-2 with them.
But, again, this was only because of a 99th-minute penalty from Szoboszlai.

#szoboszlai

Liverpool's midfield is one of their main problem areas at the moment.
Sunday's 2-2 draw against Newcastle proved that Dominik Szoboszlai and Ryan Gravenberch can't be relied upon to play a double pivot all season.
The midfield duo were one of the main reasons why Liverpool conceded their first goal against the Magpies as both of them decided it was a good idea to push forward rather than have one of them stay back.
This led to Liverpool's defence being left open which allowed Anthony Elanga to counter-attack the Anfield outfit and bag Newcastle's first goal.
Not only did this outing prove that Liverpool need a new defensive midfielder but, it also outlined why a new number six should be one of their main priorities this summer.

Newcastle United are set to sign Spanish midfielder Nico Gonzalez from Manchester City.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the 24-year-old is already in Newcastle to undergo a medical ahead of a £50 million move from Man City while both sides have exchanged paperwork.
The Magpies have agreed to pay an initial £47m, with a further £3m available in add-ons.
The Spaniard has also given the green light to Newcastle's project, with the club prepared to make him an important player in their squad.
Newcastle are working on revamping their midfield after losing a couple of key players.

Newcastle United are reportedly set to submit their final bid to LOSC Lille in their efforts to sign Matias Fernandez-Pardo (21), according to information from journalist Sacha Tavolieri.
After an initial bid of around €45m was dismissed by the Dogues' management, the Magpies are expected to return to the fray in the coming hours with an increased offer of €60m, including bonuses.
This sum could well prompt Olivier Létang, Lille's chairman – who had not necessarily intended to part ways with the Belgian winger before the transfer window closed – to reconsider his position. However, given Fernandez-Pardo's desire to leave France and the financial incentives put forward by Newcastle in their bid to secure his services, the situation could well be up in the air.
Regarded as one of LOSC's greatest talents, the 21-year-old Belgian international made 41 appearances in all competitions last season, finding the net eight times and providing seven **** ists.

Over the weekend, it was claimed that RB Leipzig had made an offer of up to €33 million, including bonuses, for Lille and Belgium forward Matias Fernandez-Pardo.
However, Sky Germany has since reported that the offer was deemed too low by Lille, who have "bigger offers on the table".
One of these offers has seemingly come from Newcastle, with L'Équipe reporting that the Magpies have tabled a €40 million bid for the 21-year-old Belgium international.
Time will tell whether that will be enough to convince Lille to sell – and whether Leipzig will be willing to raise their offer to that level.
As reported by Sky, Die Roten Bullen will pull out of the transfer if Lille's asking price becomes "exorbitant".

#offer #Belgium #million

Newcastle United have reportedly made a bid to sign promising Belgian forward Matías Fernández-Pardo.
French side Lille are keen to hang on to Fernández-Pardo but according to L'Equipe, the 21-year-old Belgian is keen to leave the club this summer after having previously been linked with a move to Atlético de Madrid.
The Magpies are said to have submitted a €40 million (approx £34.2 million) bid for the player who featured off the bench three times for Belgium at this summer's World Cup.
Fernández-Pardo initially joined Lille from Gent at the start of the 2024/25 season and has since featured 67 times for the club in all competitions, scoring 12 goals and making nine ****** ists.

One Liverpool player felt the wrath of both Andoni Iraola and Virgil van Dijk during the 2-2 draw against Newcastle on Sunday.
Milos Kerkez is now the undisputed first choice at left-back for the Reds after Andy Robertson's summer exit for Tottenham Hotspur, but the Hungarian endured a difficult afternoon at St James' Park.
He was outpaced by Anthony Elanga for the Magpies' opening goal in the first five minutes and struggled to make much of an impact going forward, with his performance criticised by Liverpool Echo reporter Ian Doyle.
In an article for the Liverpool Echo on Monday, that same journalist noted two separate instances involving the 22-year-old which earned him an earful from his head coach and his captain.
Doyle observed how Iraola 'struggled to keep his emotions in check' as Kerkez 'took an eternity' to close down Elanga before conceding a corner kick, with the Basque left remonstrating on the touchline as he was 'not a happy camper – at all'.

