As we enter April 2026, the tension in the city is at an all-time high. With only a handful of games remaining in the 2025/26 Premier League season, both of our historic clubs are fighting for every point. Whether it’s a push for the title at Anfield or a battle for European spots at the new Everton Stadium, the next few weeks will define the season.
If you’re heading to the match, you know that the “90 minutes” is only half the story. The real challenge is navigating the city on a match day when 50,000+ fans are all trying to get to the same place at the same time.
Key Fixtures: April 2026
The calendar is packed with high-stakes football. Mark your diaries for these massive home games:
- Everton vs. Liverpool (The Merseyside Derby): Sunday 19 April 2026 (14:00).
- Liverpool vs. Fulham: Saturday 11 April 2026.
- Liverpool vs. Crystal Palace: Saturday 25 April 2026.
- Everton vs. Arsenal: (Late April – TBC).
The “Derby Day” Lockdown
The Merseyside Derby on 19 April is set to be one of the biggest in years. With the game being held at Everton, the surrounding areas of North Liverpool will be under significant traffic pressure.
- Road Closures: Expect major restrictions around the stadium from 11:00 AM until well after the final whistle.
- Public Transport Squeeze: The trains to Kirkby and the local bus networks will be operating at 100% capacity. If you aren’t on a platform 2 hours before kick-off, you’re at risk of missing the start.
