Andoni Iraola opens his Liverpool reign against Newcastle United on Super Sunday, 23 August, 4:30 p.m. at St James’ Park. The Reds start the 2026‑27 Premier League campaign with a 4‑match run that includes Nottingham Forest and Ipswich Town before returning to former club Bournemouth on 19 September. Skysports will air the fixture live.

Liverpool’s first fortnight features a mix of home and away clashes, including a 3 p.m. home win at Nottingham Forest on 29 August and a 3 p.m. away trip to Ipswich on 5 September. The club will also face Fulham, Bournemouth, Man City and Arsenal before heading into the winter break, with SkySports guaranteed to cover at least 215 live matches this season today.

Mid‑season, Liverpool will host Crystal Palace, play Manchester United at Old Trafford, and travel to Everton for a Merseyside derby. In February, the Reds face Arsenal and Everton again, tightening the race for Champions League qualification. The season concludes on 30 May with a home match against Bournemouth, after a 1‑Saturday clash with Chelsea and a 2‑week run to the title finish.
