AnfieldSeating Guide: Where to Sit & Best Seats
Anfield, the home of Liverpool FC, holds approximately 61,276 spectators across four stands: the single-tiered Spion Kop (behind one goal), the two-tiered Anfield Road End (away end, behind the opposite goal), and the two long sides, the three-tiered Main Stand and the two-tiered Sir Kenny Dalglish Stand. The most prestigious and best-sightline seats run along the halfway line in the Main Stand and Sir Kenny Dalglish Stand, while the legendary Kop offers the loudest atmosphere. Best value typically comes from the upper Anfield Road End and the back of the Kop's upper section, though these sit furthest from the action. For concerts the pitch becomes the floor with the stage usually at one end, and the Anfield Road End is generally closed off behind the stage.
Configurations
Premier League / domestic football (Liverpool FC)
Full bowl in use at around 61,276 seated capacity. Home support spread across the Kop, Main Stand and Sir Kenny Dalglish Stand; away fans housed in the lower Anfield Road End behind the goal. The Kop drives the atmosphere.
European football (UEFA Champions League / Europa League)
Similar full-bowl configuration to domestic matches, with a larger away allocation in the lower Anfield Road End as required by UEFA rules. Famous European nights are considered among the best for atmosphere on the Kop.
Concerts (stadium shows)
Pitch converts to a standing/seated floor with the stage typically at one end of the ground. A seated and standing floor (general admission) is added on the pitch and stand seating is used; sightlines and any obstructed/side-on views depend on the stage and production setup. Sections directly behind the stage are normally not sold.
Seating levels explained
The Kop (single tier)
Blocks 103-109 (lower), 202-208, 304-306The famous single-tiered stand behind one goal, historically one of the largest single-tier stands in British football, holding around 12,000 supporters. It is the heart of Anfield's home support and the focal point for flags, banners and singing.
Pros: Iconic, loudest atmosphere; behind-goal view of attacking play; strong sense of occasion
Cons: End-on rather than side-on view; high upper blocks are a long way from the far goal; some upper-rear blocks have roof intrusion
Main Stand (three tiers)
Lower L1-L16, Middle M1-M9, Upper U1-U9The largest stand, redeveloped in 2016 to three tiers holding roughly 20,000. It runs the full length of one touchline and houses the Directors' Box and most matchday hospitality.
Pros: Side-on halfway-line views; premium and hospitality options; covered
Cons: Most expensive areas; upper tier is high and steep; slight roof intrusion possible at the extreme ends (U1/U9)
Sir Kenny Dalglish Stand (two tiers)
Lower KG-KP, Upper CE1-CE9, plus executive boxesThe opposite touchline stand (formerly the Centenary Stand), holding around 11,000-12,000 with a large bank of executive boxes between the tiers. Offers an excellent side-on vantage point.
Pros: Strong central side-on views; hospitality and executive boxes; faces the Main Stand and Kop
Cons: Corner and end blocks are further from play; roof can intrude on the highest rows of some upper blocks (e.g. CE1, CE9)
Anfield Road End (two tiers)
Lower AL1-AL9, Upper AU1-AU8 (and middle AM tier)The stand behind the goal opposite the Kop, expanded in 2023-24 with a new upper tier that pushed the ground's capacity above 60,000. Houses the away supporters in the lower tier.
Pros: Behind-goal view; newest seating; upper rear rows can be good value
Cons: Away section here; furthest blocks have a weak view of the opposite end; highest upper rows are far from the pitch
Best seats at Anfield
| For | Sections | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Best overall view | Main Stand lower/middle central blocks around the halfway line (e.g. L7-L10, M4-M6) | Side-on, elevated central position gives the most balanced view of the whole pitch and tactical play, close to the Directors' Box level. |
| Best value | Anfield Road End upper tier (AU blocks) and rear of the Kop upper (304-306) | Among the more affordable general-admission areas; you still get a behind-goal viewpoint and a sense of the bowl, trading proximity for price. |
| Best atmosphere | The Kop lower, central blocks (around 105-107) | The traditional singing end where flags, banners and 'You'll Never Walk Alone' are loudest; the most atmospheric place to watch Liverpool, especially on European nights. |
| Best for watching Liverpool attack | The Kop, central blocks (105-107) | Liverpool traditionally shoot towards the Kop in the second half, so this end often gives the best view of home attacking play and goals. |
| Best side-on alternative to the Main Stand | Sir Kenny Dalglish Stand lower central (around KK-KM) | Excellent central touchline sightline opposite the Main Stand, typically a little cheaper than equivalent Main Stand seats. |
| Best for concerts | Lower side-stand seats near the front facing the stage, or front floor/general-admission for standing shows | Closest, most front-on views of the stage; lower long-side blocks give a clear elevated angle without being behind the stage. |
Seats to avoid & obstructed views
- Anfield Road End upper, blocks furthest from centre (highest AU rows): Behind-goal and high up, giving a long, weak view of the far (Kop) end; furthest from the pitch.
- Kop upper rear blocks (e.g. 202, 208, 304-306): Reported roof intrusion on the highest rows and a long distance from the opposite goal.
- Sir Kenny Dalglish Stand upper corners (e.g. CE1, CE9): Roof overhang can clip the view from the highest rows, and the corner angle is less central.
- Main Stand upper ends (U1, U9): Steep, high and at the extreme ends; slight roof intrusion possible and an oblique angle to the far end of the pitch.
- Any seats directly behind the stage for concerts (typically Anfield Road End): These are normally not sold; if any restricted/side stage-view seats are released, the stage is largely or fully obstructed.

Frequently asked questions
What are the best seats at Anfield?
For the best all-round view, choose central lower or middle Main Stand seats around the halfway line. For the best atmosphere, the Kop (behind the goal) is unmatched, while the Sir Kenny Dalglish Stand offers an excellent side-on alternative opposite the Main Stand.
What are the cheapest seats at Anfield?
The best-value general-admission areas are usually the upper Anfield Road End (AU blocks) and the rear of the Kop's upper section. These trade proximity and viewing angle for a lower price.
Where do away fans sit at Anfield?
Away supporters are housed in the lower tier of the Anfield Road End, behind the goal opposite the Kop (blocks in the AL range). The allocation is larger for UEFA European fixtures than for most domestic games.
Where is the best atmosphere at Anfield?
The Spion Kop, the single-tiered stand behind one goal, is the heart of Liverpool's support and the loudest part of the ground, especially during European nights and the singing of 'You'll Never Walk Alone'.
Is Anfield accessible for wheelchair users?
Yes. Anfield has around 263 wheelchair spaces across the Lower Anfield Road, all tiers of the Main Stand and the Kop, with up to two complimentary companion tickets, Changing Places toilets and seat-service options. Accessible tickets are booked through the club's disability ticketing team.
What is Anfield's capacity?
Anfield holds approximately 61,276, making it one of the largest football stadiums in England following the Anfield Road Stand expansion completed in 2023-24.
How is Anfield set up for concerts?
For concerts the pitch is converted to a standing and/or seated floor with the stage usually at one end. Stand seating is used around the bowl, and sections directly behind the stage (generally the Anfield Road End) are normally closed, so some side stands may have angled views depending on the production.
Which way do Liverpool attack at Anfield?
Liverpool traditionally shoot towards the Kop in the second half, so seats in the Kop often give the best view of home attacking play and goals after the break.
