Liverpool are set for an event-filled pre-season, including a trip to Thailand and Singapore, before returning to Europe to face warm up games in Germany and Austria.
The Reds ended last season on low after losing out on the Premier League to Manchester City in agonising last day fashion and coming up short Champions League in Paris after a Vinicius Jr goal saw Real Madrid hoist the trophy.
After losing 4-0 to Manchester United in Bangkok earlier this week Jurgen Klopp will want to see a dramatic improvement in the rest of Liverpool’s pre-season schedule, the details of which you will find below.
Here is a comprehensive breakdown of how Liverpool’s pre-season will operate:
- Liverpool 0-4 Manchester United – 12 July
- Liverpool vs Crystal Palace – 15 July
- Liverpool vs RB Leipzig – 21 July
- Liverpool vs RB Salzburg – 27 July
- Liverpool vs Man City – 30 July
- Liverpool vs Strasbourg – 31 July

Liverpool Pre-Season Locations
Liverpool began their pre-season schedule in Thailand where they came unstuck against Manchester United in the Rajamangala Stadium in the vibrant capital city of Bangkok. Goals from Jadon Sancho, Fred, Anthony Martial and Facundo Pellistri left Jurgen Klopp scratching his head.
Next up is a match against Crystal Palace in front of the adoring Reds fans of Singapore. The game will take place at the 55,000 capacity National Stadium.
Liverpool will then jet back to Europe for a clash with RB Leipzig in the Red Bull Arena, which is followed by another warm up match against RB Salzburg in Austria at their 30,000 capacity Red Bull Arena.
The FA Cup champions will subsequently return to the UK for a Community Shield against Premier League champions Manchester City in a game which will take place at Leicester’s King Power Stadium rather than the usual venue of Wembley.
To conclude their pre-season, Liverpool play host to French side Strasbourg in their only home friendly at Anfield.
