Newcastle United were due to play Harrogate Town on 18 July 2021, it was originally decided that half of the first team players would go to the Harrogate Town match whilst the other half would go to the York City match but due to Karl Darlow receiving a positive COVID-19 test, it was decided that Newcastle United's first team would travel to the York City match and the Under-23's team would instead travel to the Harrogate Town match.
On 23 January 2022, Newcastle United announced that the first team squad would travel to Saudi Arabia for a week-long training camp. As part of that visit, it was also confirmed that Newcastle United would play a friendly match against Saudi Professional League side Al-Ittihad on 28 January 2022.
