Liverpool FC will conclude its preseason schedule with a double‑header against Serie A side Como on Sunday, August 16. The first encounter will be played behind closed doors, while the second match will take place at Anfield, offering fans a chance to see the new‑look side in front of a home crowd.
A manager’s first test
New manager Andoni Iraola has overseen a mixed set of results during the warm‑up period, picking up victories over Sunderland and Wrexham but suffering defeats to Leeds United and Monaco. The upcoming fixtures against Como mark the final opportunity for the Spanish coach to fine‑tune tactics before the Premier League opener.
The lineup selected for the Anfield clash is expected to blend a handful of academy graduates with more established first‑team members, while the earlier closed‑door game will feature a more youthful XI. This arrangement reflects Iraola’s intent to assess depth ahead of the league campaign.
Broadcast details across regions
In the United Kingdom, the two matches can be streamed via LFCTV and the subscription service ALL RED Video, which charges £4.99 per month. Across the Atlantic, U.S. viewers will find the first fixture on Fox Sports and fuboTV, while the second game will be carried on Paramount+ and CBS Sports. In Mexico, Claro Sports will broadcast both contests, whereas no official stream is currently listed for Canada.
The stakes extend beyond mere preparation; a strong performance against Como could provide Iraola with the momentum needed for his debut Premier League match against Newcastle United, a fixture that will also pit Liverpool against Nottingham Forest, Ipswich Town and Fulham later in the season.
