Where to Watch Liverpool in the City Centre
No ticket, or watching an away game? These are the places worth your time in Liverpool city centre, and the one rule you need to know before you go.
Venues and TV details last checked: 08/10/2026The Saturday 3pm Blackout
Premier League games kicking off at 3pm on a Saturday are not shown live anywhere in the UK. That means no pub can legally show them, however many screens it has. If your match is a 3pm Saturday, the city centre is the wrong plan for watching it.
Everything else on this page is for games that are on TV: the Saturday 12:30 game, Saturday evening and Sunday games, Monday nights, midweek rounds, European nights and away games.
Can You Actually Watch It?
Check the kick-off time first. It decides everything.
| Kick-off | On live TV in the UK? | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Saturday 3pm | No, blackout | Not in a pub. Catch the highlights on Match of the Day that night. |
| Saturday 12:30 | Yes | Pubs and bars with a TNT Sports subscription |
| Saturday evening, Sunday, Monday, most midweek | Yes | Pubs and bars with Sky Sports or TNT Sports, depending on the game |
| Champions League and European games | Yes | Pubs and bars showing TNT Sports or Amazon Prime Video, depending on the game. Check who has your game, as the rights are split between them. |
| Away games | Depends on the slot | Same rules as above. A 3pm Saturday away game is blacked out too. |
Under the current Premier League deal, Sky Sports shows at least 215 live games a season and TNT Sports shows 52, and the BBC shows highlights of every game.

Always check on the day
Pubs choose which games to show, and what they show depends on which TV packages they pay for. Look at the venue’s own social media on the day, or ring ahead, before you travel for a specific game.
