Newcastle United host Qarabağ in the UEFA Champions League 2025-26 Knockout Round Playoffs second leg on February 24, 2026. St James’ Park should be electric with the Magpies carrying a huge 6-1 first-leg lead from Baku into this return fixture. With a place in the last 16 on the line and a potential meeting with Chelsea or Barcelona next, this is a high-stakes European night where Qarabağ must chase an extraordinary comeback.
Match Preview
Newcastle arrive in total control of the tie after a stunning 6-1 away win on February 18, 2026. It was a landmark European performance: Newcastle scored six goals in European competition for the first time, powered by Anthony Gordon’s four first-half goals. Gordon has been prolific in Europe this season with 10 goals, giving Newcastle a ruthless edge if Qarabağ open up chasing the game.
There were key absences in the first leg, with Bruno Guimaraes and Tino Livramento missing through injury, so team news remains a major talking point for the hosts. Even so, the first-leg margin means Newcastle can manage the game while still targeting progression with authority.
Qarabağ’s task is extreme after conceding six in Baku. They did get on the scoresheet through Elvin Cafarquliyev, but their overall attacking output was limited, generating 0.46 xG from eight shots. Manager Gurban Gurbanov needs multiple goals and a clean sheet, a combination that looks unlikely given Newcastle’s dominance in the first meeting. The reward for the winner is massive: qualification to the Champions League last 16 and a matchup against Chelsea or Barcelona.

How to watch anywhere with VPN
If your local broadcaster does not carry Newcastle United vs Qarabağ, a VPN can help you access your usual streaming service while traveling by avoiding geo-blocks. Step 1: choose a reputable VPN and install it on your device. Step 2: connect to a server in the country where you already have access (for example, the UK for Amazon Prime Video). Step 3: open the official app or website, sign in, and start the live stream. VPN apps typically work across iOS, Android, desktop, and many smart TV setups, so you can keep one viewing routine across devices.
How to watch at Sportsbooks
Some sportsbook platforms offer live streams for football matches when you have an eligible account. Access rules vary by operator and region, and you often need a funded balance to unlock the player. Use this standard flow: register for an account, complete verification if required, make a deposit, then find the match in the live section and tap the “Play” icon if it appears. Always check the sportsbook’s streaming availability in your country before kickoff.
