Liverpool adjusts timing for final pre-season friendlies ahead of EPL opener

Liverpool will conclude their 2026 pre-season with two friendlies against Como, the first set for August 13 at 11:30 AM behind closed doors at La AXA training center. The match is expected to feature second-string squads, while the second game later at 6 PM will include key first-team players at Anfield. This adjustment follows the club's new head coach Andoni Iraola's approach to squad evaluation before the Premier League season begins. The earlier match will be broadcast on LFCTV, allowing a select audience to observe the players before their campaign opener against Newcastle next weekend.
