Liverpool wrapped up their pre-season preparations against Italian side Como 1907 on Sunday, August 16, 2026, with a unique double-header designed to give both squads maximum game time before the new domestic campaigns began.
The first meeting was played behind closed doors at the AXA Training Centre, while the second was scheduled at Anfield in front of a full crowd. Rather than one conventional friendly, the two matches were separated by six hours, allowing both managers to rotate heavily and assess different combinations.
The evening fixture at Anfield was scheduled to kick off at 6:00 PM BST, giving supporters a final chance to watch Liverpool before competitive football returned.
Liverpool vs Como Double-Header Schedule
The opening match took place at the AXA Training Centre at 11:30 AM BST behind closed doors. The setup allowed Liverpool and Como to give minutes to players who may have needed additional fitness work without the pressures of a full stadium environment.
The second fixture was then scheduled for 6:00 PM BST at Anfield. With a full crowd expected, the evening game provided a more traditional matchday atmosphere and offered another opportunity for players to impress before the start of the season.
Liverpool used the double-header to maximize squad involvement, while Como also benefited from having two separate matches to test their preparations against Premier League opposition.
