Anfield Stadium is one of the most iconic stadiums in world football, home to Liverpool FC since 1892.<\/strong> With a capacity of 61,276 seats following the expansion of the Anfield Road Stand completed in January 2024, Anfield is the fourth-largest in the Premier League \u2014 after Manchester United's Old Trafford (74,310 seats), Stadium Tottenham Hotspur<\/a> (62,850 seats), and Wembley National Stadium (90,000 seats). If you're planning to see Liverpool play in the Premier League, the Champions League, or any other competition \u2014 this is your comprehensive, detailed guide to the perfect Anfield experience.<\/p>\n Anfield has undergone an impressive architectural transformation in recent years. The first major expansion was of the Main Stand in 2016, a \u00a3114 million project that added 8,500 seats and made the main stand the largest of any stand in a Premier League stadium \u2014 with 20,500 seats across three impressive tiers. Next came the dramatic expansion of the second stand \u2014 the Anfield Road Stand \u2014 completed in January 2024 at a cost of about \u00a380 million. This expansion raised the stadium's total capacity to 61,276 seats. The club's future plans include a further expansion of the Kop and the Kenny Dalglish Stand, which could eventually raise the total capacity to about 80,000 seats \u2014 which would make Anfield one of the largest stadiums in Europe.<\/p>\n What makes Anfield special isn't just the size \u2014 it's the atmosphere. The stadium is considered by many to have the best atmosphere in England, and perhaps in all of Europe. The combination of four stands very close to the pitch, a passionate crowd that never stops singing, and the venue's rich history \u2014 creates an experience unlike any other in the world of football.<\/p>\n Before buying tickets for Liverpool, it's important to know Anfield's four stands and understand what suits you in terms of experience, view, and budget. Each stand offers a completely different experience.<\/p>\n The Kop is the beating heart of Anfield and one of the most famous stands in world football.<\/strong> It's named after the Battle of Spion Kop from 1900 during the Boer War in South Africa, in which many soldiers from the Liverpool and Lancashire area were killed. The steep hill where the battle took place resembled the steep stand built in 1906 at the south end of the pitch.<\/p>\n This is the stand where the most passionate and loudest fans sit \u2014 the singing of "You'll Never Walk Alone" before every home match starts here and spreads in waves across the whole stadium. The Kop holds about 12,390 seats on a single tier \u2014 making it one of the largest and most impressive single-tier stands in all of Europe. Even though it's seated, fans in the Kop stand for almost the entire match.<\/p>\n Price range:<\/strong> \u00a350\u2013\u00a375 for regular Premier League matches, \u00a380\u2013\u00a3120 and up for the Merseyside derby and big Champions League matches<\/p>\n Suited for:<\/strong> Fans who want the most authentic and passionate experience. Electric atmosphere, standing for most of the match, non-stop singing from the first whistle to the last<\/p>\n Note:<\/strong> Kop tickets are the most sought-after at Anfield \u2014 they usually sell out within minutes of going on sale. Almost impossible to get through the club's regular box office. Through TikTik you can find tickets even after the box office is closed<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The north stand is located opposite the Main Stand, and is named after Kenny Dalglish \u2014 a club legend who won three league titles as a player, won the European Cup in 1978 and again in 1981 and 1984, and later served as manager, leading the team to the double in 1986. The stand has two tiers of seats with an excellent, unobstructed view of the pitch.<\/p>\n Price range: \u00a345\u2013\u00a375<\/strong> (Lower Centre is the most sought-after and expensive, Upper Tier is cheaper and still has an excellent view)<\/p>\n Suited for:<\/strong> For those who want an excellent, panoramic view of the whole pitch, especially from the lower-center tier. Good atmosphere with easy access to restrooms, concessions, and facilities<\/p>\n Advantage:<\/strong> From a central seat in this stand you see the whole pitch perfectly \u2014 ideal for photography and analytical match-watching<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The stand that underwent the massive expansion completed in January 2024. It now has two modern tiers with new seats, giant screens, and upgraded service facilities. Excellent view from every seat. The lower right-hand corner is usually where the away team's fans sit (Away Section) \u2014 conditions there have also been upgraded following the expansion.<\/p>\n Price range:<\/strong><\/p>\n Suited for:<\/strong> For those looking for a reasonable budget with a new, modern view and top-level facilities. Especially recommended for first-time visitors to Anfield who want a comfortable experience<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The largest stand at Anfield \u2014 20,500 seats across three impressive tiers. Dramatically expanded in 2016 at a cost of \u00a3114 million. This is where the premium boxes, the VIP and Hospitality area, the teams' dressing rooms, the press room, and the legendary "This is Anfield" sign that players touch on their way out of the tunnel onto the pitch are located.