How to watch today's K League XI vs Newcastle United friendly game: Live stream, TV channel, and start time

Newcastle United kick off their whirlwind visit to South Korea on Wednesday with a clash against a K-League All-Star XI in Suwon, eager to get their pre-season preparations back on track. The Magpies are coming off back-to-back friendly losses and will be keen to steady the ship as they gear up for the 2025-26 campaign.

After ending their long wait for silverware and booking a Champions League return last season, Newcastle haven’t quite enjoyed the smooth off-season many fans were hoping for. Recruitment has hit a few snags, and murmurs surrounding Alexander Isak's future have cast a shadow over the camp. The Swedish striker is notably absent from the tour squad, reportedly nursing a "minor thigh issue," though speculation continues to mount that his Tyneside chapter may soon close.

With Callum Wilson already gone following his free transfer exit, Will Osula looks set to lead the line again, just as he did in the narrow 3-2 defeat to Arsenal. Newcastle had opened their pre-season with a win over Carlisle United but were then hammered 4-0 by Celtic before the setback against the Gunners. Manager Eddie Howe will be eager to see a sharper display in South Korea.

On the other side, Team K-League will showcase some of their standout talents, headlined by Lee Tae-seok and Oberdan, both of Pohang Steelers, who topped a recent fan vote.

One bright spark in recent outings has been new signing Anthony Elanga, who found the net on Sunday and is in contention to start on the right flank. He'll compete with Harvey Barnes and Jacob Murphy, while local favourite Seung-Soo Park could also feature off the bench. At the back, Lewis Hall is now fully fit after a foot injury and should be available, leaving Isak as the sole absentee.
