Anfield

Visiting Anfield – The Home of Liverpool FC

Few stadiums in Europe carry the aura and history of Anfield. Located in the north of Liverpool, this iconic ground has been home to Liverpool FC since 1892 and is one of the most atmospheric football venues in the world.
With a capacity of over 60,000, Anfield blends modern expansion with historic character. The famous Kop stand remains one of the most legendary terraces in world football, and on big European nights the atmosphere is unmatched.
If you’re planning a matchday trip, this guide covers everything you need to know — from transport and away sections to pubs and practical travel tips.

Away Section Location

Away supporters at Anfield are typically seated in the upper tier of the Anfield Road Stand. Since the recent stadium expansion, this area offers improved facilities and sightlines compared to previous seasons.
The away section is clearly separated from home supporters and usually accessible via dedicated turnstiles. Away supporters are located in the Anfield Road Stand (upper tier since the latest expansion). Allocation varies by competition:

• European matches: allocation may differ
• Premier League: approx. 3,000 seats

Away Entrance & Access

The away entrance is generally located on Anfield Road, on the north-east side of the stadium. Signage is usually clear on matchday, and stewards are present to guide visiting supporters.
It’s recommended to arrive at least 45–60 minutes before kick-off, as security checks can be thorough, especially during European fixtures.

Security & Bag Policy

Security at Anfield is typically strict during European matches. Expect:

• Bag checks at entry
• Restrictions on large backpacks
• Limited storage options near the stadium

Small bags are usually permitted, but large luggage is strongly discouraged.
For official matchday regulations, always check the visiting club’s website in the week leading up to the fixture.

Fanzone Information

For high-profile European matches, visiting supporters may be directed to a designated meeting point or fan zone before kick-off. This is determined by local authorities and can vary depending on the opponent and risk classification.
If a fan zone is organised, information is normally communicated by the away club a few days before the match.

Getting to and from Anfield

Anfield is located approximately 3 km from Liverpool city centre in the north of the city.
