Which teams drew 2–2 in the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend’s Sunday match at St James’ Park?

Newcastle United and Liverpool drew 2–2 at St James’ Park on the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.

The match was played on Sunday 23 August 2026 and was the latest fixture of that day. It formed part of a Sunday schedule that also included Manchester City versus AFC Bournemouth and Brighton & Hove Albion versus Aston Villa.

The draw was one of only two opening-round matches without a winner. The other was not a draw: every other fixture produced a victory, while Newcastle and Liverpool shared the points after four total goals.

The fixture paired Newcastle’s home side with Liverpool, one of England’s most decorated clubs. Because both teams scored twice, the match finished level rather than producing a home or away winner.
