Away fans traveling to Anfield have several transport options, with a dedicated bus service from the city centre being a particularly convenient and direct method for match days.
Dedicated Bus Services for Match Days
For supporters looking for a direct route to Anfield from Liverpool city centre, a specialized bus service, including the 917 and Soccerbus, is available. This service is specifically designed to shuttle fans directly to the stadium, simplifying matchday travel.
- Pre-Match Travel: Buses begin operating approximately three and a half hours before kick-off, allowing fans ample time to reach the stadium, soak in the atmosphere, and find their seats.
- Post-Match Travel: Once the game has concluded, buses depart from Anfield just 10 minutes after the final whistle, ensuring a swift exit from the stadium area.
Below is a summary of the dedicated bus service details:
| Service Type | Route | Pre-Match Departure Timing | Post-Match Departure Timing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Soccerbus/917 | Liverpool City Centre to Anfield | From 3.5 hours before kick-off | 10 minutes after the final whistle |
Other General Travel Options
While the dedicated bus service offers a straightforward solution, away fans may also consider other common methods for reaching Anfield:
- Taxis and Ride-Sharing: Taxis are widely available throughout Liverpool and can provide a direct, door-to-stadium service, though prices may vary, especially on match days.
- Public Buses: Local bus services also operate routes that pass near Anfield, offering an alternative for those familiar with the city's bus network.
- Private Car: Driving to Anfield is an option, but parking directly at the stadium is extremely limited. Many fans choose to use official matchday parking facilities located further away, which often include shuttle services to the ground.
Regardless of the chosen method, planning your journey in advance, especially on match days, is highly recommended to ensure a smooth and enjoyable trip to Anfield.
