How many 2026–27 Premier League opening-weekend matches ended in draws?

The story behind the answer

One 2026–27 Premier League opening-weekend match ended in a draw.

The sole stalemate was Newcastle United’s 2–2 home draw with Liverpool on Sunday, 23 August 2026. Both teams scored twice and received one point, while the other nine opening-round fixtures produced winners.

The round contained ten matches because the Premier League has 20 clubs and each club played once. Seven matches were won by the home team, two were won by the away team, and one finished level.

The result is easy to overlook because the opening weekend featured several large winning margins. Brighton beat Aston Villa 4–0, Arsenal and Brentford won 3–0, and Chelsea edged Fulham 3–2. Newcastle–Liverpool was the only match in which neither side collected all three points.
