Anfield: Matchday Guide, News and Fan Tips

Anfield is Liverpool’s famous stadium and a must-visit for football fans. Its atmosphere, the Kop, and the song 'You’ll Never Walk Alone' make matchdays feel huge. If you plan to go, know what to expect and how to avoid common hassles.

Getting there is easier by public transport.

Trains to Lime Street run often and buses stop close to the ground. Walking from the city centre takes about 20 minutes and is a good option before kick-off. Driving is tricky; parking is limited and many streets are controlled on matchday. Use official car parks if you must drive.

Tickets sell fast. Buy through Liverpool FC’s official site or trusted resale platforms. Be wary of scalpers and fake tickets. If a match looks sold out, try club memberships that offer priority access, or check last-minute releases in official channels.

Food and drink around Anfield are lively. The fan zones and nearby pubs fill up early. Prices inside stadium shops and kiosks can be high, so bring cash or a card ready. If you prefer quieter spots, head to streets a little further away for cheaper options.

On the day, arrive early to soak up the atmosphere.

Fans start singing well before kick-off. Bag checks and security lines can add time, so factor that in. Keep your valuables safe and dress for the weather; Liverpool can be wet and windy even in summer.

Stadium tours and the club museum are great for non-match days. They give behind-the-scenes access to the dressing rooms, trophy displays, and pitch views. Tours book out during busy weeks, so reserve a slot ahead of time.

For families and first-timers, check seating sections before you buy. The Kop is loud and passionate, and other areas can be more family-friendly. Consider a seat on the side for a clearer view if you value comfort over raw atmosphere.

Safety on matchday matters. Follow steward instructions and be patient in crowds. If you feel unsafe, find a steward or police officer. For medical help, use the stadium’s first aid points.
