Newcastle v West Ham live stream, Sky Sports, Sunday 15 August, 2pm BST
Looking for a Newcastle v West Ham live stream? You've come to the right place!
Newcastle and West Ham get the first Sunday of the 2021/22 Premier League season underway when they meet at St. James' Park.
After flirting with relegation, Newcastle rallied to finish 2020/21 strongly, and Steve Bruce will be hoping that that gives his side some momentum heading into the new campaign.
West Ham, meanwhile, enjoyed their strongest campaign since 1998/99, finishing sixth and just two points off Champions League qualification. Can David Moyes continue his fine transformation of the Hammers' fortunes?
Joe Willock became Newcastle's first signing of the summer on Friday but won't be available for this game, but Freddie Woodman - a U20 World Cup winner with England in 2017 - is set to make his debut between the sticks, as Karl Darlow and Martin Dubravka miss out through Covid and a foot problem respectively.
Callum Wilson could well start up front alongside the always entertaining Allan Saint-Maximin for the Magpies.
Angelo Ogbonna, Arthur Masuaku and Manuel Lanzini are all doubts for West Ham, but they have kept hold of all of their stars from last season (with the exception of super-loanee Jesse Lingard, who's returned to Manchester United).
Lukasz Fabianski should start in goal - although Alphonse Areola has come in on loan from PSG to provide competition - while Michail Antonio looks set to lead the Hammers' attack.
Kick-off is at 2pm BST and the game is being shown live on Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports Main Event the UK.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Premier league football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a round of Premier League fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch Steve Bruce’s extra-red face without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.
