Premier League fixtures for the 2024-25 season were released in June, with the Reds to kick off the campaign away at newly promoted Ipswich Town on Saturday August 17, 12:30pm kick-off live on TNT Sports.
The campaign will consist of 33 weekends, four midweek rounds of matches and one holiday matchweek.
A full list of fixtures is available here.
Fixtures are subject to change for television broadcast and European competition purposes, with updates to follow here.
Notable dates
Arne Slot's side travel to Portman Road at 12.30pm BST on August 17, 90 days after the 2023-24 Premier League campaign concluded.
The final match of the 2024-25 season will be played on Sunday May 25th, when all games will kick off at the same time as usual.
In keeping with previous commitments made to clubs to address the congested schedule across Christmas and New Year, arrangements will be made to allow more rest time over three of the festive match rounds, with no club playing within 60 hours of another match. There will be no Christmas Eve fixture.
The mid-season break has also been removed from the calendar to allow the mid-August start date.
Transfer windows
The Premier League summer window opened on Friday June 14.
The window will then close at 11pm BST on Friday August 30. The EFL will follow the same timeline.
The winter transfer window will then open on Wednesday January 1, closing on Monday February 3.
Champions League
Following their third-placed finish in the Premier League, Liverpool will be competing in the 2024-25 Champions League.
This year’s tournament will see significant changes, in particular to the group stage, which will become a single 36-team league stage.
Each side faces eight different teams (four at home, four away). The top eight overall will advance directly to the Round of 16, while the sides finishing from ninth to 24th will contest the knockout round play-offs, with the victors going through to the last 16. From then on it is a straight knockout.
The draw for the group stage will take place on Thursday August 29, and the group stage matchdays will be as follows:
Matchday 1: September 17-19

The knockout round play-offs will take place on February 11/12 and 18/19.
The Round of 16 matches will take place on March 4/5 and 11/12, with the quarter-finals on April 8/9 and 15/16 and the semi-finals on April 29/30 and May 6/7.
The final will be played at Bayern Munich’s Allianz Arena on Saturday May 31.
