Liverpool's 2025-26 Premier League Schedule Revealed: All Major Derby Dates and Key Matchups Confirmed
Premier League title holders Liverpool will begin their 2025–26 season with a match against Bournemouth.
The Merseyside club secured the championship in Arne Slot's debut campaign as manager, surprising many by decisively beating Arsenal while Manchester City, who had claimed the previous four titles, suffered an unforeseen decline under Pep Guardiola.
Liverpool are widely expected to maintain their momentum and compete again, with the upcoming arrivals of Florian Wirtz and Milos Kerkez complementing the recent acquisition of Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen—the Dutch player's signing proving crucial following Trent Alexander-Arnold's move to Real Madrid.
Following their opening fixture against Bournemouth, Liverpool will encounter Newcastle United and Arsenal to conclude August, though attention will focus on the club's major clashes of the campaign against Everton, City and struggling rivals Manchester United.
The pair of Merseyside derbies with Everton, including one that will take place for the first time at the Toffees' new 52,888-capacity venue, are scheduled for September and April, while the Reds' initial encounter with City is set for November.
United, who ended 14th in the previous campaign and will be absent from European competition in 2025–26, meet Liverpool during October and May.
Liverpool conclude their campaign on the season's final day with a fixture against Brentford.
