What Every Anfield Fixture Costs Right NowThree Tiers Hiding Behind One WordWhich Lounge Suits Which MatchdayWhy Hospitality Skips the Ballot EntirelyDress Code, Bags and TimingsBuying Direct, Through an Agent or on the Resale MarketNotes for Overseas and Gulf-Based SupportersFAQsLiverpool hospitality packages start at £226 per person for the Carabao Cup third-round tie against Tottenham Hotspur on 15 September 2026 and rise to £577 for the Champions League visit of Atletico Madrid six days earlier, according to the club's hospitality fixture list checked on 4 September 2026. The same lounge can therefore cost two and a half times more depending on who is in the away end. Understanding that gap, and what sits behind each price, is the difference between a good matchday and an expensive mistake.
Article Summary: Anfield matchday hospitality is priced per fixture rather than per lounge, with 2026/27 club-direct entry prices running from £226 (League Cup) through £382 (Fulham, Brighton, Leeds) to £574 (Manchester United) and £577 (Atletico Madrid). Every package includes a padded seat, lounge access for three hours before kick-off, a former player visit and a programme; food and drink inclusions vary sharply by tier.
- Liverpool FC's cheapest 2026/27 hospitality entry price is £226 per person for Liverpool v Tottenham Hotspur in the Carabao Cup on 15 September 2026.
- Liverpool v Manchester United on 21 November 2026 carries the highest Premier League hospitality entry price at Anfield, £574 per person as of 4 September 2026.
- No membership, season ticket or match credits are needed to buy Liverpool hospitality, and all hospitality areas at Anfield are for home supporters only.
- The Boot Room Restaurant sells junior hospitality places at £84 per person for 2026/27, capped at two per adult.
- Unauthorised resale of Anfield hospitality tickets is a criminal offence under section 166 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994, with fines up to level 5 (£5,000).
Hospitality is the one club-sold route into Anfield that ignores the ballot, which is why demand for it has grown alongside the waiting list for Liverpool tickets in general admission. It is also the most misunderstood product the club sells. Fans assume "hospitality" means a champagne reception and a padded seat behind the dugout. At Anfield it can mean that, or it can mean a busy sports bar on the Anfield Road concourse with street food and one free half-time pint.
What Every Anfield Fixture Costs Right Now
Liverpool prices hospitality by opponent, not by a fixed category letter, and the "from" figure on each fixture is the cheapest lounge still available. The table below reproduces the club's entry prices for every 2026/27 home fixture on sale as of 4 September 2026, VAT included. Kick-off dates and times remain subject to broadcaster changes.
| Fixture (2026/27) | Competition | Date | Hospitality from (per person) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Liverpool v Atletico Madrid | Champions League | Wed 9 September 2026 | £577 |
| Liverpool v Manchester United | Premier League | Sat 21 November 2026 | £574 |
| Liverpool v Manchester City | Premier League | Sun 11 October 2026 | £530 |
| Liverpool v Arsenal | Premier League | Sun 1 November 2026 | £530 |
| Liverpool v Sunderland | Premier League | Wed 2 December 2026 | £503 |
| Liverpool v Tottenham Hotspur | Premier League | Sat 19 December 2026 | £487 |
| Liverpool v Villarreal | Champions League | Tue 20 October 2026 | £408 |
| Liverpool v FC Porto | Champions League | Wed 9 December 2026 | £408 |
| Liverpool v Coventry City | Premier League | Sat 2 January 2027 | £402 |
| Liverpool v Fulham | Premier League | Sat 12 September 2026 | £382 |
| Liverpool v Brighton and Hove Albion | Premier League | Sun 25 October 2026 | £382 |
| Liverpool v Leeds United | Premier League | Sat 12 December 2026 | £382 |
| Liverpool v Tottenham Hotspur | Carabao Cup | Tue 15 September 2026 | £226 |
| Liverpool Women v Everton Women | Women's Super League | Sun 27 September 2026 | £139 |
Two things stand out. The Sunderland fixture at £503 is priced closer to a derby than to Fulham or Leeds, which points to demand-led pricing rather than a fixed opponent-category grid. And the Champions League league phase is not uniformly expensive: Villarreal and Porto sit at £408 per person, £169 below Atletico, so a European night at Anfield is available for less than a Saturday against Spurs.
The club does not publish a per-lounge price grid. Authorised resellers fill that gap with ranges: Club Sports and Events listed 2026/27 Premier League hospitality from £249 per person in September 2026, and DN Global quoted a span from around £325 for entry lounges to roughly £1,175 for premium suites on marquee fixtures in the same month. Treat those as market indicators, not club prices, and check the date on any figure you see quoted elsewhere.
