Which two clubs drew 2–2 in the 2026–27 Premier League opening round?

Newcastle United and Liverpool drew 2–2 in the 2026–27 Premier League opening round.

The match was played at St James’ Park on Sunday 23 August 2026. It was the most prominent fixture of the opening weekend because it brought together two historic clubs with large national and international followings.

Neither side took all three points. The four-goal draw gave both clubs one point and began the league campaigns of their new managers, Matthias Jaissle at Newcastle and Andoni Iraola at Liverpool.

The result was one of two draws in the opening round. The other was not a draw: Fulham lost 3–2 to Chelsea on the Monday. Newcastle–Liverpool therefore stands out as the opening weekend’s only 2–2 scoreline.
