Liverpool’s first season under Andoni Iraola will begin on the road. Friday’s release of the Premier League campaign fixtures saw the Anfield club handed an opening weekend trip to Newcastle United on Sunday, August 23.

That will be followed by Iroala’s first competitive bow in front of home supporters on the following weekend against Nottingham Forest in a 3pm start on August 29. The season’s first Merseyside derby takes place at Hill Dickinson Stadium on November 28 before Anfield hosts the return leg on January 30, 2027.

A new calendar year will begin on home soil as Frank Lampard’s Coventry City make their first trip to the red half of Merseyside in 25 years on January 2. Liverpool will round off their upcoming campaign at Anfield against Iraola’s most recent employers Bournemouth on the season’s final day of May 30.
