About Anfield#

Anfield is the home stadium of Liverpool Football Club in the Anfield district of Liverpool, England, opened in 1884 and one of English football’s most historic grounds.

Originally built for Everton before Liverpool F.C. formed in 1892, the ground has been expanded and redeveloped periodically, most recently with a major Main Stand redevelopment that increased capacity. The stadium has been adapted repeatedly to modern safety and spectator standards while retaining historic elements.

Situated close to Liverpool city centre in the Anfield neighbourhood, the stadium is within a few kilometres of central Liverpool and accessible by local public transport and match-day shuttle services.

  • Capacity and match-day logistics: Current seating capacity is about 54,000; match-day entry and travel often require arriving early due to local traffic and limited immediate parking.
  • Match-day experience: Anfield’s anthem traditions - pre-match singing of “You’ll Never Walk Alone” on the Kop is a well-known feature and best experienced by attending a home match or official stadium tour.

What to See#

  • Main stands: The four main stands are the Main Stand, the Kop, the Sir Kenny Dalglish Stand (formerly the Centenary/Anfield Road side) and the Anfield Road End, each forming the rectangular stadium bowl.
  • Entrance memorials and gates: The Shankly Gates and the memorials at the stadium entrances, which are focal points for supporters arriving for matches.

How to Get to Anfield#

Anfield is about 3 km north-east of Liverpool city centre. From Liverpool Lime Street station take bus 17/26/917 or a 20-30 minute taxi. On match days special transport arrangements and road closures are in effect; check local guidance.

Tips for Visiting Anfield#

  • Book stadium tours in advance on non-match days to see the players' tunnel and old dressing rooms with fewer crowds.
  • If attending a match, arrive at least 90 minutes early to soak in the atmosphere around Anfield Road and the Kop.
  • Visit the L4 Anfield Road stand area to view memorials to the Hillsborough victims - a solemn and important part of the stadium's history.
