Which 2026–27 opening-weekend match finished 2–2 between Newcastle United and Liverpool?

Newcastle United versus Liverpool finished 2–2 during the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.

The match took place at St James’ Park on Sunday, 23 August 2026. Both sides earned one point, making it one of the two draws in the opening round; the other was not a draw, because every remaining fixture produced a winner.

Liverpool’s result meant the defending champions from the previous season did not begin with a victory in this campaign. Newcastle also avoided defeat in a lively match that was the final fixture on the opening Sunday.

The score is sometimes confused with Manchester City’s 2–1 win over Bournemouth, another Sunday match. It is also different from Chelsea’s 3–2 victory against Fulham on Monday. The Newcastle-Liverpool game was the only Matchweek 1 fixture to finish with both clubs scoring twice.
