Is Newcastle vs Brighton on TV? Live streams and how to watch

Watch Newcastle vs Brighton for an all-Premier League clash in the fifth round of the FA Cup on Sunday March 2.

Newcastle are already into the final of the Carabao Cup, but they’d love to match that progress in the bigger of England’s cup competitions. The Magpies have not won a trophy since 1955 and they’re in a better place than ever to correct that as they’re enjoying a strong season so far.

Brighton have been a little more mixed but have just strung together three wins in a row in the Premier League – the perfect way to recover from their 7-0 humiliation at the hands of Nottingham Forest.

Brighton booked their spot in the fifth round with a big scalp, beating one of the tournament’s more decorated teams, Chelsea, 2-1 last time out. Prior to that they eased past Norwich in the third round. Newcastle, meanwhile needed a late goal to get past Birmingham last time out, after getting the better of lowly Bromley in the third round.

Just one point separates the two sides in the Premier League, with Eddie Howe’s Newcastle in sixth place on 44 points and Brighton in eighth on 43.
