Newcastle United Under-18s will begin their 2026/27 FA Youth Cup campaign with a third round tie away at Manchester City.

The Toon teenagers, who currently occupy third spot in the Under-18 Premier League North after winning six of their opening nine league fixtures, have been handed an away draw against the defending champions, who target a third FA Youth Cup title in four seasons.

Man City's youngsters also sit at the top of the Under-18 Premier League North, six points above the young Magpies, and have won their opening eight league fixtures, scoring 33 goals.

Should ties finish level after 90 minutes, 30 minutes of extra time will be played. If the scores remain level after this time, the result will be decided by a penalty shoot-out.

All ties are scheduled to be completed by Saturday, 12th December.

A date and kick-off time will be confirmed on newcastleunited.com at the earliest opportunity.
