Harrogate Town fans will be treated to a glamour fixture in July when Premier League outfit Newcastle United comes to the CNG Stadium for a pre-season friendly.
The game will take place on Sunday July 18 and fans are expected to be able to attend if the government's roadmap out of lockdown continues as planned.
The club said they will release ticketing information at a future date. It will be the first home fixture of the 2021/22 season.
Newcastle are currently 16th in the Premier League table and have a host of international stars including England's Callum Wilson.

Newcastle United is arguably the biggest club to play in Harrogate in many years.
Leeds United used to be a regular for pre-season friendlies at Wetherby Road which they stopped when Town installed its artificial pitch.
The last Premier League club to visit Harrogate for a friendly was Hull City in 2013 who were coincidentally also managed by Newcastle manager Steve Bruce.
