Newcastle v Liverpool: TV channel, live stream and key Premier League 2026-27 details
Newcastle United begin the 2026-27 Premier League season at home to Liverpool on Sunday, 23 August, with the match marking the start of a new era for both clubs. The opening-round fixture will be played at St James’ Park, where Newcastle will be led for the first time in a competitive match by their new manager Matthias Jaissle.
The 38-year-old German has taken charge of Newcastle United ahead of the new campaign and faces an immediate test against a Liverpool side also under new management.
Liverpool appointed Spanish manager Andoni Iraola after a disappointing season led to the dismissal of Dutchman Arne Slot. Iraola has moved to Anfield from AFC Bournemouth and will oversee Liverpool’s first league match of the campaign.
Newcastle have also experienced significant change during the summer transfer window. The club have lost three prominent players, with Antony Gordon, Sandro Tonali and Bruno Guimaraes leaving for Barcelona, Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal respectively.
Despite Newcastle’s home advantage, Liverpool have a clear historical edge in this fixture. They have avoided defeat in the past 19 Premier League meetings between the sides, recording 14 victories and five draws.
Liverpool’s recent record at St James’ Park is similarly strong. They have not lost in their last nine Premier League visits to Newcastle, winning six times and drawing on three occasions.
The fixture is scheduled to kick off at 18:30 Saudi Arabia time and 19:30 in the United Arab Emirates on Sunday, 23 August 2026.

Liverpool’s unbeaten run against Newcastle in the Premier League stretches across 19 meetings, and their record at St James’ Park adds further weight to their position before the opening weekend. However, the contest will be the first competitive opportunity for both newly appointed managers to establish their teams under the pressure of a new league campaign.