<\/p>\n Price range:<\/strong> \u00a350\u2013\u00a390 (regular seats in the lower and middle tiers), \u00a3200 and up (Hospitality, VIP, and premium packages including food and drink)<\/p>\n Suited for:<\/strong> A premium, luxurious experience, a breathtaking panoramic view from the third tier, access to premium bars and restaurants inside the stand<\/p>\n Tip:<\/strong> The third tier (Upper Tier) offers the most impressive panoramic view in the stadium \u2014 you see the whole pitch from above, including the full Kop opposite. A stunning visual experience<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Note this important point: there are no direct flights from Ben Gurion Airport (TLV) to Liverpool.<\/strong> This is a fact that many Israelis planning a trip to Anfield aren't aware of. Liverpool's airport \u2014 John Lennon Liverpool Airport (code: LPL), named after John Lennon of the Beatles \u2014 doesn't receive direct flights from Tel Aviv. So you need to plan your route in stages. Here are the three main options:<\/p>\n Arrived at Liverpool Lime Street? Great. Now you need to get to Anfield Stadium, which is about 3.5 kilometers northeast of Liverpool's city center. Here are all the options:<\/p>\n Parking:<\/strong> There's no official parking lot at Anfield \u2014 it's a stadium located within a dense residential neighborhood. Local residents offer private parking in their yards for \u00a310\u2013\u00a320 per matchday. You can also book parking in advance through the JustPark app. But our strong recommendation: avoid driving to Anfield on matchday. The streets around the stadium are closed to traffic, congestion is very heavy, and leaving after the match can take an hour or more.<\/p>\n Liverpool offers a huge and diverse range of hotels and hostels, from simple budget hostels to luxury boutique hotels. Here are our detailed recommendations by proximity to the stadium and by budget:<\/p>\n Important tip for Israelis:<\/strong> On a big matchday, hotels around Anfield and in central Liverpool fill up very fast and prices rise. Book one to two months in advance for regular Premier League matches. If you're coming for the Merseyside derby (against Everton), a big Champions League match, or a match against Manchester United \u2014 book at least 3 months in advance.<\/p>\n One of the things that makes the matchday experience at Anfield exceptional is the wealth of food options. Liverpool is known for its rich and diverse food culture, and the Anfield area \u2014 which is undergoing significant urban renewal \u2014 offers options you won't find at other stadiums.<\/p>\n Homebaked is a real institution and one of the symbols of the Anfield area.<\/strong> Located at 197 Oakfield Road, right across from the stadium gate, this is a unique community bakery run as a cooperative by the neighborhood's residents. The bakery was founded as a community project and became a symbol of the Anfield area's renewal. You must try the following dishes:<\/p>\n A warm, homey caf\u00e9 on Anfield Road, very popular with local fans and tourists before the match. Offers a Full English Breakfast (eggs, sausages, bacon, beans, toast, and grilled tomato), fresh sandwiches, homey hot dishes, and tea and coffee. Especially friendly prices: \u00a35\u2013\u00a310 for a full, filling meal.<\/p>\n Starting in 2025, every Israeli citizen arriving in the UK must have an ETA \u2014 Electronic Travel Authorization.<\/strong> This is not a full visa, but a simple electronic authorization that costs just \u00a310 and is valid for two years (multiple entries). You must apply through the official UK ETA app (available on iPhone and Android) at least 72 hours before your flight. Without an approved ETA you will not be allowed to board your flight to the UK.<\/strong> This applies to all types of visits of up to 6 months.<\/p>\n Anfield's Kop isn't just steps with seats \u2014 it's a cultural phenomenon that has influenced all of world football. It's named after the Battle of Spion Kop (January 1900) during the Boer War in South Africa, in which hundreds of soldiers from the Lancashire regiment were killed \u2014 many of them from the Liverpool area. The steep, mountain-like hill where the deadly battle took place resembled the steep stand built in 1906.<\/p>\n In the 1960s and 1970s of the 20th century, the Kop held up to 28,000 standing fans packed together in astonishing density \u2014 a kind of roaring, surging red sea that terrified every visiting team that came to Anfield. The atmosphere was legendary \u2014 singing, shouting, humor, and complete madness. In 1994, following the Taylor Report published after the terrible Hillsborough disaster (1989, 97 Liverpool fans killed), the Kop was converted from a standing stand to an all-seater stand, and its capacity dropped to 12,390. But the atmosphere, the singing, and the spirit \u2014 remained exactly the same.<\/p>\n The song, originally written in 1945 for Rodgers and Hammerstein's musical "Carousel", became Liverpool FC's unofficial anthem in the 1960s, when fans in the Kop adopted the 1963 cover version by Gerry and the Pacemakers. Since then, "You'll Never Walk Alone" is sung with immense emotion before every home match at Anfield<\/strong> \u2014 the initials YNWA are engraved on the red Shankly Gate above the stadium's main entrance.