Anfield Stadium

Anfield Road, Liverpool, GBR

Anfield Stadium, the Liverpool Football Club's home turf, is hallowed ground for Liverpool fans. The 54,000-capacity venue not only hosts matches, but also contains the Liverpool FC Story, a museum chronicling the club's history, and the Steven Gerrard Collection, comprising memorabilia relating to the former captain.

To explore inside Anfield Stadium, you can either purchase a match ticket or join a museum and stadium tour. Anfield Stadium tickets are typically in high demand, particularly for important Champions League and FA Cup matches. Often the best option is to book a tour package, which may include additional extras such as a prematch buffet or halftime refreshments.

To go behind the scenes, take a self-guided Anfield Stadium tour. With the aid of a multimedia audio handset, tour the press room and the Kop, climb to the highest level of the main stand, peek behind the doors of the home and away teams' dressing rooms, and walk through the players' tunnel. Admission to the interactive Liverpool FC Story museum—and to the Steven Gerrard Collection—is included.

  • Anfield Stadium is an absolute must for Liverpool FC fans.

  • Self-guided tours of the stadium and the club's interactive museum are at your own pace; allow 1.5 to 2 hours to explore.

  • Please note that luggage and large bags are not permitted inside the stadium.

  • Wheelchair spaces are available at the stadium. However, not all ticket packages are suitable for wheelchair users, so check ahead. Most of the tour is wheelchair accessible, though the manager's dugout has stepped access only.

Anfield Stadium is situated on Anfield Road in Liverpool. To get there from the city center, take the 26 from Liverpool One Bus Station, 17 from Queen Square Bus Station, or the 917 from St. Johns Lane. On match days, beginning three hours prior to kickoff, the 917 express bus service runs from St. Johns Lane to Anfield every 10 minutes.

If you want to see Anfield at its busiest and buzziest, go on a match day. If you want space and time to explore without crowds, opt for a midweek morning tour. Shorter 45-minute tours, led by tour guides, are available on match days up to four hours before kickoff, but do not include access to the dressing rooms or press room.

Of all the features of the stadium, few are as well known to English football fans as the "This Is Anfield" sign. Hung above a set of stairs leading to the pitch, the sign was intended to intimidate visiting teams. Up until recently, it was tradition for Liverpool players to touch the sign as they came out onto the pitch.

The Anfield Stadium tour lasts around one hour, but it’s a good idea to arrive about ten minutes before your selected time slot. Budget 30 minutes to look around the museum and the gift shop. If you’ve booked a stadium tour and Legends Q&A session, add on an extra hour.

The Anfield Stadium tour includes behind-the-scenes access to the home team dressing room, the press room, and the pitchside dugout. You’ll also be able to walk through the player’s tunnel onto the pitch, soak up panoramic views from the top of the main stand, and visit the interactive Liverpool FC Museum.

You can bring a small A5-sized bag on the Anfield Stadium tour or a bag carrying medical necessities or souvenirs from the gift shop—all bags will be searched on entry. There isn’t anywhere to store bags or luggage larger than this, so make sure you leave bigger items at home.

There’s no dress code for the Anfield Stadium tour, but there is if you’re watching a soccer game from one of the hospitality areas. Then, you’re asked to wear a smart-casual outfit that doesn’t feature any of the kit colors of the away team.

Yes, the Anfield Stadium tour is fully accessible. You can access all of the levels in a lift, and there are also ramps for getting to the side of the pitch. You’ll also find two accessible toilet facilities on the tour route and plenty of accessible parking spaces at the on-site car park.

Yes, there is parking available for the Anfield Stadium tour. On arrival, you can park for free at the Stanley Park car park on the corner of Priory Road and Utting Avenue. If you’ve booked a matchday tour, car parks will be much busier, and you might need to park further away.
