Newcastle United scored twice in their 2–2 draw with Liverpool during the 2026–27 Premier League opening round.
The match took place at St James’ Park on Sunday, 23 August 2026, and was the final fixture played that day. Both Newcastle and Liverpool scored two goals, so the result produced one point for each club.
The draw was one of only two opening-round draws. The other was Bournemouth’s 1–1 result against Everton, while the remaining eight fixtures produced a winner. Newcastle’s match therefore stood out as one of the round’s most competitive contests.
Liverpool had appointed Andoni Iraola as manager before the season, while Newcastle began the campaign under Matthias Jaissle. The fixture list placed two ambitious clubs together immediately, creating a notable opening-weekend matchup at one of English football’s best-known stadiums.
