Celtic will host Newcastle United on Saturday, July 19, 2025 in a very special pre-season match at Celtic Park.

Scotland and England’s respective League Cup winners will take on one another as they continue their preparations for the 2025/26 campaign, and the game will have a competitive edge as both sides look to come out on top and clinch The adidas Trophy.

Newcastle United made history this season when they lifted the Carabao Cup in March, defeating Liverpool 2-1 at Wembley. It was a final packed with emotion as Eddie Howe led his side to their first domestic trophy in 70 years.

The joyous scenes that followed in the streets of Newcastle will live long in the memory and the Geordies will make the short journey north to Glasgow in their thousands to take on Scotland’s own League Cup winners.

Celtic also enjoyed success in Scotland’s respective competition, adding a 22nd League Cup title to the trophy cabinet in December after another win over Rangers, securing the Premier Sports Cup for Brendan Rodgers’ team.

Tickets for the adidas Trophy are on sale now to Celtic FC Season Ticket holders who have exclusive access to a priority window until 2pm on Monday, June 2.

Brendan Rodgers said: “I’m really looking forward to this match in the summer and I think it will be a great occasion for both sets of players and supporters, as well as being really important in our build up to next year.”

“Eddie and his team, like ourselves, have enjoyed a great season and I know we will face a tough test from a top Premier League side.

"As Champions, we will aim to enjoy a good pre-season to get us ready for the challenges of next year at home and abroad, and this really exciting match will provide great preparation for us.”

Newcastle United manager, Eddie Howe added: “Travelling to Glasgow to face Celtic is a great opportunity to test ourselves as we gear up for Premier League and European football next season.

“We'll face a top team at an historic ground, with a big away crowd there to support us.”
