Liverpool hosts Atletico Madrid at Anfield on Wednesday, September 9, 2026, in Matchday 1 of the 2026/27 UEFA Champions League league phase. The heavyweight clash marks the opening of the European campaign for both clubs.
Following a 3-0 La Liga defeat to Athletic Bilbao, Atletico arrives seeking to reset, while the Reds enter after beating Ipswich Town 2-0. Both teams begin their continental schedules with contrasting domestic momentum.
Manager Andoni Iraola deploys a 4-2-3-1 formation featuring goalkeeper Alisson Becker and debutant Bradley Barcola in attack. Atletico counters with a 4-4-2 setup, with Jan Oblak in goal and Cristian Romero in central defense.
Fans can watch the match live on the Sony Sports Network and HBO Max, with kick-off scheduled for 8pm BST on Wednesday night. Coverage begins shortly before the action starts.
This fixture renews a rivalry that produced a dramatic 3-2 Liverpool victory last season. Atletico will look to improve its record against English opposition, having lost six of their previous 10 matches against Premier League clubs.
