At Liverpool Noise, our Sports section is dedicated to capturing the energy of Liverpool’s sports scene — from major Premier League headlines to local sporting heroes, community clubs, and alternative events you might not find elsewhere.

Whether you're a red, a blue, or just love the buzz of matchday, you'll find commentary, features, and updates that reflect the city's deep sporting roots and its ever-growing love for movement, fitness and friendly competition.

Liverpool FC: The Red Half of the City

Few clubs in world football have a history as iconic as Liverpool FC. From Anfield’s roar on a European night to the legacy of Shankly, Dalglish, Gerrard, and Klopp, Liverpool’s story is legendary — and still being written.

Our Liverpool FC coverage includes:

  • Weekly opinion pieces and match reaction blogs

  • Player features and tactical breakdowns

  • Highlights from Champions League nights, title races and derby days

  • Anfield atmosphere, fan culture, and historic moments revisited

Whether it’s the buzz of a new signing or the heartbreak of a last-minute goal, we cover Liverpool FC with passion and insight — from a fan’s perspective.

Everton FC: The People’s Club

On the other side of Stanley Park sits Everton FC — a club with incredible heritage, unwavering support, and a proud identity of its own.

We spotlight the highs and lows of the Blue half of Merseyside, with content that goes beyond the results:

  • Everton match previews and reactions

  • Updates on the new Bramley-Moore Dock stadium development

  • Club culture, history and interviews

  • Features on Everton Women and the club’s community impact

As Everton embarks on a new chapter, we’re here to document the journey and share stories that matter to the fans.

Matchday in the City: Liverpool vs Everton

Few cities experience football like Liverpool. On derby day, the city pulses with adrenaline — pubs packed, scarves out, and neighbours divided for 90 minutes.

We regularly explore:

  • The unique Merseyside Derby atmosphere

  • Fan stories from both sides

  • Historic matches and iconic goals

  • What it means to grow up Red or Blue in Liverpool

We aim to showcase the emotional heartbeat of Liverpool’s football culture — where the game is more than just sport.

While football is king, Liverpool also has a diverse sporting scene that deserves recognition. From boxing and basketball to grassroots running clubs and roller derby, there’s a world of athletic talent and energy across the city.

We occasionally feature:

  • Liverpool-based athletes making waves nationally or globally

  • Boxing nights, wrestling shows and alternative sports coverage

  • Community sport projects and inclusive fitness initiatives

Whether it's a profile on a local taekwondo champion or a preview of a 10K run through Sefton Park, we love celebrating sporting stories that bring people together.

Sports Culture & Community

Sport in Liverpool isn’t just about watching — it’s about participating, building community and fostering identity.

We highlight:

  • Supporter groups and fan culture

  • Sport and mental health awareness
