Watching a match at Anfield is one of the most unforgettable football experiences in the world. Home of Liverpool F.C., the stadium regularly welcomes more than 60,000 fans on match days, creating an incredible atmosphere around the ground.
However, with so many supporters travelling to the stadium at the same time, getting to Anfield can take some planning. Here’s a simple guide to the best ways to reach the stadium on match day.
Walking from Liverpool City Centre
Many supporters staying in the city centre choose to walk to Anfield.
The walk takes roughly 40–50 minutes depending on where you start from. Fans usually make their way through areas like Stanley Park, which sits between Anfield and Goodison Park.
Walking can be a great option before the match because the streets are full of fans and the atmosphere builds as you approach the stadium.
The downside is the return journey, especially late at night or in bad weather.
Bus Services to Anfield
Liverpool has several bus routes that run close to the stadium.
On match days these services can become extremely busy, and queues often form well before kick-off.
Journey time from the city centre is usually 20–30 minutes, but delays are common due to heavy traffic around the stadium.
Taxi or Private Transfer
Many visitors prefer using a taxi or pre-booked transfer to reach Anfield.
A driver can collect you directly from your hotel, apartment, or the airport and take you close to the stadium before the roads close to traffic.
This option is especially popular for:
- Visitors travelling from Manchester Airport
- Groups of friends travelling together
- Families with children
- Visitors unfamiliar with the city
Travel time from Liverpool city centre to Anfield is usually 10–15 minutes depending on traffic.
Leaving Anfield After the Match
Getting home after a Liverpool match can actually be more difficult than getting there.
With over 60,000 fans leaving the stadium at the same time, buses become extremely crowded and the roads around Anfield quickly fill with traffic.
Many supporters find it easier to pre-book a return transfer, allowing a driver to collect them from a nearby agreed location once the crowds begin to clear.
This avoids long waits and makes the journey back to your hotel or airport much smoother.
Visiting Anfield from Manchester Airport
Many international supporters arrive via Manchester Airport, which is about 45–60 minutes from Liverpool by car.
A direct transfer from the airport to Anfield or to your hotel in Liverpool is often the easiest option, especially when travelling with luggage or arriving close to kick-off time.
