Premier League champions Liverpool will parade through the city on an open-top bus, it has been announced.

The Reds won 5-1 against Tottenham at Anfield on Sunday to secure their second Premier League title, a record-equalling 20th top-flight trophy.

The bus will set off from Allerton Maze at 14:30 BST on Monday 26 May before travelling along a nine-mile (15km) route including Queens Drive before finishing on Blundell Street.

Hundreds of thousands of fans are expected to line the route to celebrate with Arne Slot and his title-winning squad.

The parade, which will also take in The Strand, is expected to last between three and five hours.

Liverpool City Council Leader Liam Robinson said: “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.”
