The details of Liverpool's Premier League trophy parade has been revealed.

After thrashing Spurs at Anfield on Sunday, the Reds were confirmed as champions for the 20th time.

But those celebrations are far from over, with attention now turning to one particularly special event - the title parade.

Of course Reds fans were deprived of such a moment in the disrupted 2020 season when Covid-19 rules meant that no parade event could be held to mark Liverpool's historic Premier League trophy.

When the Reds' won the Champions League in 2019 around 750,000 people flooded the streets, creating a remarkable sea of red across the city.

In 2022 there was also an impressive turnout as the team paraded the FA and Carabao cups.

As expected, it has now been confirmed by Liverpool City Council that Liverpool's Premier League title parade will take place on Monday May 26.

This is the day after Liverpool's final match of the season, which is a home tie at Anfield against Crystal Palace on Sunday May 25.

Supporters are reminded that bringing their own pyrotechnics/flares is prohibited in order to protect the safety of all in attendance.

Those planning to line the route and cheer the team on should expect the city to be extremely busy, not only on the Monday, but also in the days beforehand as Liverpool is hosting the major music event, Radio 1 Big Weekend.

More information and advice will be issued by the city council and partner agencies (Liverpool Football Club, Merseyside Police and Merseytravel) in the run up to the date.

The full costs of the parade will be met by Liverpool FC.

Leader of Liverpool City Council, Councillor Liam Robinson, said: “We’re delighted to officially invite Liverpool Football Club to parade around the city on the 26 May.

A Liverpool victory parade is more than football – it’s a celebration of our city’s pride, passion and community spirit.

“It’s going to be a bumper weekend in Liverpool, with Radio 1 welcoming more than 100,000 people to Sefton Park, the final Premier League match on the Sunday and then the parade on the Monday – any other city may shy away from back-to-back high-profile events, but as one of the world leader’s when it comes to staging major, successful and safe outdoor activities, Liverpool is set to shine once again under the global spotlight.

“A huge amount of work goes on behind the scenes in preparation for an event of this size and scale, and there has already been months of careful planning taking place as the Team Liverpool approach - which we saw work so well throughout Eurovision - comes to the fore again.

“It’s set to be an unforgettable Bank Holiday Weekend as we give the team the celebration they deserve.”

Chief Inspector Chris Barnes, the Silver Commander for the event, said: “We have been working with Liverpool City Council, who are organising the event, and will be supporting them with the running and policing of the Victory Parade Monday, 26 May, to ensure the event goes ahead safely and disruption to regular road users and people living and visiting the city is minimal.

“Officers will be providing a reassuring presence along the route to ensure that that day is not only one to remember, but also an enjoyable and safe event for all those attending the parade.“Rolling road closures will be put in place to accommodate the parade and although we will work with Liverpool City Council to keep disruption to a minimum, some traffic disruption is inevitable and we would ask motorists to be patient, or avoid the area of parade route where possible.“If you have plans already for Monday (26th May) or are going to be driving in and out of the area, I would ask you to familiarise yourself with the route so you can fully prepare, make alternative travel arrangements in advance, or use available public transport wherever possible.“We would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Liverpool Football Club on their success.
