Newcastle United - statistics & facts

Newcastle United is a professional football club that competes in the English Premier League. The club, nicknamed the Magpies, attracts some of the largest crowds in the division, with the average attendance at Newcastle United games usually hovering around 50,000. The club is also well-supported online, and the combined social media following of Newcastle United reaches over nine million. This high level of support is matched by a high income, with Newcastle United’s total revenue for the 2021/22 season amounting to around 212 million euros. This meant that Newcastle ranked 20th worldwide in terms of the football clubs with the highest revenue.

What trophies have Newcastle United won?

The number of trophies won by Newcastle United is impressive, with the Magpies winning the FA Cup on six occasions. In 2023, the club came close to adding a first League Cup to its collection, yet lost out to Manchester United in the final. While Newcastle's hunt for silverware goes on, their opponents rank among the teams with the most League Cup titles. Meanwhile, a number of iconic players have featured for the Magpies over the years, including Alan Shearer, who is the Premier League’s record scorer with 260 goals. Despite this, Newcastle’s last major trophy came in 1955, yet fans will no doubt hope this will change in years to come.

Who owns Newcastle United?

In October 2021, the club was bought by a consortium led by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF), bringing Mike Ashley’s eventful time as owner to an end. The sale divided opinion, with critics calling it an example of sportswashing. Since then, the club has invested millions on players, and many of Newcastle United’s most expensive signings have come under the new owners, who have had an overwhelmingly positive reception from fans: in 2022, the share of Newcastle United supporters satisfied with the start made by the new owners reached 98.5 percent.
