St James' Park hosted the 2–2 draw between Newcastle United and Liverpool on the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.
The match was played on Sunday, 23 August 2026, with Newcastle United as the home team. Liverpool secured a late equaliser in a dramatic finish at the Newcastle ground.
St James’ Park is Newcastle United’s historic home in the centre of Newcastle upon Tyne. The stadium has been associated with the club since the nineteenth century and is known for its steep stands and prominent city-centre location.
The venue is sometimes confused with Anfield because both clubs are historic northern English teams. Anfield is Liverpool’s home; St James’ Park is Newcastle United’s home.
