What was the score in the 2026–27 Premier League match between Newcastle United and Liverpool?

Newcastle United drew 2–2 with Liverpool in the 2026–27 Premier League opening round.

The match was played at St James’ Park on Sunday 23 August 2026. It was one of the most prominent fixtures of the opening weekend because it matched two historically significant clubs and ended with four goals shared equally.

The draw gave both teams one point from their opening fixture. Neither side recorded a clean sheet, and the result left Newcastle and Liverpool level on points and goal difference after the match. The attendance was 52,630, reflecting the large support traditionally associated with Newcastle’s home ground.

This result is sometimes mistaken for a Newcastle victory because the match was played at St James’ Park. It was a draw, however, with both clubs scoring twice. It was also distinct from Manchester City’s 2–1 comeback against Bournemouth, another Sunday fixture.
