Excitement is building for the 2022/23 season, which kicks off in less than 32 days when Jurgen Klopp takes his side to newly promoted Fulham on Saturday 6 August. The Reds knew from the outset that they faced a 12.30pm kick-off, and now it has been confirmed that their second game of the season will follow nine days later. Anfield will host their first game against Crystal Palace under the lights, having been moved to Monday August 15, kick-off at 8pm on Sky Sports for those in the UK. It’s an extended break that Klopp will be looking forward to using as a valuable training block but, for fans, it leaves plenty of time to sit and wait for Anfield to kick off. A further four games in August and September have been selected for television, including the Merseyside derby.
5 games were selected for television in August and September Trip to Man United: Monday 22 August, 8pm Trip to Everton: Saturday 3rd September, 12.30pm Two 3pm kick-offs: Bournemouth and Wolves
Of course, it also includes the trip to Manchester United, which also takes place on Monday evening, August 22 at Old Trafford, with Sky Sports having the rights for the game at 8pm. Bournemouth (August 27) and Newcastle (August 31) are next up for the Reds to close out the first month of the season, with the former being the first leg at 3pm. The first Merseyside derby, at Goodison, kicks off in September and will be played on Saturday 3rd September, with kick-off scheduled for 12.30pm on BT Sport. Wolves then make the trip to Anfield on Saturday September 10 for a 3pm kick-off. It all makes for plenty of late and early starts for Liverpool in the opening two months of the season.
