Which 2026–27 Premier League opening-weekend match ended in a draw?
Answer
Newcastle United versus Liverpool
Answer
Newcastle United versus Liverpool
Newcastle United versus Liverpool was the only drawn match of the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.
The match ended 2–2 at St James’ Park on Sunday, 23 August 2026. Both teams scored twice, so each received one point rather than three.
The fixture was one of three matches played on the Sunday of the opening round. The other Sunday games produced winners: Manchester City beat Bournemouth, while Brighton & Hove Albion beat Aston Villa.
The result can be confused with Ipswich Town versus Sunderland, another closely contested fixture from the opening round. Ipswich won that Saturday match 2–1, so it was not a draw. Fulham versus Chelsea also had a winner, with Chelsea prevailing 3–2.
