Liverpool was founded in 1892 by John Houlding. The club holds the record for the most European Cup/Champions League titles among English clubs, with six overall.
Liverpool is a Premier League club based in Liverpool. Their home ground is Anfield, with a capacity of around 61,276.
Anfield is made up of four stands, including the world-famous Spion Kop, plus the Main Stand, Sir Kenny Dalglish Stand, and the Anfield Road End (away fans).
Tickets
The safest way to buy tickets is directly through the club’s official website. Popular matches are often prioritized for season-ticket holders before general sale, so check availability as soon as your travel dates are set.
At Anfield’s Kop, around 2,000 fans greet the team bus with flares and song 90 minutes before kickoff. ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone,’ adopted from Gerry and the Pacemakers’ 1963 cover, is sung with scarves held high — the defining image of Liverpool fan culture.

💡 Insider Tips
🚌 Getting Around
There’s no train station near Anfield, so buses are the main way in. The 917 Express shuttle from Commutation Row in the city center (every 10 minutes, about 15 minutes, £5 one-way) is the most convenient, along with regular routes 26, 17, 68/168, and 14/19.
🏨 Lodging
Walking-distance options include The Anfield Hotel (7 minutes), 128 Anfield Road (4 minutes), The Arc Hotel (7 minutes), and Glenbuck Hotel Anfield (8 minutes) — mostly small-scale accommodations.
🎟️ Tickets — a very demanding system
General sale has essentially disappeared — a membership credit system is the only real path in. Members with 13+ credits are guaranteed a ticket, 4–12 can enter the ballot for any game, and under 4 can only enter for select games. “Reds Ticket Sale” ballots run twice a year (July/November). From 2026, entry moves fully to NFC mobile tickets.
🗺️ Tourism Tie-in
The Stadium Tour and LFC Story museum run daily except on home matchdays, with audio guides in 13 languages including English, Spanish, Thai, Chinese, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Arabic, Japanese, Norwegian, Dutch, and Portuguese.
🎁 Club Perks
Over 300 official supporters clubs (OLSC) exist across 100 countries, and international membership includes a 10% retail discount and a monthly VIP experience draw.
💡 Insider Tips
The club’s own advice: “get there as early as possible” — matchday is an all-day event that starts in the morning and runs late. From 2026, entry is fully digital/NFC, so charge your phone and download the app in advance.
