Autumn has well and truly descended upon Merseyside, and with it has come the inevitable flurry of Premier League television broadcast selections. For Liverpool supporters eagerly planning their diaries, the latest round of schedule amendments brings a massive wave of fixture changes. Consequently, the club’s calendar for late autumn has morphed into an absolute gauntlet of high-octane football.
[Premier League officials recently](https://www.premierleague.com/en/) confirmed the rescheduled dates and kick-off times for three of the Reds’ crucial fixtures throughout November. Because broadcasters have snapped up almost every single contest between now and December, match-going fans and armchair viewers alike must prepare for a relentless sequence of blockbuster games.
The hectic November schedule officially kicks off on the road. Specifically, Andoni Iraola side will travel south to face Crystal Palace on **Sunday, November 8**. Originally pencilled in for a traditional Saturday afternoon slot, this tricky assignment at Selhurst Park now boasts a **2pm kick-off**. Furthermore, **Sky Sports** will broadcast the clash live to millions across the nation.
Following that stern test in the capital, Anfield will ready itself for the first heavyweight domestic showdown of the campaign against arch-rivals Manchester United. Historically, this fixture guarantees fireworks, drama, and maximum intensity. Manchester United will make the journey down the East Lancs Road on **Sunday, November 22**, with proceedings on Merseyside getting underway at **4.30pm**. Unsurprisingly, television executives selected this blockbuster affair for live coverage on **Sky Sports** as well.
Perhaps the most controversial and notable alteration for match-going supporters is the scheduling of the first Merseyside derby of the season. Traditionally, fans anticipate a late-afternoon atmosphere under the floodlights for this cross-town rivalry. However, television selections have completely upended convention this time around.
Liverpool will make the short journey across Stanley Park to face Everton on **Sunday, November 29**, featuring an uncharacteristic **12pm kick-off**. Unlike the matches against Palace and United, this fierce encounter will be screened live on **TNT Sports**.
Intriguingly, this fixture marks Liverpool’s second-ever visit to Everton’s brand-new waterfront stadium. Last September, the Reds secured a hard-fought [2-1 victory at the ground,](https://readliverpoolfc.com/news/liverpool-fans-will-absolutely-love-steven-gerrards-savage-everton-claim/) etching their names into the early history of the arena. Nevertheless, the early Sunday slot guarantees a frantic logistical turnaround for traveling fans and coaching staff alike.
The latest adjustments mean that virtually every single Liverpool Premier League fixture between now and December has been picked up for live television broadcast in the UK. In fact, the solitary exception during this entire stretch is the trip to take on Brentford on Saturday, October 17. That particular match remains safely locked into its traditional 3pm Saturday afternoon slot.
For the players and backroom staff, however, the November schedule looks exceptionally demanding. Sandwiched precisely between the visit of Manchester United and the trip to Goodison Park lies a taxing away journey in the Champions League to face Club Brugge on November 25.
Ultimately, this unforgiving sequence will test the depth, resilience, and tactical flexibility of the entire squad. Squad rotation will no longer be a luxury; rather, it will serve as an absolute necessity if Liverpool intend to fight on all fronts.
