Newcastle upon Tyne is home to Newcastle United, founded in 1892. Before the Premier League, their stored honours include 4 First Division titles and 6 FA Cups. An Inter-Cities Fairs Cup win came in 1968/69. The archive's detailed league results begin at 1992/93, immediately before Newcastle's Premier League entry.
St James' Park is the recorded ground throughout Newcastle's seasons in this archive. They finished 3rd on entering the Premier League, with a positive goal difference that remains their best here.
A lower finish followed before Newcastle became runners-up. That campaign returned 78 points, their highest season total in the archive. The runner-up position was repeated the following season, though with fewer points. An 8–0 home victory against Sheffield Wednesday came during the later lower-half period, becoming the largest winning margin in Newcastle's recorded league results. That campaign returned more points than either of the preceding seasons but still ended outside the top half. Lower-half finishes interrupted the run near the top.
Newcastle returned to the top four, then improved the league placing the following season. Those campaigns ended above the subsequent 5th-place finish, despite variations in the points totals.
Later seasons moved between the upper and lower halves before relegation ended that first Premier League spell. The final campaign finished in 18th place.
The next spell opened outside the top half before a rise to 5th. Subsequent lower finishes preceded another relegation, during a season in which Rafa Benítez's stored tenure began. His later return campaign ended in the top half.
Steve Bruce followed before Eddie Howe's appointment in November 2021. Howe's later top-four campaign included an unbeaten run of 17 league matches. A League Cup win accompanied a subsequent upper-table finish, before the next season ended lower. Newcastle placed 12th in 2025/26, their latest fully completed Premier League campaign.
