Originally posted on Athlon Sports | By Farah Ben Gamra | Last updated Jul 27, 2025 8:02 AM ET

Arsenal and Newcastle United will face off in a pre-season friendly on Sunday, July 27, 2025 at 7:30 a.m. ET. The match will be held at the Singapore National Stadium as part of both teams’ summer tours.

For US viewers, the game will be live on Paramount+ and CBS Sports Network. It will also be available on FuboTV if you have a subscription. Paramount+ has a monthly plan starting at $7.99 and the match is part of their international friendlies coverage of top European clubs.

Is Alexander Isak Playing Today vs Arsenal?

The big question ahead of the game is Alexander Isak’s absence. He didn’t travel to Singapore with the team due to a minor thigh injury. But his name has been in transfer rumors and reports suggest he’s open to a move with Liverpool listed as one of the interested clubs. Manager Eddie Howe said Isak’s injury but wouldn’t comment on his future so his absence is open to interpretation. Either way he won’t play today.

Will Viktor Gyökeres Play Tonight vs Newcastle?

Arsenal fans hoping to see new signing Viktor Gyökeres in action will have to wait. He joined Arsenal for between £55–64 million and has arrived in Singapore with the team. But the club has decided to hold him out of this game and will unveil him to the fans before his likely debut later in the tour possibly in the North London derby in Hong Kong.

Match Preview

Despite Isak and Gyökeres not playing, the game is still a good test for both teams. Arsenal will continue to integrate summer signings Martin Zubimendi, Cristhian Mosquera and goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga. Newcastle is coming off a 4-0 defeat to Celtic and will use this game to regroup. With Isak and Callum Wilson out, younger players or fringe attackers might get a chance to impress.

The game is part of a growing trend of Premier League clubs taking pre-season games to global audiences. For US viewers it’s a rare early morning opportunity to watch two top English teams play each other in a competitive warm-up for the 2025-26 season.
