Flying into Liverpool for a match? Whether you’re heading to Anfield or Everton’s new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock, planning your transport properly is essential.
On match days, Liverpool gets busy—very busy. Traffic builds, taxis get booked up, and prices can rise quickly.
Here’s how to get it right.
⚽ Distance from Liverpool Airport
- Anfield Stadium → around 8–9 miles
- Everton Stadium (Bramley-Moore Dock) → around 9–10 miles
⏱️ Journey Time
Normal conditions:
- 25–35 minutes by car
Match days:
- 40–60+ minutes depending on traffic and kick-off time
👉 Always allow extra time.
🚖 Best Option: Pre-Booked Airport Transfer
For match day travel, this is by far the most reliable option.
Why it works:
- Driver ready when you land
- Direct journey to the stadium
- Fixed price (no surge pricing)
- Drop-off as close as possible
👉 You avoid queues, delays, and last-minute stress.
🚕 Taxi Rank at the Airport
Taxis are available outside the terminal, but match days can affect availability.
Pros:
- No need to pre-book
Cons:
- Longer queues during busy periods
- Prices can vary
- Traffic delays
📱 Uber & Ride Apps
Uber is popular—but less predictable on match days.
Common issues:
- Surge pricing before and after matches
- Drivers cancelling
- Delays due to congestion
👉 It can work—but expect higher prices and longer waits.
🚌 Public Transport Options
There’s no direct route from the airport to either stadium.
Typical journey:
- Airport → City Centre (bus)
- City Centre → Stadium (bus or taxi)
Journey time:
- 60–90 minutes+
👉 Not ideal if you’re arriving with luggage or on a tight schedule.
🚦 Match Day Traffic Tips
Liverpool transforms on match days.
Expect:
- Heavy traffic near stadiums
