Up until 2023 the Falcons’ matches remain unaffected by the switch, with the first change being the visit of Leicester Tigers to Kingston Park Stadium on Saturday January 7.

The BT Sport cameras will be on hand for the 2pm kick-off, with all league games after this date listed as ‘weekend of’ pending TV picks.

The Premiership Rugby Cup semi-finals and final, meanwhile, have been moved to weekend slots, with the European schedule unaffected.

The revised fixture list has been formulated due to the suspension of Worcester Warriors and Wasps from the Gallagher Premiership, with London Irish visiting Kingston Park on the weekend of March 3/4/5.

Gloucester visit the North East on March 24/25/26, with the final home game of the Premiership regular season coming against Northampton Saints on the weekend of April 21/22/23.

Simon Massie-Taylor, Premiership Rugby’s chief executive, said: “Restructuring the fixture list has allowed us to create a better narrative in the second half of the season, ensuring five Gallagher Premiership Rugby matches are played on each weekend.

“The new list also reduces the number of bye weeks for teams and the stop-start challenge for some clubs created by the unfortunate issues at Wasps and Worcester Warriors. I am aware that this has created some real challenges for some of our clubs but I’d like to thank them for agreeing to these changes.

“It is a compelling fixture list with big matches every weekend starting with the New Year games which includes a re-run of the unforgettable 2019 Final, between Saracens and Exeter Chiefs, which is of course live on BT Sport.

“The Premiership Rugby Cup will be moved into the weekends reducing the number of midweek games and the pressure this creates for players, coaches and staff.

“We would also like to thank our broadcast partners, BT Sport and ITV, who have allowed us to give certainty to our fans with all Gallagher Premiership Rugby matches now confirmed until the middle of February.”

Newcastle Falcons will continue to look into the possibility of organising additional friendly fixtures to account for the cancelled home games against Wasps and Worcester
