The season ahead · 2026/27

A new voice on the touchline as Liverpool go again

Liverpool start 2026/27 under Andoni Iraola, appointed on 4 June 2026 after Arne Slot left at the end of May. Last season the Reds slipped from champions to fifth, and the summer has been one of real upheaval. Mohamed Salah departed as a free agent when his contract was ended a year early, and the season was shadowed by the death of Diogo Jota, whose number 20 shirt has been retired in his memory. Virgil van Dijk leads the side into the new campaign, with the opener at Newcastle on the opening weekend.

Last season

How 2025/26 finished

Liverpool's title defence never caught fire. They came home fifth in the Premier League and ended the campaign without silverware, which set the stage for the change of manager this summer.

5thPremier League finish
60Points
17-9-12Won, drawn, lost
63-53Goals for and against

No trophies to show for it. Liverpool were Community Shield runners-up, went out of the FA Cup in the quarter-finals and the EFL Cup in the fourth round, and reached the Champions League quarter-finals.

Happening now

The summer business so far

Confirmed movement in and out of Anfield this summer. The window stays open until 1 September 2026, so more is likely before the deadline. Every line here can be checked against the club's official channels.

The departures of Konaté and Robertson are reported and worth confirming against the club's own announcements at liverpoolfc.com.

Confirmed line-ups arrive about an hour before kickoff, so there is no honest starting eleven or injury list to publish yet. Rather than guess, here is where things genuinely stand ahead of the opener.

Who has come in, and who has moved on

The confirmed business so far. The window remains open until 1 September 2026, so this is a snapshot rather than a final ledger, and fees are as reported. Always check the club's official statements for the last word.

Liverpool have played continuously in the top flight since 1962, so every recent season sits in the Premier League with no lower-division spells to note. Here are the last eight completed campaigns with final position and points, including the title wins in 2019/20 and 2024/25.

THE RECORD BOOKS

All-time club records

These are long-standing, well-documented Liverpool records. Where a figure is a career total across all competitions rather than league only, the note says so. Only records that are firmly established are listed here.

A quick note on scope. Ian Rush is the club's leading scorer across all competitions, while Roger Hunt holds the record for league goals alone, so both are listed. Fees for the record signing and sale include reported add-ons, which is why they are given as headline totals.

Home games

Matchday at Anfield

Everything for a home game: getting a ticket, the ground itself, getting there and parking, and where to eat and drink around it. For away days, the travel planner is further down.

Tickets

Getting a ticket for Anfield

Anfield sells out for almost every match and tickets are in high demand, so a little planning helps. Here is how tickets generally work, kept honest and general. Availability and prices vary by fixture and change through the season, so everything links out to the club, which is the only place to see what is actually on sale today.

General sale

Buying a ticket

Home league tickets are usually released to season-ticket holders and members first, and any wider general sale tends to be limited and to move quickly. The official tickets page is the reliable place to see what is on sale, how each release works and when the next one opens.

Official tickets page
Membership & ballot

Official Membership

An Official Membership gives supporters access to ticket sales ahead of the general public, and busy fixtures are often handled through a sales window or ballot rather than a straight first come basis. For fans without a season ticket it is the common route to a fair shot at a seat.

About Membership
Hospitality

Matchday hospitality

Matchday hospitality packages are sold directly by the club and come with a guaranteed seat along with dining and lounge access, so they are a way in when general tickets are gone. Prices vary by fixture and package, and everything is booked through the official site.

Hospitality at Anfield
Resale

Official Ticket Exchange

The club runs its own Ticket Exchange so members who cannot attend can resell their seat and other members can buy it safely, at face value, rather than through unofficial resale sites. It is the only resale route the club supports, and it sits inside your account on the tickets pages.

Find the Ticket Exchange
Getting there & parking

Getting to Anfield

Anfield sits in a residential part of north Liverpool, and the city has no Underground, so most supporters travel in by train and bus or on foot from the city centre. Matchday parking around the ground is limited and heavily restricted by residents' schemes, so an official or pre-booked space, or a park and ride, is the safest bet.

By train

Merseyrail and national rail

Liverpool is served by the Merseyrail network, and Lime Street is the main national rail station for anyone travelling in from further afield. There is no station right at the ground, so most fans arrive by rail into the city and finish the journey by bus, taxi or on foot.

Plan a Merseyrail journey
By bus

The matchday Soccerbus

On matchdays a dedicated Soccerbus shuttle runs between Sandhills station on the Merseyrail Northern Line and the ground, which is the simplest way to combine train and bus. Regular city bus services also run close to Anfield from the centre. Check the operator for times on the day.

Soccerbus details on Merseyrail
Parking

Driving and parking

The streets around Anfield operate residents' parking on matchdays, so casual on-street parking is very limited and enforced. If you do drive, an official or pre-booked car park is the reliable option, and the club's travel pages set out where to park and how to book.
