Which fixture ended 2–2 between Newcastle United and Liverpool during the 2026–27 opening weekend?
Answer
Newcastle United 2–2 Liverpool
Newcastle United drew 2–2 with Liverpool during the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.
The match was played on Sunday, 23 August 2026, at St James’ Park. It was one of the round’s two draws and the only opening-weekend fixture in which both teams scored twice.
The result gave both clubs one point. It also marked the beginning of a new era for each side: Newcastle were managed by Matthias Jaissle, while Liverpool had appointed Andoni Iraola before the season began.
The score should not be confused with the 3–2 result in Fulham versus Chelsea, or the 2–1 wins recorded by Manchester City and Ipswich Town. Newcastle and Liverpool shared four goals equally, producing the round’s 2–2 draw.
