Liverpool FC’s Premier League Triumph
On Monday, May 26, 2025, Liverpool will erupt in celebration as hundreds of thousands of fans from across the globe converge to honor Liverpool FC’s second Premier League title and their record-equaling 20th top-flight crown.
The open-top bus parade, a vibrant display of the city’s pride and passion, will take place on this Bank Holiday Monday, less than 24 hours after the Reds lift the Premier League trophy at Anfield following their final match of the season against Crystal Palace. This historic moment marks a triumphant 2024-25 campaign under manager Arne Slot, who delivered the title in his debut season, cementing his place in Liverpool’s storied legacy.
Parade Route and Key Spots
The 15km (approximately 10-mile) victory parade will kick off at 2:30 PM BST from Allerton Maze in South Liverpool, winding through the city’s iconic streets and concluding at Blundell Street near The Strand. The route, consistent with Liverpool’s 2019 Champions League and 2022 cup double parades, is designed to maximize fan engagement, with an estimated 700,000 supporters expected to line the streets. Key spots along the route include:
- Allerton Maze: The starting point, where fans can catch an early glimpse of the team. Those near Mather Avenue, just before the official route begins, may see the bus as it departs from the nearby police station, offering a less crowded viewing opportunity.
- Queens Drive: A long, wide road ideal for securing a good vantage point with fewer crowds, especially early in the route before fans begin following the bus.
- Fiveways Roundabout and Rocket Flyover: Iconic landmarks where the parade gains momentum, offering picturesque settings for photos and videos.
- Mill Bank and West Derby Road: These stretches provide ample space for fans to cheer as the bus progresses through the heart of the city.
- Islington and Leeds Street: As the parade nears the city center, the energy intensifies, with fans packing these areas to catch sight of the trophy.
- The Strand: The final stretch, typically the busiest and most vibrant, where crowds are densest. However, fans are advised to avoid this area if concerned about flares or overcrowding, as past parades have seen heavy pyrotechnic use here, sometimes obscuring views.
The parade is expected to last three to five hours, potentially concluding between 5:30 PM and 7:30 PM, depending on crowd dynamics and the pace of the procession. Liverpool City Council, Merseyside Police, and Merseytravel have urged fans to plan travel in advance, with significant road closures affecting The Strand (northbound from 4:00 AM to 10:00 PM, southbound from noon to 8:00 PM) and Leeds Street (city-bound from noon to 8:00 PM). Public transport is recommended, though stations like James Street, Lime Street low level, and others will be closed, and services may face disruptions due to the concurrent Radio 1 Big Weekend festival at Sefton Park.
Fans are encouraged to arrive early, avoid driving, and refrain from bringing flares or pyrotechnics, which are strictly prohibited to ensure safety. For those unable to attend, the parade will be broadcast live on Liverpool FC’s platforms, including LFCTV GO, YouTube, Facebook, X, TikTok, and LFCTV (Sky channel 423 or Virgin Media channel 544 in the UK).
Liverpool FC’s 2024-25 Premier League Season
The 2024-25 season was a defining one for Liverpool FC, as they clinched their second Premier League title and 20th top-flight championship, matching Manchester United’s all-time record. Under the guidance of Arne Slot, who stepped into the daunting role of succeeding Jürgen Klopp, Liverpool defied expectations. Klopp’s emotional departure at the end of the previous season, after securing both a Premier League and Champions League title during his tenure, left fans uncertain about the future. Yet Slot, in his first season, led the Reds to a commanding performance, suffering only two defeats in 34 league games and potentially surpassing 90 points, a rare feat in Premier League history.
The title was secured on April 27, 2025, with a resounding 5-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield, a match that encapsulated Liverpool’s dominance throughout the campaign. The Reds held the top spot for most of the season, overcoming early challenges from Chelsea and outpacing Arsenal in the second half. Standout performances came from stars like Mohamed Salah, who continued to chase Premier League goal and assist records, and captain Virgil van Dijk, who will lift the trophy on May 25. However, the season also marked the end of an era, with Trent Alexander-Arnold set to depart after the campaign, leaving young talent Connor Bradley as a potential successor.
This victory parade, unlike the 2020 title celebration hampered by COVID-19 restrictions, offers fans a long-awaited chance to revel in their team’s glory. The event, backed by Liverpool City Council and featuring live music from DJ Calvin Harris, promises to be a historic celebration of the club’s achievement and the city’s unbreakable bond with its team.
