Watching Liverpool F.C. play at Anfield Stadium is an unforgettable experience. The atmosphere inside the stadium, the singing of “You’ll Never Walk Alone,” and the energy of the crowd make matchday something truly special.
However, one thing many supporters quickly notice is that getting home after the match can be one of the busiest parts of the day. With more than 50,000 fans leaving Anfield at the same time, the surrounding streets quickly become crowded and transport options can fill up fast.
Planning how you will leave the stadium before the match starts can make the end of the evening much smoother.
Walking Back to Liverpool City Centre
Many supporters choose to walk back to **Liverpool city centre after the game.
The walk is around 2 miles (3 km) and usually takes 35–45 minutes. After the match, thousands of fans walk the same route, creating a lively atmosphere along the streets and through nearby parks.
While this can be a great way to soak up the post-match buzz, it can also be quite crowded, particularly after big games or evening kick-offs.
Buses After the Match
Liverpool’s bus network runs several routes near Anfield that head back toward the city centre and surrounding areas.
After the final whistle, large queues often form at bus stops as thousands of supporters try to leave at the same time. Buses can fill quickly, and waiting times may be longer than expected.
If you’re relying on public transport, it’s worth allowing extra time for your journey.
Taxi or Private Transfer
Many fans choose to take a taxi or private transfer after the match.
However, finding a taxi immediately outside the stadium can sometimes be difficult due to the huge crowds and road closures around Anfield.
This is why many supporters prefer to pre-book a taxi or private transfer before the match. With a driver already arranged, you avoid the stress of searching for a taxi among thousands of fans leaving the stadium.
Drivers can also arrange pickup points slightly away from the busiest streets, which often helps you leave the area faster.
Returning to the Airport After the Match
Many visitors travel to Liverpool specifically to watch a match before heading back to the airport.
If you need to reach Liverpool John Lennon Airport or Manchester Airport, it’s particularly important to plan your journey carefully.
Because traffic around Anfield can take time to clear, many travelling fans arrange pre-booked transfers to ensure they reach the airport on time for their flight.
