Liverpool, United Kingdom, Stadium
Home of the Kop and You'll Never Walk Alone
Liverpool FC's ground in the north of the city is small by modern standards, but few stadiums are as loud. The famous Kop end, the singing before kick-off and the European nights have made Anfield a place fans travel from all over the world to see.

Departures
After the show
There are no trains next to Anfield, so the roads clear slowly. Walk towards Stanley Park and the city, or wait for the Soccerbus queue to go down.
Bags and entry
Bags larger than A4 are not allowed, and there's no left-luggage at the stadium. Bring a small clear bag only.
Power bank
Small power banks are usually allowed. Charge it before you go, mobile data gets slow with a full crowd.
Umbrella
Only small foldable umbrellas get in. Large or golf umbrellas are refused, so a poncho is safer.
Paying inside
Anfield is cashless. Card or phone payment only.
On the day
Gates usually open 90 minutes before kick-off. Get there early to hear You'll Never Walk Alone and to see the team bus arrive on Anfield Road.
The Albert
Classic pub right next to the Kop, covered in scarves and packed with fans from midday.
Homebaked
Community bakery opposite the stadium, famous for its meat and potato pies.
Walton Breck Road
The street along the Kop with chip shops, pubs and matchday stalls.
The Reds
Founded after Everton left Anfield in a rent dispute, Liverpool became one of the most successful clubs in Europe. Before every home game the whole stadium sings You'll Never Walk Alone.

Tap a year or let the story play
Anfield opened in 1884 as the home of Everton. When Everton moved out in 1892 after a dispute with the landlord, John Houlding founded a new club to play there: Liverpool FC.
In 1906 the club built a huge terrace behind one goal and named it Spion Kop after a hill in the Boer War. The Kop could hold about 28,000 standing fans and became the most famous stand in English football. It was rebuilt with seats in 1994.
A new three-tier Main Stand opened in 2016, and the expanded Anfield Road Stand followed in 2024, lifting capacity above 61,000. Concerts are rare but big: Taylor Swift played three nights here in June 2024.
Yes, the stadium tour and the Liverpool FC museum run almost every day except match days.
Take the Soccerbus from Sandhills station, a bus from Queen Square, or walk about 45 minutes from the city centre.
Yes, most home games sell out to members. Official hospitality packages are the easiest way to get a seat.
Usually 90 minutes before kick-off for football and about 3 hours before a concert. Check your ticket for the exact time.
