Liverpool’s Premier League schedule in October has been reshaped, with three major fixtures moved to accommodate live television coverage.
The Reds matches against Chelsea, Manchester United, and Brentford will now take place at revised times, while the only early season clash not affected by TV scheduling remains the trip to Crystal Palace on Saturday, September 27, with a 3pm kick-off.
The month begins with a trip to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea on Saturday, October 4, now scheduled for a 5:30pm BST kick-off on Sky Sports. Following the first international break of the season, Liverpool will return to Anfield to host Manchester United on Sunday, October 19, with a 4:30pm BST start, also live on Sky Sports.
October closes with a lunchtime clash at Brentford on Saturday, October 25, currently set for 12:30pm BST on TNT Sports, but could change depending on UEFA Champions League scheduling, which has yet to be confirmed.
Before these high-profile televised clashes, Liverpool will face Newcastle United, Arsenal, Burnley, Everton, and Crystal Palace. With the Champions League group stage draw coming at the end of August, midweek European fixtures could influence the scheduling of some matches, particularly the Brentford trip.
The reigning champions will face Newcastle United away, Arsenal at Anfield, Burnley at Turf Moor, Merseyside neighbours Everton at Anfield, and Crystal Palace in September.
Arne Slot’s men kicked off their title defence with a 4-2 win over Bournemouth, with goals from Hugo Ekitike, Cody Gakpo, Federico Chiesa, and Mohamed Salah. With only two more matches before the first international break, the Reds head into September with momentum and a busy schedule ahead.
The Premier League has confirmed these fixture changes well in advance, giving supporters time to plan travel and matchday arrangements. The visit of Manchester United, in particular, will be the first game back after the international break. Liverpool will be eager to secure their first home win over United since the 7-0 victory in 2023, having drawn 2-2 in their last meeting.
Chelsea will kick off the televised October schedule, followed by United, and then Brentford. During the trip to Brentford’s Gtech Community Stadium, Liverpool will also face former players Caoimhin Kelleher, Jordan Henderson, Sepp van den Berg, and Fabio Carvalho. A potential Carabao Cup fourth-round tie could also add to a busy month of fixtures.
October promises to be a key period in Liverpool’s season, with a mix of intense Premier League battles and possible cup ties. Fans should keep an eye on Champions League scheduling, but one thing is clear: it will be a demanding month as Liverpool push to defend their Premier League title.
