Liverpool vs Newcastle United
Liverpool open the 2026/27 Premier League season away at Newcastle United on Sunday 23 August, kick-off 4:30pm, live on Sky Sports. It's Andoni Iraola's first competitive game as Liverpool head coach, taking his rebuilt squad to St James' Park in what's traditionally been a daunting opening-day assignment — Newcastle are unbeaten in their last four opening-day fixtures.
The most recent meeting between the sides went Liverpool's way in emphatic fashion, a 4-1 win at Anfield in January 2026 that included a stoppage-time Ibrahima Konaté goal. With Eddie Howe's Newcastle now an established top-six regular and Iraola just weeks into implementing his own ideas at Liverpool, this early-season trip to Tyneside offers one of the first real tests of the post-Slot era.
