Liverpool are hoping to secure a cup treble on Saturday, when they take on Real Madrid in the Champions League final in Paris.
Jürgen Klopp’s men have already won the FA Cup and Carabao Cup, both courtesy of penalty shoot-out victories over Chelsea.
They just missed out on the Premier League – and the chance at a historic quadruple – thanks to Manchester City’s comeback victory over Aston Villa last weekend.
But they will celebrate their season’s achievements with a parade on Sunday, even if they lose in Paris the night before.
Here’s everything you need to know about the parade.
When is the Liverpool parade?
Liverpool’s parade will be on Sunday 29 May, starting at 4pm.
It is expected to last for several hours, but there is no specified finishing time at present.
The Liverpool men’s team will be on one bus, with the women’s side on another.
What is the parade route?
The parade will travel 8.4 miles (13.5km) through Liverpool, starting at Allerton Maze in the south of the city.
It is following the same route as Liverpool’s 2019 Champions League winners’ parade.
This means it will travel north on Queens Drive towards the Fiveways roundabout in Childwall, and then onto the Rocket flyover.
From there it will head down:
- Queens Drive
- Mill Bank
- West Derby Road
- Islington
- Leeds Street
- The Strand
The parade route ends at Blundell Street.
The Strand will be closed northbound from the Leeds Street/Old Hall Street junction to Blundell Street from 7am, until it is safe to reopen. The southbound lane will be closed from around 1pm.
There will also be closures on Allerton Maze, Queen’s Drive, Millbank, West Derby Road (outward bound), Erskine Street, Islington, Hunter Street and Leeds Street which will be put in place as the parade approaches.
How can I see the parade?
You will be able to view the parade from the pavements along the route.
It is advised to get there early to get the best vantage points.
A statement from Liverpool City Council said: “As a consequence of the event and in the interests of public safety, there will be a number of roads closed to allow the route to proceed. The route itself and roads directly off the main route will be closed for the minimum length of time to allow safe passage of the bus and spectators.
“These rolling closures have been designed to allow the minimum length of road closures that is possible. General pedestrian access will be maintained at all times. Traffic orders are in place to support these measures. We strongly advise anyone wishing to view the parade to do so close to your home and walk rather than drive as there are a number of road closures throughout the day and we expect extremely large crowd numbers.
“All closures will be signed and staffed. Where at all possible access will be maintained for residents/businesses. Please remember, the Rocket will not be a pedestrianised route – you will not be able to follow the bus as it goes over the flyover.”

The Champions League final kicks off at 8pm on Saturday 28 May.
