Liverpool FC has confirmed streaming arrangements for their first pre-season friendly ahead of the 2025-26 campaign, with the match against Preston North End set to go ahead as scheduled.
The Premier League champions have been weighing their options following the tragic death of Diogo Jota, but after careful consultation with players and staff who returned to training on Tuesday, the club has moved forward with their plans to play the fixture.
The game will be available through several channels, ensuring fans worldwide can watch Liverpool’s return to action
All Red Video, the club’s official streaming platform, will provide live coverage beginning at 2:15 PM BST, with kick-off scheduled for 3:00 PM at Deepdale.
All Red Full and All Red Video members will have access to the live stream, with new subscribers eligible for their first month free and the flexibility to cancel at any time.
The streaming service, which costs £4.99 per month, represents Liverpool’s enhanced digital offering to global supporters.
Luckily ITV1 has secured rights to broadcast the friendly live on free-to-air television across the UK.
The broadcaster secured these rights prior to Jota’s passing, though the decision to proceed with coverage has taken on added significance given the circumstances.
The match will be available on ITV1, STV, ITVX, and STV Player, ensuring comprehensive coverage across British television networks.
This represents unusual exposure for a pre-season friendly, which typically would be limited to club channels.
For subscribers to traditional television services, the match will also be available on LFCTV through Sky and Virgin Media platforms.
Sky customers can access LFCTV for £7 per month, while Virgin Media offers the same service at the same price point.
The confirmation comes after Liverpool’s players and staff returned to the AXA Training Centre on Tuesday, four days later than originally planned.
The delayed start to pre-season allowed the squad time to grieve and attend Jota’s funeral in Portugal over the weekend.
The decision to proceed with the friendly followed what has been described as “constant dialogue” between Liverpool and Preston North End, with the Championship club showing full respect to Liverpool’s wishes throughout the process.
