Liverpool FC is set to honour Diogo Jota with a special tribute show that will air on LFCTV on Monday evening.
It comes just days after the 28-year-old forward and his younger brother, Andre Silva, lost their lives in a car accident in Spain. The tragedy has shaken not only the club but also the entire football community.
In response, the club has prepared a heartfelt remembrance show titled “Remembering Diogo: Our Number 20.”
It will first air at 6:00 pm BST (1:00 pm ET) on Monday, offering fans a moment to pause and reflect on Jota’s life, both on and off the pitch.
This tribute will feature messages from teammates, club officials, and fans. It will also look back at Jota’s time with the Reds — from his debut to his final goal in the Merseyside derby last April.
In addition to the main hour-long program, there will be a 30-minute compilation of all 65 goals he scored for Liverpool, followed by a highlight package of the April win against Everton, and then a repeat airing of the tribute at 10:00 pm BST.

Where to watch the Diogo Jota tribute programme?
Fans can watch the special on LFCTV, which will return to broadcasting after being off air since last Thursday’s devastating news.
The program will also be available on Liverpoolfc.com, the club’s official YouTube channel, social media platforms, and All Red Video.
The club wants to ensure that as many supporters as possible, across the globe, have the chance to join in remembering their number 20.
Since the accident, Anfield has become a place of mourning. The stadium gates are covered in scarves, flowers, and handwritten notes.

Fans have lined the streets to pay tribute, and a book of remembrance has been opened. Liverpool manager Arne Slot delayed the start of pre-season training by a day to allow players more time to grieve.
Though Jota may no longer walk out at Anfield, his presence will always be felt. Monday’s program is one small way the club is keeping his memory alive.
