Liverpool F.C.’s Anfield Stadium hosted its largest ever crowd for a league fixture when Liverpool beat Brentford 2-0 on Sunday.

Liverpool F.C. said there were 60,107 spectators inside the stadium to watch manager Arne Slot register his first Premier League home victory as Reds head coach.

The new Anfield attendance figure beats the club’s previous best of 60,090 from April for the meeting with Crystal Palace.

Liverpool Football Club is a professional football club based in Liverpool, England (UK). The club competes in the Premier League, the top tier of English football.

Founded in 1892, the club joined the Football League the following year and has played its home games at Anfield since its formation.

Following the redevelopment of the Anfield Road Stand, the stadium’s overall capacity has been updated to 61,276 for the 2024-25 campaign.

The Anfield Road Stand is located on the left side of the Main Stand at Anfield. It’s where the away fans sit during matches. The lower tier of the Anfield Road End is usually reserved for about 2,000 away fans. The stand also features the Family Zone, which has activities for families.

Attendance numbers have incrementally increased over the last year as the new stand continued to develop, and work in the off-season has added more seats inside the ground.

That includes the back of the lower Anfield Road End where the away supporters are housed, a section that was empty for the duration of 2023/24.

On February 2, 1952, a crowd of 61,905 supporters attended an FA Cup fourth-round tie between Liverpool and Wolves.

In the Premier League, only Old Trafford (74,310), the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (62,850) and the London Stadium (62,850) can host more fans than Anfield.
