Which two teams drew 2–2 in the Newcastle United–Liverpool match on the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend?
Answer
Newcastle United and Liverpool
Newcastle United and Liverpool drew 2–2 on the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.
The match was played at St James’ Park on Sunday 23 August 2026. It was one of the weekend’s three Sunday fixtures and ended level after both clubs scored twice.
The draw gave each side one point rather than a victory. It was the only stalemate among the 10 opening-round matches; every other fixture produced a winner. Newcastle and Liverpool therefore began the season unbeaten but without maximum points.
Liverpool were managed by Andoni Iraola, who had arrived from Bournemouth during the summer. Newcastle were led by Matthias Jaissle, appointed after Eddie Howe left the club in July 2026.
