What channel is Liverpool v Bournemouth Premier League match on? TV coverage, live stream and kick-off time
Check out how to watch Liverpool v Bournemouth in the Premier League, including TV channel, radio coverage and kick-off time.
Liverpool's Premier League title defence begins at Anfield, where they host Bournemouth in the 2025/26 curtain-raiser on Friday evening.
The Reds stormed to a 20th top-flight triumph in Arne Slot's debut season and have backed the Dutchman significantly in the summer transfer window – with new arrivals Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitiké, Milos Kerkez and Jeremie Frimpong set for their debuts on Merseyside.
Their Community Shield defeat on penalties has not taken any shine off their favourites tag for the new campaign but, even so, the Dutch coach will be keen for his side to lay a marker at the earliest opportunity.
Bournemouth were hugely impressive under Andoni Iraola last season but their mid-table finish came at a price as they've been raided during the summer transfer window – losing three of their key defenders.
The Cherries' new-look defence will face a baptism of fire in a trip to Anfield, which is the hardest place to go in the Premier League.
