Anfield's next European night now has a ticket timeline. Liverpool have moved their Champions League league-phase meeting with Villarreal into its members' sale, giving supporters a clear picture of who can buy, and when, for the game on Tuesday, October 20.
The match is Liverpool's home fixture on Matchday 3 of the 2026/27 league phase, kicking off at 8pm UK time. Villarreal arrive as one of five Spanish clubs in this season's competition, and a floodlit Anfield crowd for a Spanish opponent rarely needs much selling. With only four home games guaranteed in the league phase, each one carries real weight for the final table.
Liverpool are selling the game in stages. The guaranteed sale for priority right holders closed on Thursday, October 1. Season ticket holders and All Red members who need wheelchair bays were able to buy from Friday, October 2 at 3pm, and the main sale for season ticket holders and All Red members opened on Monday, October 5 at 3pm. That sale is not guaranteed: tickets go on a first-come basis, with a limit of four per booking.
There is also a route for fans who live locally. Liverpool ran a registration window on October 2 and 3 for supporters with an L postcode, with the ballot for that local general sale starting on October 5. Successful applicants can buy up to four tickets in one transaction.
Everything is sold through the club's official online ticketing system, and the club had not published a price list on the match page at the time of writing. If you are not a member, or the sale has passed you by, you can compare availability for Liverpool vs Villarreal at Anfield on Infotickets.
Three things are worth knowing before you try. First, log in a few minutes before 3pm rather than on the hour, because the queue forms early for European games. Second, decide in advance whether you would accept single seats: pairs and groups of four disappear first, and being flexible is often the difference between a ticket and nothing. Third, if you are travelling, check the club's returns and resale information in the days before the match, as seats handed back by season ticket holders tend to reappear close to kick-off.
Anfield under the lights has a habit of producing the games people talk about for years. The door is open for members right now, and it will not stay open for long.
