Liverpool supporters planning the opening weeks of the new Premier League season will need to update their calendars after three fixture changes were officially confirmed.
The Reds’ matches against Nottingham Forest, Ipswich Town and AFC Bournemouth have all been selected for live television coverage, resulting in revised kick-off times and dates.
For supporters travelling to games or planning weekends around Liverpool fixtures, the changes are significant.
Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest
The first adjustment comes when Liverpool welcome Nottingham Forest to Anfield.
The fixture will now take place on:
📅 Saturday, August 29 ⏰ Kick-off: 12:30pm (BST) 📺 Live on TNT Sports
An early Saturday kick-off always creates a different atmosphere, and Liverpool will be hoping to make Anfield a difficult place for Forest as Andoni Iraola continues to implement his ideas.
Ipswich Town vs Liverpool
Liverpool’s trip to Ipswich Town has also been moved.
The match will now be played on:
📅 Friday, September 4 ⏰ Kick-off: 8:00pm (BST) 📺 Live on Sky Sports
Friday night football is becoming an increasingly familiar part of the Premier League calendar, and it will provide Liverpool with another opportunity to showcase their progress under the new head coach.
Bournemouth vs Liverpool
Perhaps the most intriguing fixture sees Liverpool travel to Bournemouth, where Andoni Iraola will return to face his former club.
The match has been rescheduled to:
Sunday, September 20
Kick-off: 2:00pm (BST)
Live on Sky Sports
That game will undoubtedly attract plenty of attention, with Iraola returning to the Vitality Stadium for the first time since taking charge at Anfield.
A Busy Start to the Season
Liverpool already face a demanding opening to the campaign, and the latest television selections ensure supporters across the country will have plenty of opportunities to watch the Reds live.
The revised schedule also gives Iraola several high-profile occasions to continue building momentum during his first few months in charge.
With excitement growing around Liverpool’s new era, every televised performance will inevitably come under close scrutiny.
Updated Liverpool TV Fixtures
Liverpool supporters can now plan around the confirmed changes:
● Nottingham Forest (H) – Saturday, August 29 – 12:30pm BST – TNT Sports
● Ipswich Town (A) – Friday, September 4 – 8:00pm BST – Sky Sports
● AFC Bournemouth (A) – Sunday, September 20 – 2:00pm BST – Sky Sports
As always, further fixture changes are expected throughout the season as broadcasters continue selecting matches for live coverage.
For now, though, Liverpool supporters have three more dates firmly locked into the diary as anticipation continues to build ahead of the 2026/27 campaign.
