Liverpool vs Sunderland Competition – Pre-season Friendly Stadium: GEODIS Park Date: 25th July 2026 Kick-off time – 23:00 GMT
Saturday night in Nashville sees Liverpool and Sunderland meet in a pre-season friendly at GEODIS Park as part of Liverpool’s North American summer tour. Both clubs ended the 2025/26 Premier League season in contrasting form, and while the result here matters far less than fitness and preparation, the contest between two sides with genuine Premier League ambitions for the coming campaign should be well worth watching.
Liverpool’s end-of-season form gave their supporters some concern heading into the summer. Their most recent competitive outing was a 1-1 home draw with Brentford — a result that summed up a final stretch of the season that saw them unable to string wins together at the crucial moment. Prior to that, a 4-2 defeat away to Aston Villa was one of their most chastening performances of the campaign. Before that, a 1-1 home draw with Chelsea. Earlier in this run, a 3-2 defeat away to Manchester United and a 3-1 home win over Crystal Palace complete a five-match period that yielded just one victory. Liverpool have the quality throughout their squad to be considerably better than that end-of-season run suggests, and pre-season will be about rebuilding momentum, getting combinations clicking, and arriving at the start of the Premier League campaign in sharper form. A run-out against Sunderland in Nashville gives the squad time on the pitch and the opportunity to work through tactical ideas under no competitive pressure.
Sunderland arrive as one of the most in-form sides heading into the new season. Their most recent outing was a 5-1 win away to York City in a pre-season friendly — a dominant, free-scoring result that set the tone for a summer of building confidence. Prior to that, a 2-1 home win over Chelsea at the end of the Premier League season and before that a 3-1 win away to Everton showed that Sunderland finished the campaign extremely strongly. Earlier in this run, a goalless draw at home to Manchester United and a 1-1 draw away to Wolves rounded out an excellent late-season sequence. Three wins from their last five gives Sunderland real momentum, and they will be determined to show their quality against a Liverpool side that struggled in the final weeks of the campaign.
The head-to-head record across the last five known meetings between these sides favours Liverpool, who have won two with three draws and no wins for Sunderland. Most recently, Liverpool won 1-0 away at Sunderland in a Premier League fixture in February 2026. In the previous encounter, the sides drew 1-1 at home for Liverpool in December 2025.
