A busy road outside a city stadium will close for up to 45 minutes after home games in a trial starting next month.
Barrack Road in Newcastle will be shut between Stanhope Street and St James' Boulevard in time for fans leaving the stands at the final whistle.
The first short-term closures will be on 8 August, after the friendly match against Espanyol and on 9 August after the Sela Cup game against Atletico Madrid.
Newcastle City Council, Northumbria Police and Newcastle United said the measure was needed for public safety as large crowds of fans often spilled across both sides of the road after games.
