The very first meeting between Newcastle and Burnley took place in the first round of the FA Cup back in February 1895 when the Magpies claimed a 2-1 home win thanks to a brace from Tom Rendell. However, the Clarets responded by winning 11 of the next 18 league encounters (D2 L5).

Newcastle and Burnley had their fair share of successes during their regular battles in Divisions One and Two over the years. In August 1928, the Clarets claimed their biggest win to date against the Magpies by a 7-2 scoreline towards the end of an eight-game unbeaten run (W6 D2).

As for Newcastle, they celebrated their biggest win over Burnley in September 1951 - a thumping 7-1 home victory in which George Robledo scored four goals.

In the Premier League era (since 1992-93), Newcastle and Burnley have butted heads 16 times in total, and it was the Clarets who picked up 10 points from their opening eight encounters (W2 D4 L2).

Their only two wins were by 1-0 scorelines on home soil in October 2017 and December 2019. The match-winners on both occasions - Jeff Hendrick and Chris Wood respectively - went on to represent Newcastle at a later date.

Since then, the Magpies have been the dominant side in this fixture, winning each of their last eight Premier League matches and scoring 19 goals in the process, most recently winning by a 3-1 scoreline at Turf Moor in December 2025.

Outside of league football, Newcastle have won each of their previous three FA Cup ties with Burnley, but the Clarets prevailed in their only EFL Cup clash with the Magpies in August 2021, winning 4-3 on penalties to progress to the third round following a goalless draw in normal time.
