Newcastle vs Liverpool tickets Premier League

Set high above the city it belongs to, St James' Park is one of English football's great urban grounds, its steep stands packed close to the pitch and holding 52,405 on Tyneside. On Sunday 23 August 2026 at 4.30pm, it staged Newcastle's meeting with Liverpool on the opening matchday of the Premier League season, a first outing of the campaign for both clubs. The fixture has a habit of producing goals here: an earlier meeting between the two at this same ground finished 2-2, while their encounter at St James' Park the previous season ended 2-3 in the Reds' favour. A big Sunday-afternoon crowd, two heavyweight sides and everything still to prove after a summer's wait made this an occasion the home end had circled long in advance.