Three Tiers Hiding Behind One Word
The club currently sells nine men's matchday lounges at Anfield, four Liverpool Women experiences and two hotel packages in the city centre. They split cleanly into three tiers, and the tier matters more than the lounge name when you are working out value.
| Lounge | Tier | Seat location | Food | Drinks |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Brodies Sports Bar | Sports bar | Anfield Road Stand Middle Tier | Complimentary street food pre-match | One free half-time drink, cashless pay bar |
| Carlsberg Dugout (Kop End) | Sports bar | Main Stand Middle Tier, Block M9 | Complimentary street food stalls to kick-off | One free half-time drink, cashless pay bar |
| Carlsberg Dugout (Anfield Road End) | Sports bar | Main Stand Middle Tier, Block M1 | Complimentary street food stalls to kick-off | One free half-time drink, cashless pay bar |
| Forever Reds Lounge | Sports bar | Sir Kenny Dalglish Stand Lower Tier, Blocks KG, KP, KN | Complimentary street food pre-match | One free half-time drink, cashless pay bar |
| Boot Room Restaurant | Restaurant | Anfield Road Stand Upper Tier, Block AU4 | Three-course set menu plus LFC Story museum entry | Cashless pay bar, tea and coffee at full time |
| Japan Airlines Lounge | Fine dining | Main Stand Lower Tier, Block L14, next to the Directors' Box | Three-course menu, matchday gift | Complimentary beer, house wine and soft drinks |
| Chemistry Lounge | Fine dining | Main Stand Middle Tier, Block M6 | Three-course menu, matchday gift | Complimentary beer, house wine and soft drinks, table service |
| Beautiful Game | Fine dining | Main Stand Middle Tier, Block M4 | Three-course menu, matchday gift | Complimentary beer, house wine and soft drinks, table service |
| Founders Lounge | Fine dining | Anfield Road Stand Middle Tier, Blocks AM4 and AM5 | Four-course menu, champagne on arrival, matchday gift | Complimentary full bar, half-time and full-time refreshments |
| Crowne Plaza and Hilton | Off-site | Anfield Road Stand Upper Tier | Buffet (Crowne Plaza) or three-course menu (Hilton) at the hotel | Reception drink; no hospitality inside the stadium |
Every one of these opens three hours before kick-off and closes an hour after the final whistle, according to the club's package pages read on 4 September 2026. None serves drinks from the bar during play. The sports bar tier gives you street food until kick-off, a single pre-poured drink at half-time and a cashless pay bar for everything else, and the club warns on each page that lounge seating is at a premium and table access is not assured at peak times. The fine dining tier gives you inclusive beer, house wine and soft drinks; only the Founders Lounge extends that to a full bar and champagne. That distinction is the source of most "we thought drinks were included" complaints.
The off-site hotel packages work differently again. Hospitality at the Crowne Plaza or Hilton ends two hours before kick-off, coaches drop guests near the ground and the seat is in the Upper Anfield Road Stand, which the club notes is reached by stairs with no lift. Neither package includes parking or a hotel room.
Which Lounge Suits Which Matchday
The price gap between tiers is narrow on low-demand fixtures and wide on derbies, which changes the answer to "which package should I buy" depending on the opponent. A few practical steers based on what each product actually includes:
- Strongest value on a big fixture: Brodies Sports Bar or either Carlsberg Dugout. On Manchester United or Arsenal the sports bar tier is the £530 to £574 entry point; anything above it adds dining, not a better view.
- Atmosphere over comfort: Forever Reds in the Sir Kenny Dalglish Stand puts you in the lower tier opposite the Main Stand, the closest hospitality gets to a general admission feel.
- First visit or families: the Boot Room Restaurant. Museum entry is included, junior places cost £84 for 2026/27 (maximum two per adult) and the set menu means no bar bill.
- A birthday or client occasion: Founders Lounge. It is the only matchday product with champagne and a full complimentary bar, and its Anfield Road Middle Tier seats sit at Blocks AM4 and AM5.
- European nights: the Chemistry Lounge listed only Champions League fixtures as of 4 September 2026, making it the Main Stand's dedicated UCL fine dining room this season.
Executive boxes, the Centenary Club and the Premier Club suites are sold seasonally rather than match by match, so anyone asking "how much is a box at Anfield for one game" is asking the wrong question of the club and the right one of the resale market. For a comparison of how Liverpool's tiers stack up against the other big six grounds, the wider Premier League hospitality guide covers Manchester City's new stand, Arsenal's Cannon Club and Tottenham's benchmark facilities.

Why Hospitality Skips the Ballot Entirely
Nobody needs an All Red membership, a season ticket or a match credit history to book Anfield hospitality. The club sells it directly to anyone, by fixture, which is why supporters who have spent years failing the ballot treat it as the dependable route in. Our guide to buying Liverpool tickets without a membership covers the general admission alternatives.
The trade-off changed for 2026/27. Hospitality bought for Premier League home games no longer earns match credits, a decision the club explains in its hospitality FAQs as a response to too many supporters reaching the 13-credit threshold that guarantees access to every home league game. Hospitality for Champions League, FA Cup and League Cup home fixtures still counts towards future eligibility. That makes the £226 Carabao Cup package against Spurs an unusually cheap way to build credits.
