Which club drew 2–2 with Liverpool during the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend?

Newcastle United drew 2–2 with Liverpool during the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.

The match was played at St James’ Park on Sunday 23 August 2026. Each team scored twice, so Newcastle and Liverpool shared one point apiece. The result made the fixture one of the weekend’s most competitive matches rather than a decisive home or away win.

A draw awards one point to each club in the Premier League table. It also gives both sides an unchanged goal difference when their goals scored and conceded are equal. Liverpool therefore began their campaign with a point, while Newcastle gained the same total in front of their home supporters.

The fixture should not be confused with Fulham’s 2–3 defeat by Chelsea on Monday or Manchester City’s 2–1 win over Bournemouth earlier on Sunday. Those matches had different outcomes and scorelines.
