Which club held Liverpool to a 2–2 draw in the 2026–27 Premier League opening round?

Newcastle United held Liverpool to a 2–2 draw in the 2026–27 Premier League opening round.

Newcastle United and Liverpool drew 2–2 at St James’ Park on Sunday 23 August 2026. The match was the final Sunday fixture and was scheduled for a 16:30 BST kick-off. Each team earned one point, making it one of only two drawn matches in the opening round.

The fixture brought together two clubs with strong Premier League histories, but it did not produce a winner. Liverpool’s other opening-round details were unusual because the club began the season away from home, while Newcastle opened at St James’ Park.

The other draw came in the opening round’s league table only through this match; the remaining nine fixtures produced five home wins, four away wins and no other draw. Fulham versus Chelsea, played on Monday, ended 2–3, so Chelsea won rather than sharing the points. The 2–2 result also meant both Newcastle and Liverpool scored twice and conceded twice.
