Liverpool’s fixture calendar for the autumn has taken clearer shape following the latest round of Premier League broadcast selections, with three key games in November handed new dates and live television coverage.
Supporters looking ahead to the winter months will have to readjust their diaries, particularly with a grueling stretch of domestic and European commitments colliding during an intense late-autumn period.
### Crystal Palace and Manchester United Brought Forward for Sky Sports
The Reds’ hectic month of November gets underway on the road when they travel south to face Crystal Palace. Originally pencilled in as a traditional Saturday afternoon fixture, the trip to Selhurst Park has been moved to **Sunday, November 8** with a **2pm kick-off**, and will be broadcast live to millions on **Sky Sports**.
Following that assignment, Anfield will ready itself for the first heavyweight domestic showdown of the campaign against arch-rivals Manchester United. Erik ten Hag’s side will make the journey down the East Lancs Road on **Sunday, November 22**, with proceedings on Merseyside getting underway at **4.30pm**. Unsurprisingly, this blockbuster fixture has also been selected by **Sky Sports** for live coverage.
### Merseyside Derby Switch and the TNT Sports Trip to Goodison
Perhaps the most notable alteration for match-going supporters is the scheduling of the first Merseyside derby of the season.
Liverpool will make the short trip across Stanley Park to face Everton on **Sunday, November 29**, with an uncharacteristic **12pm kick-off**. Unlike the matches against Palace and United, this clash will be screened live on **TNT Sports**.
It marks Liverpool’s second-ever visit to Everton’s new waterfront stadium, following a successful outing there last September where the Reds secured a hard-fought 2-1 victory. However, the early Sunday slot ensures a frantic turnaround for those following the team home and away.
### Navigating a Brutal Winter Run
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 period is the trip to take on Brentford on Saturday, October 17, which remains safely locked into its traditional 3pm Saturday afternoon slot.
For the squad, however, the November schedule looks exceptionally demanding. Sandwiched precisely between the visit of Manchester United and the trip to Hill Dickinson Stadium is a taxing away journey in the Champions League to face Club Brugge on November 25.
It is a unforgiving sequence that will truly test the depth and resilience of the squad as the winter fixture congestion begins to bite.