Steve Nicol took umbrage with one post-match comment on the stoppage-time penalty decision in Liverpool's 2-2 draw against Newcastle on Sunday.
The Reds were awarded a spot kick deep into added time when Lewis Hall clashed into Victor Munoz inside the box, and Dominik Szoboszlai duly converted to ensure a share of the spoils at St James' Park.
Gary Neville said on co-commentary for Sky Sports that it was the right decision, insisting that the Magpies left-back fouled the Spanish winger and didn't get any of the ball, but the home side's head coach Matthias Jaissle argued that the awarding of the penalty was 'really soft'.
That comment from the 38-year-old annoyed Nicol, who retorted that there's no grey area when it comes to such penalty decisions.
The ex-Liverpool defender said on ESPN FC: "What does that mean? It's either a foul or it's not a foul. If it's a foul, it's a penalty and it's not soft. You can't have this 'soft' nonsense. If you're gonna come out with that…I'm sorry, I don't get it.

Matthias Jaissle has revealed that Manchester United have 'no chance' of signing Lewis Hall this summer.
The Newcastle United manager briefly addressed the speculation following his side's 2-2 draw with Liverpool yesterday evening.
When speaking with the press post-match, former Red Peter Schmeichel told Jaissle (courtesy of ViaPlay): "We (United) are looking at signing your left-back (Hall)."
The Magpies boss chuckled while responding: "No chance. No chance."
In truth, it's what INEOS have known since the beginning of the window – that Hall is considered entirely off-limits.

#signing #manchester

Newcastle United begin the 2026-27 Premier League season against Liverpool, hosting the Reds at St James' Park on Sunday, Aug. 23.
The fixture marks Matthias Jaissle's first competitive match in charge following a summer that saw Eddie Howe depart and Sandro Tonali, Bruno Guimaraes and Anthony Gordon leave the club on their way to greener pastures.
Newcastle finished a disappointing 12th in the Premier League last season and ended their preseason run with three games without a win, losing to Everton and Bayer Leverkusen before drawing with Strasbourg — all of those matchups already managed by Jaissle. The Magpies, however, have avoided defeat in their last four Premier League opening fixtures, winning three and drawing one.
Liverpool also begin the season under a new manager, with former Bournemouth head coach Andoni Iraola replacing Arne Slot. The visitors finished the preseason with back-to-back clean sheets against Como and are unbeaten in their last 13 opening-day league fixtures.
A couple hours before kickoff, it was revealed captain Dan Burn has suffered an injury that will sideline him for a few weeks. Meanwhile, Joelinton will miss the opener for Newcastle with a groin injury, while Tino Livramento remains unavailable with a calf problem. New arrivals Sean Steur, Aladji Bamba and Amar Dedic — the latter of whom will start — will likely play a role on Sunday, while Lukas Hornicek is expected to start in goal as he's done in all preseason friendlies under Jaissle.

WSL Full-Time were informed of the news via an official club press release from The Magpies just a short time ago.
The 23-year-old is a product of the Newcastle United development squad and she went on to make her senior debut for the club in the 2022/2023 season. McQuade was a back-to-back promotion-winner with The Magpies in the FA Women's National League system and she has continued to turn out for the club in Barclays WSL2. In total, McQuade has made 68 appearances for Newcastle United in all competitions.
McQuade will now test herself north of the border with Hibernian. She joins a Hibs side that were SWPL champions in 2024/2025.
After joining Hibs, McQuade told the club's official media team "I'm really excited to be here at Hibs. The opportunity to come here came out of the blue but I knew right away it sounded like a great move.
"I always knew I would make the move to Scotland at some point in my career and Hibs is the perfect club for me to join."

