A Liverpool Football Club victory parade will take place in the city on Sunday 29 May.

The Mayor of Liverpool, Joanne Anderson had already invited the club to take part in a victory parade in preparation for the potential outcome of the season, but following last Saturday’s Wembley win, this has been extended to include the FA Cup.

The club has officially accepted the offer so it’s all systems go for the parade at 4pm on the Sunday – the day after the Reds play Real Madrid in the Champions League Final. This is the only time all players are available due to the majority of them traveling on international duty to represent their respective countries immediately after this date.

And it’s not just about the men’s team. For the first time, the parade will also include Liverpool FC Women who clinched the FA Women’s Championship trophy last month.

As the date of the victory parade falls on the anniversary of the Heysel Stadium disaster, throughout the morning of the anniversary Liverpool City Council and Liverpool Football Club will pay tribute to the 39 supporters who lost their lives on that day. The council and the club are working together on those plans.

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

As in 2019, there will be key advice to supporters to line the entire route, plan travel in advance and expect the city to be extremely busy on the Sunday.

More information and advice will be issued by the city council and partner agencies (LFC, Merseyside Police and Merseytravel) in the run up to the date.

The full costs of the parade will be met by Liverpool Football Club, who have already won the Carabao Cup and FA Cup, and are currently one point behind Manchester City in the Premier League, with each team left with one match to play this Sunday.
