Tyneside matchday
Newcastle United as the anchorFlexible bonus
St James' Park sits in the centre of Newcastle, walkable from the station, which makes it one of the easiest big-club matchdays to reach.
Build the route around one anchor match
Start with the match that would justify the trip on its own. Everything else should be close enough, cheap enough, or flexible enough that the weekend still works if kick-off times move.
Wearside day
Sunderland as the anchorFlexible bonus
The Stadium of Light is a short trip from Sunderland's centre and pairs well with a Tyneside visit across the weekend.
Teesside bonus
Middlesbrough as the bonusFlexible bonus
The Riverside adds a third option down the line, useful when the fixtures fall on different days.

Ticket caution
Newcastle league fixtures are high-demand and usually membership-led, while Sunderland and Middlesbrough are often more realistic, but always verify on the club's official ticket site before paying. Footbeen does not sell tickets; it helps you plan the trip and keep the match, stadium and city in your football record after you go.
