Buy Liverpool vs Chelsea tickets for the 2026/27 Season, with the match listed for Saturday 1 May 2027 at a provisional 15:00 kick-off at Anfield. A fixture of this size is almost certain to be picked for television, so expect the slot to move once broadcasters make their choices in the spring. What will not change is the occasion: two of the Premier League's heavyweights meeting at Anfield with only a handful of rounds left.

Few league fixtures carry this much history in the modern era. These clubs have shared title races, cup finals and European semi-finals, and every meeting at Anfield is treated as a statement. For every other date on the calendar, our Liverpool listings cover the Reds home and away.
Below you will find what seats cost, which stand suits which kind of buyer, how the club's membership system works, how tickets reach you and what 34 Premier League meetings at Anfield say about this matchup. Everything here is built around two questions: where should you sit and when should you buy?
Anfield holds more than 61,000 following the expansion of the Anfield Road Stand, and every home league match sells out to members and season ticket holders. For a visit from Chelsea, demand runs further ahead of supply than for almost any other date of the season. The resale market is the only route for most buyers, and it moves quickly.
Chelsea bring a large and vocal travelling following from west London, filling an allocation of around 3,000 in the Anfield Road Stand. Their supporters are used to a home crowd of around 40,000 at Stamford Bridge, and the scale of Anfield on a big day is part of the draw for those who travel.
Away tickets go to Chelsea's own members first, through the club's loyalty system, so even many regular travellers miss out on this trip. If you follow the Blues through the season, our Chelsea listings track their full schedule.
Timing adds pressure. Early May is the closing straight of the Premier League season, and a meeting between these two clubs can shape the title race, the European places or both. Whatever is at stake tends to be settled in exactly these weeks.
International demand is the final layer. Liverpool's global following means a significant share of every Anfield crowd travels from overseas, and a spring date against a rival of Chelsea's profile is one of the most requested matches of the season. Those buyers compete for the same small pool of resale seats as local fans without memberships.
Both clubs arrive with recent silverware to defend. Liverpool were crowned Premier League champions in 2024/25, while Chelsea won the Conference League in the same season. That shared sense of a big-club fixture between winners only adds to the pull of the date.
The reverse fixture comes first. Chelsea host Liverpool at Stamford Bridge in December 2026, and the result there will frame the return meeting in May. A home win for either side in London will only sharpen the appetite for Anfield.
Not directly from the club. Home Premier League tickets at Anfield go first to season ticket holders, with remaining seats offered to paying members, usually through ballots and sales weighted towards members with a history of buying. For a fixture of this size, the member sales are heavily oversubscribed.
Membership is only a ticket to the queue. Even paying members are not guaranteed a seat, and for the most popular fixtures many go without. There is no general sale for a match like this, so buyers without a membership have no route through the club at all.
That is where a verified marketplace earns its place. 1BoxOffice lists seats from vetted sellers across the ground, with the stand, tier, delivery method and any restriction shown before you pay. You skip the membership step entirely, can buy several seats together in one order and keep the money-back guarantee in place until you are through the turnstile.
One rule matters here as at every Premier League ground. Some listings in home areas state that away fans are not permitted. Read that note before checkout; Chelsea supporters should buy in the away section or choose listings without that restriction.
Buyers who already hold a membership can still use both routes. Enter the club's ballot if you are eligible, then compare the marketplace listings if it does not go your way, rather than leaving the decision until the final week.
Five things set the price for this match: where in the ground you sit, how much demand builds in the final weeks, how close to kick-off you buy, what is at stake for both clubs in the 2026/27 run-in and whether you want a premium or hospitality seat. Listings at Anfield are grouped by longside and shortside, lower and upper tier, which makes like-for-like comparison straightforward.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shortside upper tier | £180 – £260 | Budget-conscious buyers | High behind-the-goal views from the Anfield Road Stand |
| Longside upper tier | £200 – £300 | Fans who like to read the game | Upper levels of the Main Stand or the Sir Kenny Dalglish Stand |
| Shortside lower tier | £220 – £320 | Atmosphere seekers | Close to the goal, including seats near the Kop |
| Longside central lower | £280 – £420+ | Couples and special occasions | Near the halfway line, close to the touchline |
| Hospitality / VIP | £500 – £900+ | Corporate guests and gifts | Lounge and match packages; inclusions vary |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
Seat location does most of the work. The central lower longside is where prices peak outside hospitality, while the upper tiers and the ends sit lower. The quality gap is narrower than the price gap, because Anfield's stands rise steeply and keep even the upper rows close to the pitch.
