Last season

Liverpool finished 5th in the Premier League with 60 points from 38 matches: 17 won, 9 drawn, 12 lost. That is around the places that qualify for the Europa League and Conference League, a level below the Champions League. That is the 2025-26 season; 2026-27 has only just kicked off.

What to know before you follow them

Liverpool supporters take the club’s history and its relationship with the city seriously. The rivalry with Manchester United is genuine and unpleasant at its edges, and there is real sensitivity around the Hillsborough disaster.

What people sing

You'll Never Walk Alone

Sung by the whole ground immediately before kickoff, scarves held above heads. It is a show tune from 1945 that the club adopted in the 1960s, and it is the reason many neutrals watch Anfield on television.

Allez Allez Allez

A newer song that spread during the 2018 European run. Easy to pick up, and you will hear it away from the ground as much as inside it.

Who the rivals are

Manchester United
The biggest rivalry in English football, rooted in two industrial cities competing long before either had a football team.
Everton
The Merseyside derby. Families are split down the middle, which makes it sharper and more personal than most.

Following them from America

One of the largest American followings of any European club, and organized enough that most big cities have a regular bar with a booked table on match mornings.
