Which match in the 2026–27 Premier League opening round ended 2–2 at St James' Park?

Newcastle United versus Liverpool ended 2–2 at St James’ Park in the 2026–27 Premier League opening round.

The match was played on Sunday 23 August 2026 and was one of the round’s two-goal draws. Newcastle and Liverpool each scored twice, so both clubs collected one point rather than three.

The fixture carried added managerial interest. Matthias Jaissle was Newcastle’s manager, while Andoni Iraola had taken charge of Liverpool after Arne Slot’s departure. Liverpool were also the previous season’s champions before Arsenal won the next title.

A draw in the opening round left both clubs level on one point. It also meant neither side gained an early advantage in the table over teams that won their first matches. St James’ Park was the venue for this high-profile meeting.
