The parade will travel a nine-mile (15km) route, including Queens Drive and The Strand before finishing on Blundell Street.

Council leader Liam Robinson told the BBC: “We’re delighted to officially invite Liverpool Football Club to parade around the city on 26 May. A Liverpool victory parade is more than football – it’s a celebration of our city’s pride, passion and community spirit.”
Mo Salah said earlier this season: “It’s an incredible day. That’s why I’m really desperate to win the Premier League with the club now.
“It’s going to be unforgettable because I know how much it means to win the Premier League. I just want to win the Premier League with the city and the fans. To experience that day and go on the parade in the city, it’s going to be incredible.”
Is the victory parade free?
The parade is free for everyone to attend, and Reds are encouraged to line the streets along the route to take part in the celebration.
As always, fans are encouraged to plan ahead before travelling to the Liverpool Premier League victory parade as it is set to be a busy day.
Chief Insp Chris Barnes, from Merseyside Police, said: “We would ask motorists to be patient, or avoid the area of the parade route where possible.”
Where is the best place to watch the victory parade?
If you live near or can get to the parade route outside the city centre, this might be your best option because it’s going to get incredibly busy the closer you get to Liverpool city centre. Liverpool City Region transport bosses have asked anyone, where possible, to walk to the parade and, if not, plan your journey in advance. However, if you fancy a spot overlooking the parade from above there are a few rooftop bars are hosting Liverpool FC victory parade events.
How can I find out where the bus is?
The official social media channels of LFC (@LFCHELP), Culture Liverpool (@CultureLpool) and Liverpool City Council (@LpoolCouncil) will all have live updates to keep you in the loop.
How do I watch the parade from home?
If you are unable to attend the parade you can also watch it live across LFC’s official Twitter, Facebook and YouTube channels. You can also watch live coverage of the parade on LFCTV Sky channel 425 Virgin Media channel 544 or on LFCTV GO. Coverage will begin at 3.45pm.
