Newcastle United versus Liverpool was played on 23 August 2026 in the 2026–27 Premier League opening round.
The fixture took place on a Sunday at St James’ Park. Newcastle and Liverpool drew 2–2, making the match one of the opening weekend’s headline encounters and one of the round’s two-goal-each games.
The date sits between the first match on Friday 21 August and the final match on Monday 24 August. The round was spread over four calendar days, so identifying the date requires distinguishing the individual fixture from the overall opening weekend.
Newcastle entered the match under new head coach Matthias Jaissle, while Liverpool were led by Andoni Iraola. Both clubs therefore began a new managerial era in a high-profile Sunday fixture.
