Liverpool FC games: confirmed May 2027 fixtures and kick-off times
Liverpool FC games are already mapped out for the 2026-27 run-in, and this is a forward-looking fixture-based piece, not a live results article. BBC Sport says Liverpool come into the season after a disappointing campaign and a summer change in the dugout, with Andoni Iraola taking over for an opening away trip to Newcastle United.

| 30/05/2027 | 16:00 | BST (UTC+1) on 30 May | Liverpool v Bournemouth | Home | Premier League |
| Verified schedule detail | What it means |
|---|---|
| BBC Sport says Andoni Iraola’s competitive Liverpool debut is away to Newcastle United. | Liverpool begin the Iraola era on the road, not at Anfield. |
| BBC Sport says Liverpool finish the 2026-27 Premier League season at home to Bournemouth on 30/05/2027 at 16:00. | The final league match is a home game, closing the run-in at Anfield. |
| BBC Sport also notes a meeting at the opponent’s stadium on the final weekend of November, with the reverse fixture at Anfield in late January, but the opponent name is missing from the extract. | A home-and-away pairing is partially confirmed, but only the timing pattern is clear. |
What the run-in tells you about Liverpool’s schedule
The verified May sequence gives Liverpool three home games in the final five, with Chelsea, Brentford and Bournemouth all at Anfield. Manchester City away lands in the middle of the month, so the run-in alternates between home control and one major away test.
That shape matters because the season closes at home to Bournemouth on 30 May, which is the clearest bookend to Iraola’s first Liverpool campaign. The other bookend is the opening away match at Newcastle United, which BBC Sport identifies as his first competitive game in charge.
The schedule also carries one wider benchmark. BBC Sport says 60 points was the lowest tally required for an English team to directly qualify for the Champions League league phase since the competition was rebranded, which is a reminder of how tight the late-season target can be.
Liverpool fixtures: short schedule note
If you only need the essentials, Liverpool’s verified late-season Premier League run-in is Chelsea, Manchester City, Brentford, Brighton and Bournemouth across May 2027, with three home dates and two away trips. The confirmed bookends are Newcastle away at the start of Iraola’s reign and Bournemouth at Anfield on 30/05/2027 at 16:00.