Opponent profile shapes the rest. Chelsea sit in the very top band of visitors at Anfield, alongside the north-west rivalry with Manchester United. Resale prices for these dates rarely soften, and in a tight run-in they climb further in the final fortnight.
Kick-off time can move prices too. A shift to a Sunday afternoon or an evening slot for television changes who can travel and how much they will pay. International buyers often find a televised slot easier to plan around, which can push demand up rather than down.
Hospitality is worth comparing even on a budget. Entry-level packages for this fixture start not far above the top of the central resale range, and they add food, drink and a guaranteed seat with clear delivery terms. If you were planning to pay the most for a lower-tier sideline seat, look at the two side by side.
Group size matters as well. Because club sales favour single seats, adjoining pairs and fours are scarcer at Anfield than at most grounds. Groups of four or more should buy early and use the seats-together filter.
Anfield has been Liverpool's home since 1892. The Kop, one of the most famous single-tier stands in English football, closes one end. The Main Stand, rebuilt and expanded in 2016, runs along one side, the Sir Kenny Dalglish Stand faces it and the Anfield Road Stand, expanded in 2024, closes the other end and houses the away section.
Before choosing a block, study the layout on our Anfield seating plan. It shows how the four stands, their tiers and the away section fit together.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Kop | Committed home support | Mid range | The famous home end; flags, songs and standing for the full match |
| Main Stand (lower) | Neutrals, couples and first-timers | Premium | A complete sideline view close to the pitch |
| Main Stand (upper) | Fans who want the full picture | Mid range to premium | High and steep, with a sweeping view across the ground |
| Sir Kenny Dalglish Stand | Neutrals wanting a sideline seat | Mid range to premium | Faces the Main Stand; good views from both tiers |
| Anfield Road Stand (home areas) | Budget buyers wanting an end view | Entry level to mid range | Expanded in 2024, facing the Kop |
| Away section (Anfield Road Stand) | Chelsea supporters only | Mid range | Around 3,000 visiting fans at the Anfield Road end |
Neutral buyers and undecided fans should look first at the lower tier of the Sir Kenny Dalglish Stand or the Main Stand. You get a full sideline view with the Kop in full voice to one side, without any pressure to join in. Keep Chelsea colours out of every home area; many listings forbid them and stewards act on it.
The Kop is a world of its own. Seats there suit adults who want to sing and stand for the whole match, and the atmosphere before kick-off is part of the experience. Families with younger children are better placed in the sideline stands, where the crowd is calmer and the exits are easier to reach.
The angle changes more between tiers than between stands. Lower-tier seats near the touchline put you level with the play, while the upper tiers offer a view that suits fans who want to see shape and movement. The trade-off is a longer walk to the exits after the final whistle.
The expanded Anfield Road Stand added around 7,000 seats when it opened in 2024, bringing the capacity past 61,000. Its upper tier gives a high, end-on view straight down the pitch towards the Kop, and on a big day the noise travels the length of the ground.
If you are weighing this match against other dates at the ground, our Anfield tickets listings show every event on sale there in one place.
Hospitality at Anfield ranges from lively pre-match venues to premium lounges inside the stadium. For this fixture, live packages start at around £500 per person and climb to more than £850 for the most exclusive options, which reflects the profile of the match.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Brodies Lounge and Sports Bar | Groups of friends | A relaxed pre-match setting with food, drink and a match seat |
| Village at the Sandon | Fans who want the history | Hospitality at the pub where the club was founded, close to the ground |
| The Anfield Beat | Couples and small groups | A lively, music-led lounge with food and drink before kick-off |
| Premier Club | Client entertaining | Premium dining with central seating |
Packages differ in what they include, from a full meal to drinks only, so read the listing notes for catering, arrival times and dress code. For a fixture of this profile, hospitality often sells out before general resale seats, so book early if a lounge is the aim.
