Newcastle United will face Everton in a pre-season friendly at Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium on Wednesday, 12 August (kick-off 17:15 BST).
The fixture will be an opportunity for both teams to step up their preparations just before the 2026-27 Premier League season starts on Saturday, 22 August.
It is set to be the first summer friendly between the two sides since the Barcelona Cup final in 1924, when the Toffees triumphed.
In addition, it will be Newcastle and Everton's first visit to the 101-year-old venue, which is in the heart of the Scottish capital and has a capacity of 67,144.
Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe said: "An exciting test against Premier League opposition at a historic venue will play an important part in our pre-season preparations.
"I'm sure our fans will bring a special atmosphere to Edinburgh, giving the players a massive lift as we build towards the new campaign."
Everton manager David Moyes said: "Pre-season is an important period for the players and the staff - so a fixture like this, in one of the most iconic stadiums in the country, will help us continue building.
"This fixture gives Evertonians the chance to come together, enjoy the occasion and get behind the team in what should be a really good day."
