Liverpool FC Premier League parade route map released

The full details of Liverpool FC's Premier League victory parade have been released.

Hundreds of thousands of fans are expected to line the streets on Monday, 26 May, as the team shows off the Premier League trophy from an open-top bus.

The 15-km (10-mile) parade is scheduled to start at 14:30 BST from Allerton Maze, travelling north on Queens Drive towards the Fiveways roundabout and Rocket flyover.

From there it will continue along Queens Drive, Mill Bank, West Derby Road, Islington, Leeds Street, and The Strand, finishing at Blundell Street.

Liverpool City Council's cabinet member for culture and public health, Councillor Harry Doyle, said: "Bank Holiday Monday is set to be a day to remember for the whole city, and with an event of this scale, a bit of planning goes a long way.

"That's why we've created a clear, easy FAQs to make sure everyone has the key information they need to feel confident, stay safe, and enjoy the day in their own way."

The council has warned people not to bring flares or fly any drones.

Fans who cannot attend can also watch it live across LFC's platforms including LFCTV GO, YouTube, Facebook, X and TikTok as well as LFCTV on Sky channel 423 or Virgin Media channel 544 in the UK.

Several roads will be closed including The Strand northbound from the Upper Parliament Street/Great George Street junction to Leeds Street/Great Howard Street junction from 04.00 – 22.00, or until it is safe to re-open.

The southbound lane will be closed from approx. 12.00 – 20.00, again subject to crowd safety requirements.

Additionally, Leeds Street City bound will be closed from 12.00 until approx. 20.00.

Drivers are advised to avoid the route and use public transport to get to the city centre.
