Revealed: How much extra Liverpool fans need to pay supporting their team in 2025/26
Liverpool’s travelling fans have been forced to grapple with the ever-rising costs of watching their favourite Premier League team in recent years.
Season and matchday tickets, as well as club merchandise, have continued to soar in cost throughout England, leading to widespread discussion and protest.
And it’s not just the travelling fans who suffer, with those who prefer to, or must, watch their team on television also forced to fork out more and more money every season.
Liverpool make ticket concession
Liverpool are yet to officially release their home shirt for next season, but fans can expect an increase in price.
Chelsea, who share kit manufacturers, Nike, are advertising next season’s home shirt for £84.99, an increase of just under £5 from last season.
Additionally, the children’s kit has also increased in price by the same amount.
This will be the second year running in which Liverpool fans will likely be forced to shell out an increased amount to wear their team’s latest shirt, with the last also rising in price by around £5 from the season before.
Fortunately, the Reds have made a concession where many other clubs have not, by agreeing to freeze ticket prices.
Following discussions earlier this year between the club and several supporters’ groups – in which fans expressed their fears about rising ticket prices – Liverpool announced that ticket prices would be frozen for the upcoming season.
The club also confirmed that admission via junior tickets would continue to be frozen at £9 for the 10th consecutive season.
Liverpool said the decision was made despite significant increases in Anfield matchday operating costs and rises in the cost of football operations.
The announcement also came in a period in which Manchester United faced severe criticism for raising their ticket prices mid-season.
Furthermore, Premier League clubs have unanimously agreed to retain the £30 cap on away ticket prices for next season.
Liverpool fans continue to battle rising costs
While Liverpool’s travelling core will be encouraged by the club’s latest commitment against rising ticket prices, much of the war on fans is away from the club itself.
Train fares again increased in England and Wales in 2025, with all regulated tickets rising by 4.6%.
Most railcards also increased in price by £5, further adding to the immense cost often required to visit most of Liverpool’s Premier League opponents.
And that’s not to mention the cost of foreign travel, following the increase in European opponents due to the change to the Champions League format.
Fans who opt for the sofa on matchday will find it hard to escape rising costs, too, with Sky Sports and TNT Sports continuing to price out a monopolised market.
While the Premier League continues to soar in profits and transfer fees skyrocket, fans will once again be left to balance their support against their finances.
