Newcastle United and Liverpool drew 2–2 on the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.
The match was played at St James’ Park on Sunday 23 August 2026. Each club scored twice, so both began the season with one point rather than a victory or defeat.
The fixture was one of the weekend’s most prominent games because it paired two established Premier League clubs. It was also the final Sunday match before Fulham hosted Chelsea in the round’s Monday-night conclusion.
A 2–2 draw differs from a 1–1 draw in both scoreline and goal total: the match produced four goals overall. In the opening-weekend standings, the shared points left Newcastle and Liverpool behind the teams that had won their first fixtures.
