Which two clubs drew 2–2 in the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend’s only draw?

Newcastle United and Liverpool drew 2–2 in the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend’s only draw.

The match was played on Sunday, 23 August 2026, at Newcastle United’s home ground. Each team scored twice, so the contest ended without either side taking all three points.

The fixture was one of the weekend’s most prominent pairings because both clubs were established Premier League sides with a long history of significant matches. It also provided the only drawn result among the ten opening-round fixtures.

This result can be confused with the later 1–1 draw between Bournemouth and Everton, which occurred during the season but not in the opening weekend. Fulham and Chelsea also played on Monday, but Chelsea won that match 3–2.
