**Liverpool FC have finalised their pre-season plans for the 2026/27 campaign, confirming two high-profile home fixtures at Anfield to wrap up their summer preparations**.
The Reds will welcome Ligue 1 mainstays **AS Monaco on Sunday, August 9 (2:30 PM BST)**, before hosting Italian side **Como 1907 a week later on Sunday, August 16 (6:00 PM BST)**.
The newly added fixtures will follow a three-match summer tour of the United States, providing the final tuning ground before the Premier League campaign kicks off.
Before returning to Merseyside, Liverpool will cross the Atlantic for a high-intensity US tour directly following the conclusion of the 2026 World Cup.
The Stateside series features a distinct domestic flavor, beginning in Nashville against **Sunderland on July 25**. Four days later, the Reds travel to New York for a highly anticipated clash against **Wrexham at Yankee Stadium on July 29**, a fixture expected to draw massive crowds due to the Welsh club’s global popularity. The tour concludes in Chicago on **August 2 against Leeds United** at Soldier Field.
The pre-season schedule is set to mark the dawn of a new era at Anfield. Following the sudden sacking of Arne Slot just one year after his Premier League title triumph Liverpool are in advanced talks to [appoint former Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola.](https://readliverpoolfc.com/news/david-ornstein-liverpool-andoni-iraola-arne-slot-replacement/)
Driven by Sporting Director Richard Hughes, FSG’s move for Iraola signals a desire to return to a front-foot, high-intensity style of football. Iraola is expected to take his first training sessions at the AXA Training Centre in early July, though several key first-team players will report late due to World Cup commitments.
The Anfield double-header offers intriguing history. Liverpool haven’t faced Monaco in over 20 years, with their only previous competitive meetings coming during the 2004/05 Champions League group stage—the legendary campaign that ended with silverware in Istanbul.
Meanwhile, Cesc Fàbregas’s Como 1907, who just secured a historic fourth-place finish in Serie A to qualify for the Champions League, will face Liverpool for the first time in their history.
Tickets for both Anfield friendlies will go on sale to priority groups starting **Wednesday, June 3 at 10:00 AM BST**, with a general sale following on **Friday, June 5 at 10:00 AM BST**, subject to availability. Priority access includes Men’s and Women’s season ticket holders, seasonal hospitality members, and Official Members (Full, Light, and Junior).

Spreading the final home friendlies across consecutive weekends, rather than the same-day double-headers we’ve seen recently, is a smart operational move. It gives Iraola two distinct, full-dress rehearsals at Anfield to drill his aggressive pressing structures against Champions League-calibre opposition in Monaco and Como.
For a squad undergoing a seismic transition after a grueling World Cup summer, these final 180 minutes on home turf will be vital for hitting the ground running.