Two further rules catch out newcomers. Every hospitality area is for home supporters only, so away colours can lead to removal without refund. And under-18s are welcome in all lounges but must be accompanied by an adult holding a hospitality ticket for the same area.
Dress Code, Bags and Timings
- Dress code: the club confirms the code for your lounge on the matchday itinerary sent roughly seven days before the game. Reseller guidance describes the standard as smart casual, with the Founders Lounge steering towards business casual.
- Bags: Anfield is a no-bag stadium; the only exceptions are A5-size bags (148.5mm x 210mm) and clear LFC Superstore carrier bags.
- Timings: lounges open three hours before kick-off and close one hour after. The Crowne Plaza opens four and a half hours before kick-off because coaches leave two hours before.
- Dietary requirements: must reach the hospitality team at least 72 hours before the fixture.
- Seats: the stadium bowl seat allocated at booking cannot be changed afterwards, and parties of eight to 10 or fewer may share tables in most lounges.
Buying Direct, Through an Agent or on the Resale Market
The club sells matchday hospitality online through its ticketing platform and by phone on weekdays between 10am and 4pm. It also licenses a network of match break suppliers who bundle hospitality with at least one hotel night, plus resellers such as Club Sports and Events and Circuit Hospitality, which describe themselves as authorised for 2026/27. For a UK buyer wanting a specific lounge on a specific date, direct is usually cheapest because the price is fixed rather than demand-led.
Resale is where the law becomes relevant. Section 166 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 makes it an offence for an unauthorised person to sell a ticket for a designated football match, and the section expressly covers tickets sold within a hospitality package. The legislation sets the penalty at a fine up to level 5 on the standard scale, currently £5,000, and Liverpool has issued lifetime bans to supporters caught selling hospitality tickets on. A verified secondary marketplace works within that framework by connecting buyers with sellers operating under the relevant permissions and by standing behind the ticket, which is why the 150% money-back guarantee on every order at 1BoxOffice matters more on a £577 hospitality seat than on a standard general admission ticket.
Whichever route you take, create your account first so the purchase and the guest names attach to one login. New buyers can register with 1BoxOffice in a couple of minutes and follow delivery through the track order page once the club releases passes.
Notes for Overseas and Gulf-Based Supporters
Anfield is NFC-only. Every hospitality ticket arrives as a digital pass for Apple Wallet or Google Pay, typically in the week before the game alongside the itinerary, and it needs an iPhone 6 or later or most Android handsets. A child's pass can sit on the accompanying adult's phone. Samsung users should download through Chrome rather than the Samsung browser, a quirk the club flags in its own FAQs.
Fixture dates move. Premier League games are generally rescheduled for television around six weeks out, and Champions League nights are fixed but late-kicking, so anyone flying from Dubai, Riyadh or Doha should book flights that can absorb a Saturday-to-Sunday shift. Expedia, the club's travel partner, sells hospitality bundled with hotels for exactly this reason, though the ticket inside those bundles is non-refundable. Wheelchair-bay hospitality is available on request by phone. Before choosing a lounge, it is worth checking the Anfield seating plan to see where each block sits in relation to the tunnel and the Kop.
FAQs
1. Do Anfield hospitality tickets include parking?
-
Car parking is not listed among the inclusions of any Anfield matchday lounge package for 2026/27, and the club directs hospitality guests towards public transport.
2. Can I buy an executive box at Anfield for a single match?
-
Executive boxes, the Centenary Club and the Premier Club suites are sold by Liverpool FC on a seasonal basis only, so single-match box access is available solely through box holders releasing seats on the secondary market.
3. Is there hospitality for Liverpool Women matches at Anfield?
-
Liverpool Women's Super League fixtures staged at Anfield, including the Merseyside derby on 27 September 2026, carry hospitality from £139 per person as of 4 September 2026, with pitchside, corner flag and stadium tour experiences in the Japan Airlines Lounge.
4. What happens to my hospitality booking if the fixture date changes?
-
Liverpool FC contacts bookers directly when a fixture moves and the hospitality package stands for the new date, but travel and hotel costs remain the buyer's own risk.
5. How does Liverpool hospitality compare in price with Manchester City or Arsenal?
-
Liverpool's derby entry prices of £530 to £577 sit in line with Arsenal's mid-tier lounges and well below Manchester City's Tunnel Club, while Anfield's £382 entry lounges undercut most equivalent London products, which are typically quoted excluding 20% VAT.
Anfield hospitality is a fixture-priced product with three very different experiences behind one label, and the club's own list is the only price you should trust as face value. When a lounge you want has sold out direct, 1BoxOffice lists Liverpool home fixtures across every stand with the 150% money-back guarantee on every order.