Newcastle United's goalkeeping department has undergone a huge transformation this summer following the arrivals of two new goalies and the departure of on-loan Aaron Ramsdale.
All of that left Nick Pope facing the prospect of beginning the new Premier League season outside Matthias Jaissle's starting XI, if not entirely out of Tyneside, as there have been suggestions of a likely sale ahead of the new campaign.
The Magpies have spent heavily on two younger goalkeepers, paying £25.7 million (€29.8 million) for Lukas Hornicek from Braga and £18.5 million (€21.5 million) for Ewen Jaouen. Pope, meanwhile, has been omitted from Newcastle's last three preseason friendlies while entering the final year of his contract, and Jaissle already acknowledged that both sides were looking for a solution just over a week ago.
Despite all of those signs pointing toward a possible departure, talkSPORT has now reported that Pope has no intention of simply surrendering his Newcastle career and is prepared to compete with Hornicek for the No. 1 job.
"Nick Pope wants to stay at Newcastle and fight for his place, talkSPORT understands," the outlet reported. "Pope's status as the Magpies' number one goalkeeper is in doubt following the arrival of giant Czech stopper Lukas Hornicek."

Newcastle United are preparing for one of the biggest training ground projects in English football after agreeing to buy the 260-acre Woolsington Hall estate for a proposed new £190 million performance complex.
According to The Sun, the Magpies want the site, which is close to Newcastle International Airport and around five miles north-west of the city centre, to become the new home of their men's first team and academy.
Subject to planning approval, the Magpies hope to complete the move in time for the 2029/30 season, with a formal application expected to be submitted to Newcastle City Council early next year.
The project will transform the historic estate while keeping its character.
Woolsington Hall includes a listed country house and large areas of parkland, with Newcastle planning to restore and improve the existing buildings and surroundings as part of the development.

Newcastle United have opened talks with defender Lewis Hall over a new contract.
According to Sam C, the Magpies are keen to tie Hall down to a new long-term contract with improved terms as they look to fend off interest from Premier League rivals.
Newcastle have already been picked apart this summer. They have lost Sandro Tonali and captain Bruno Guimaraes and are in no mood to lose yet another key player.
The Magpies are going through a period of change this summer, with Eddie Howe's exit standing as arguably the biggest departure from the club.
Newcastle have since appointed Matthias Jassle as Howe's successor and are working on bringing in reinforcements to bolster the squad.

Newcastle United are keen on bringing New York Red Bulls forward Julian Hall to the St James' Park club, according to Ben Jacobs. Newcastle manager Matthias Jaissle wants the Magpies to make more quality signings, and the 18-year-old has emerged as a target. However, the Toons will face competition from the likes of RB Leipzig, Atletico Madrid and Hull City for the services of the teenage sensation. Hall has nine goals and four ****** ists in his last 19 starts for the Major League Soccer club and Newcastle admire his huge potential.
The Newcastle target made history after becoming the second-youngest player to make his MLS debut aged 15 years and 190 days in June 2024. Hall became the youngest player to score an MLS hat-trick in May and plenty of European clubs are hoping to lure him away from North America. A move to the Premier League could appeal to the American, who was named in the MLS All-Star last month, and the Magpies will hope to pip fierce competition to his services.
The Toons have lost key players this summer and are desperate to make quality additions before the summer transfer deadline.
They have spent £174 million so far this summer on the signings of Bazoumana Toure, Aladji Bamba, Amar Dedic, Lukas Hornicek, Sean Steur and Ewen Jaouen.
The fans still want more, with Guinea international midfielder Ousmane Diabate closing in on a move from Genclerbirligi.

Newcastle are in talks with Manchester City over Nico Gonzalez, according to The Athletic.
The Magpies are looking to reinforce their midfield following the sales of Sandro Tonali and Bruno Guimaraes to Tottenham Hotspur and ******* nal respectively.
They have already signed midfielders Sean Steur and Aladji Bamba but want to make further additions in the middle of the park.
Newcastle are now understood to have held initial discussions on signing Gonzalez.
Gonzalez joined Man City in January 2025, with the Cityzens short of midfielders due to injuries, most notably Rodri, who suffered an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury.
