LFC Premier League Victory Parade Confirmed

UEFA Champions League Winners 2029

THE Leader of Liverpool City Council, Councillor Liam Robinson, has invited Liverpool Football Club to parade the City's streets to officially celebrate securing their 20th English league title.

After Arne Slot's team triumphed against Tottenham Hotspur yesterday, the City Council has hit the green light on initiating its complex parade protocol, with plans for the Premier League trophy parade to take place on:- Bank Holiday Monday, 26 May 2025, from:- 2.30 pm.

The major logistical challenges in arranging a parade of this scale, which is expected to be witnessed by hundreds of thousands of people, means months of planning has already been taking place behind the scenes with stakeholders across the City. Given the magnitude of the event, organisers are keen for the date to be publicised in advance so residents and businesses in the City can prepare.

The victory parade route will start at:- Allerton Maze and will travel Northbound on:- Queens Drive towards the Fiveways roundabout and Rocket flyover. From there it will journey along:-

Queens Drive.
Mill Bank.
West Derby Road.
Islington.
Leeds Street.
The Strand.
Route finishes at Blundell Street.

It is expected the 15km long parade will last anywhere between:- 3 to 5 hours, but this is subject to change.

As in:- 2019 and in 2022, the key advice to supporters to line the entire route, plan travel in advance and supporters are reminded that bringing their own pyrotechnics / flares is prohibited in order to protect the safety of all in attendance.

Those planning to line the route and cheer the team on should expect the city to be extremely busy, not only on the Monday, but also in the days beforehand as Liverpool is hosting the major music event, Radio 1 Big Weekend.

More information and advice will be issued by the City Council and partner agencies (Liverpool Football Club, Merseyside Police and Merseytravel) in the run up to the date.

The full costs of the parade will be met by Liverpool Football Club.

The parade is being organised by Liverpool City Council's award winning Culture Liverpool team, which has been praised for its work on the previous victory parades, and is also responsible for bringing other major events to the city, such as Eurovision 2023 and this year's Radio 1 Big Weekend.

Leader of Liverpool City Council, Councillor Liam Robinson, said:- "We're delighted to officially invite Liverpool Football Club to parade around the City on:- 26 May 2025. A Liverpool victory parade is more than football; it's a celebration of our city's pride, passion and community spirit. It's going to be a bumper weekend in Liverpool, with Radio 1 welcoming more than 100,000 people to Sefton Park, the final Premier League match on the Sunday and then the parade on the Monday; any other City may shy away from back to back high profile events, but as 1 of the world leader's when it comes to staging major, successful and safe outdoor activities, Liverpool is set to shine once again under the global spotlight. A huge amount of work goes on behind the scenes in preparation for an event of this size and scale, and there has already been months of careful planning taking place as the Team Liverpool approach; which we saw work so well throughout Eurovision; comes to the fore again. It's set to be an unforgettable Bank Holiday Weekend as we give the team the celebration they deserve."

Chief Inspector Chris Barnes, the Silver Commander for the event, said:- "We have been working with Liverpool City Council, who are organising the event, and will be supporting them with the running and policing of the:- 'Victory Parade,' to ensure the event goes ahead safely and disruption to regular road users and people living and visiting the city is minimal. Officers will be providing a reassuring presence along the route to ensure that that day is not only one to remember, but also an enjoyable and safe event for all those attending the parade. Rolling road closures will be put in place to accommodate the parade and although we will work with Liverpool City Council to keep disruption to a minimum, some traffic disruption is inevitable and we would ask motorists to be patient, or avoid the area of parade route where possible. If you have plans already for:- Monday, 26 May, or are going to be driving in and out of the area, I would ask you to familiarise yourself with the route so you can fully prepare, make alternative travel arrangements in advance, or use available public transport wherever possible. We would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Liverpool Football Club on their success. The parade on:- Monday, 26 May 2025, will be a fantastic event for the players, the club, the city, and all the fans who will turn out to cheer their team on through the streets of Liverpool."
