Newcastle United drew 2–2 with Liverpool on the Sunday of the 2026–27 Premier League opener.
The match was played at St James’ Park on Sunday 23 August 2026, with a 16:30 kickoff. It was the final Sunday fixture before Monday’s Fulham–Chelsea meeting completed the opening round.
Both clubs scored twice, producing one of the opening weekend’s two draws. Manchester City’s 2–1 victory over Bournemouth was also played on the same day, while Brighton defeated Aston Villa 4–0.
The result gave Newcastle and Liverpool one point each. It also ensured that the first match round included a high-profile fixture that ended level rather than producing a winner.
