Newcastle United vs. Leeds United: Head-to-head record and past meetings ahead of Premier League clash - European Football

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 102

Draws: 22

Leeds United and Newcastle United have played against each other 102 times in total across all competitions, with the Magpies marginally leading the overall head-to-head record having posted 41 wins to the Whites’ 39, while 22 draws have been played out between the two clubs.

November 1924 was the very first time that these two clubs locked horns, sharing the spoils in a 1-1 draw in the old Division One before Newcastle celebrated the first victory of this fixture four months later (4-1).

Both Leeds and Newcastle had their fair share of successes during their regular battles in Divisions One and Two over the years, but it was the former who registered 28 league victories to the Magpies’ 25 up until the late 1980s, including 20 wins out of 34 games between and 1931 and 1971.

Leeds and Newcastle have only ever faced each other six times in domestic cup competitions. While the Whites have won both FA Cup meetings in 1931 (4-1) and 1933 (3-0), both teams have won two EFL Cup ties each, with Newcastle winning the most recent (2-0) in the third round of the 2013 competition.

In the Premier League era (since 1992-93), Leeds and Newcastle have butted heads 30 times in total and it is the Magpies who have celebrated 13 victories to the Whites’ seven, while 10 matches – including their first three – all ended as draws.

The most recent meeting came on gameweek 21 of the 2025-26 season, when Newcastle emerged as 4-3 winners in a Premier League classic.

Leeds led three times thanks to a Brenden Aaronson brace and a Dominic Calvert-Lewin penalty, but they were pegged back each time by the Toon.

Magpies midfielder Bruno Guimaraes netted a 91st-minute penalty to level the scores at 3-3, before teammate Harvey Barnes managed to grab a winner in the 12th minute of stoppage time.

Leeds’ biggest Premier League win over Newcastle came in December 2020 when they secured a 5-2 triumph at Elland Road, while the Magpies have also prevailed in goal-laden encounters, memorably coming out on top in a 4-3 thriller in December 2001 courtesy of Nolberto Solano’s 90th-minute winner.
