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

The story behind the answer

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

The match was played at St James’ Park on Sunday 23 August 2026. It began at 16:30 BST and was the final Sunday fixture of the opening round. The four-goal draw gave both clubs one point.

The fixture was one of the most prominent matches in the opening schedule because it paired two traditional Premier League clubs. Newcastle entered the season under new manager Matthias Jaissle, while Liverpool had appointed Andoni Iraola after the previous campaign.

This match is distinct from the weekend’s other Sunday fixtures: Brighton beat Aston Villa 4–0, Manchester City beat Bournemouth 2–1, and Chelsea later beat Fulham 3–2 on Monday.
