At which stadium did Newcastle United draw 2–2 with Liverpool in the 2026–27 opener?

Newcastle United drew 2–2 with Liverpool at St James’ Park in the 2026–27 Premier League opener.

The match was played on Sunday 23 August 2026 and was the final Sunday fixture of the opening weekend. Liverpool rescued a point with a stoppage-time penalty converted by Dominik Szoboszlai, producing a dramatic 2–2 finish.

St James’ Park is Newcastle United’s historic home stadium in the centre of Newcastle upon Tyne. Its elevated position and close proximity to the city centre make it one of the most recognisable grounds in English football.

The venue is sometimes confused with Anfield because Liverpool were the visitors, but Anfield is Liverpool’s home ground. The Newcastle fixture was also separate from Manchester City’s home match against Bournemouth at the Etihad Stadium.
