Another season of free fan travel to LFC’s WSL fixtures thanks to Expedia
Expedia introduced this initiative ahead of the 2022-23 season to support fan travel to away games and boost attendances. It’s a project that also aligns with and plays an important part in LFC’s leading sustainability programme The Red Way by lowering the emissions of fan travel. It began with Expedia funding one coach to take LFC Women supporters to 10 away WSL fixtures that season. The bus racked up 3,225 miles of travel, which avoided an estimated 240 car journeys.

Fast forward to last season, the partnership went even further, increasing to two LFC-and-Expedia-branded supporter coaches providing free travel from the Wirral and Liverpool city centre to every WSL fixture at St Helens Stadium, Anfield and all away grounds.
It’s estimated this avoided 1,296 car journeys, saving around 220 tCO2e of emissions over the season – 10 times the saving compared to year one of the project.
It will continue in 2025-26 for supporters with a match ticket to get to and from all home and away fixtures across the WSL season – again with pick-up points in the Wirral and Liverpool city centre.
This season’s WSL fixtures were released earlier on Friday, and the Reds will start the campaign on September 7 at Anfield with a Merseyside derby against Everton. The full fixture list can be found here .
It has proved to be a popular and positive initiative with both Liverpool supporters and players – watch what former captain Niamh Fahey and current players Lucy Parry and Sophie Roman Haug had to say about it in the video below.
