Opened 1884
Anfield is one of the most famous football stadiums in the world, home to Liverpool FC since 1892 and the setting for countless historic European nights and title-deciding clashes. The ground's capacity increased to over 61,000 following the completion of the Anfield Road End expansion in 2023, cementing its place among the largest club stadiums in England. The pre-match rendition of You'll Never Walk Alone by the crowd remains one of the most recognisable sounds in global sport and gives visiting teams a unique and often overwhelming experience.