<\/p>\n The moment when 61,000 people raise red scarves and sing together "Walk on, walk on, with hope in your hearts, and you'll never walk alone" \u2014 it's one of the most powerful, moving, and spine-tingling moments in all of world sport. Rival players, rival managers, and journalists from around the world admit that it changes the game and that there's nothing like it in any other stadium.<\/p>\n Bill Shankly, Liverpool's legendary manager (1959\u20131974), put up a metal sign reading "This is Anfield" at the entrance from the tunnel to the pitch in the early 1970s \u2014 to remind visiting teams where they had arrived and to intimidate them. Tradition says Liverpool players touch the sign on their way out to the pitch for good luck and encouragement. Different managers throughout history have treated the sign in different and surprising ways \u2014 J\u00fcrgen Klopp, when he arrived at Liverpool in 2015 as the new manager, announced that the players didn't yet deserve to touch the sign because they hadn't proven themselves. Only after the team started winning and succeeding did the players "get permission" from Klopp to touch the sign.<\/p>\n 7 May 2019, Champions League semifinal, second leg.<\/strong> Liverpool lost 0-3 in the first leg at Barcelona's Camp Nou. Without Mohamed Salah and without Roberto Firmino \u2014 the two big stars who were injured. Facing Liverpool was Barcelona with Leo Messi, Luis Su\u00e1rez, and Jordi Alba \u2014 one of the best teams in the world. No expert, no bettor, no one in the world gave Liverpool a real chance of coming back from a three-goal deficit.<\/p>\n What happened at Anfield that legendary night became one of the greatest and most moving moments in the entire history of world football: Liverpool won 4-0<\/strong> (4-3 on aggregate in Liverpool's favor). Divock Origi, who only made the starting lineup because of injuries, scored twice. Georginio Wijnaldum came off the bench at halftime and scored two goals within just two minutes \u2014 and Trent Alexander-Arnold executed the legendary quick corner, catching all of Barcelona unprepared, and Origi sealed the win with the fourth goal.<\/p>\n Anfield shook that night. 54,000 fans (the capacity before the expansion) screamed, cried, and celebrated like never before. Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde said after the match: "That crowd… they're another player on the pitch. Anfield on a European night is something else entirely. They turned the impossible into the possible." Liverpool went on to win the Champions League that same season \u2014 their sixth title.<\/p>\n Even if you didn't manage to get a ticket for a match, or you're in Liverpool on a day with no match \u2014 the guided stadium tour is worth every moment. It's an exciting and fascinating experience even for those who aren't Liverpool fans.<\/p>\n The Anfield and L4 area is undergoing an exciting process of urban renewal. In addition to visiting the stadium, here are a few things you can do in the area:<\/p>\n Ticket prices for regular Liverpool Premier League matches range from \u00a330 (Upper Anfield Road Stand \u2014 the cheapest option) to \u00a375 and up (Kop, Main Stand Centre \u2014 the most sought-after). For Champions League matches, the Merseyside derby against Everton, and matches against Manchester United \u2014 prices rise to \u00a380\u2013\u00a3150 and up. Through TikTik<\/a> you can get tickets even for matches sold out at the box office \u2014 including the Kop and Main Stand.<\/p>\n No, there are no direct flights from Ben Gurion Airport to Liverpool. The options are: (1) fly to London and then a 2:10-hour train or a cheap domestic flight, or (2) fly directly to Manchester and then just a 45-minute train ride.<\/p>\n Anfield's current capacity is 61,276 seats, following the expansion of the Anfield Road Stand completed in January 2024. This makes Anfield the fourth-largest stadium in the Premier League. Liverpool are planning a further expansion of the Kop that could raise the total capacity to about 80,000 in the future.<\/p>\n Halal food \u2014 yes, there are dedicated stalls inside the stadium at several locations. Kosher food \u2014 unfortunately not available inside the stadium, and even in Liverpool itself kosher options are very limited. Our recommendation: pack kosher food from home or buy it in London\/Manchester before arriving in Liverpool.<\/p>\n The Kop (Spion Kop) is Anfield's southern stand \u2014 home to Liverpool FC's most passionate and loudest fans. It's named after a battle from the Boer War in South Africa (1900) in which soldiers from Liverpool were killed. About 12,390 fans sit in one giant tier and create an electric atmosphere unlike anywhere else in the world \u2014 non-stop singing, incredible tifos, and energy that directly affects the match and its results.<\/p>\n Israeli citizens don't need a visa to visit the UK for up to 6 months, but starting in 2025 an ETA (Electronic Travel Authorization) is required \u2014 a simple electronic entry authorization costing \u00a310, valid for two years and multiple entries. You must apply through the official UK ETA app at least 72 hours before your flight time.<\/p>\n Train with early booking through Trainline.com \u2014 you can find tickets starting from \u00a330 from London Euston to Liverpool Lime Street (2 hours and 10 minutes). An even cheaper alternative: intercity bus Megabus or National Express \u2014 from just \u00a35\u2013\u00a315, but the ride is long: 4\u20135 hours.<\/p>\nBasic facts \u2014 Anfield by the numbers<\/h2>\n
