Newcastle United drew 2–2 with Liverpool in the only stalemate of the 2026–27 Premier League opening round.
The match was played at St James’ Park on Sunday 23 August 2026. Each side scored twice, so Newcastle and Liverpool both collected one point from the fixture.
The opening round otherwise produced decisive results: every other match had a winner. That makes Newcastle’s match distinctive beyond its scoreline, because it was the round’s only draw among the 10 fixtures.
Liverpool’s point was enough to place the club in the middle portion of the early table, while Newcastle received the same number of points. A 2–2 score also differs from the 3–2 result in Fulham versus Chelsea and the 2–1 score in Manchester City versus AFC Bournemouth.