Choosing between options comes down to atmosphere and budget. The off-site and bar-style packages suit groups who want the social side of the day, while the premium lounges suit guests who want a quieter setting and the most central seats in the ground.
Tickets at Anfield are digital, delivered to a phone or forwarded through the club's system, so delivery for this fixture is mostly a mobile process. Every listing states the method before you buy.
| Delivery Type | What to Check |
|---|---|
| Mobile ticket | The app or wallet used for entry and when the ticket will appear on your phone |
| Forwarded ticket | The account details the seller needs to forward the seat, plus the deadline |
| E-ticket (PDF) | Whether it can be scanned from a screen or must be printed |
| Hospitality confirmation | The lounge or venue name, arrival time and how your access is issued |
Many sellers deliver in the final days before the match, once tickets can be forwarded through the club's system. A later delivery window is normal at Anfield rather than a warning sign, and your order stays covered by the guarantee until you are inside.
Check the listing notes before checkout so you know which method applies. Bring valid photo ID in case it is checked at the turnstile. Charge your phone fully before you set off, because mobile entry depends on it.
Travel light on matchday. Bags larger than A4 size are not allowed into Anfield, and there is limited storage nearby, so leave larger luggage at your hotel. A small bag, your phone and your ID are all you need.
Getting there takes planning. Anfield sits in a residential area about two miles from Liverpool city centre with no station on the doorstep. Most fans take a bus from the city centre or the matchday shuttle bus from Sandhills station on the Merseyrail network.
Leave more time than you think you need. A crowd of more than 60,000 heading for the same streets builds queues before kick-off and long waits for transport afterwards. Aim to be at your turnstile at least 45 minutes before the start.

Liverpool John Lennon Airport and Manchester Airport are the main gateways, with direct flights from across Europe and further afield; Manchester also offers long-haul routes and a direct train to Liverpool Lime Street. From the city centre, buses and taxis cover the final stretch to Anfield. Mobile ticket listings suit overseas buyers best, since nothing needs posting abroad, but make sure your phone works on a UK network or has the ticket stored offline before you leave the hotel.
Use the seats-together filter when booking for a group and confirm the split in the listing notes before you pay. Build some slack into your travel too, because a provisional Saturday slot is very likely to move once broadcasters make their picks, so flexible fares or a two-night stay protect you if the match shifts. If you want both meetings this season, listings for Chelsea vs Liverpool cover the December trip to London.
In the early Premier League years Anfield was a fortress against Chelsea. Liverpool won nine of the first 11 league meetings here and lost none, including a 5-1 in September 1996 and a 4-2 a year later. The balance shifted in the mid-2000s, when Chelsea won three in a row at Anfield, including a 4-1 in October 2005 as reigning champions, and the fixture became one of the defining rivalries of the era.
The meetings since have carried enormous weight. In April 2014, Chelsea's 2-0 win here dealt a decisive blow to Liverpool's title challenge. In July 2020, Liverpool beat Chelsea 5-3 at Anfield and lifted the Premier League trophy on the Kop that same night, the club's first league title in 30 years. More recent meetings have been tight, with five of the last 10 at Anfield ending level.
The 2018/19 meeting showed how much these matches can matter. Liverpool's 2-0 win at Anfield in April 2019 kept them in a title race they eventually lost by a single point, and the reverse of that heartbreak came a year later with the trophy night against the same opponents. Few fixtures have been woven so closely into the club's recent story.
What makes the fixture distinctive is the way the stakes keep rising. Liverpool hold a clear advantage at Anfield, with 17 wins in 34 Premier League meetings, but Chelsea have won here seven times and have taken points in many of the defining moments. For a buyer, that means a match that rarely feels settled until the final whistle.

Not when you buy through 1BoxOffice; the seller holds the club account and forwards the ticket to you before the match.
As early as you can, because demand for this fixture builds steadily and the most popular stands thin out well before match week.
The away section is in the Anfield Road Stand, and Chelsea fans should avoid home-area listings marked as closed to away supporters.
Most combine a match seat with food and drink before kick-off, with premium lounges adding fine dining and the most central seats.
Yes, provided you choose a listing marked as seated together; booking early matters more here because adjoining seats are scarce.
