Liverpool vs Qarabag FK kick-off time

Champions League - Champions League

Anfield

Liverpool and Qarabag FK will kick off on 28 Jan 2026 at 15:00 EST and 20:00 GMT.

Match preview

Liverpool are licking their wounds at the moment after their unconvincing 13-match unbeaten run across all competitions was ended by Bournemouth in their most recent game. A win over Qarabag guarantees a top-eight finish for the Premier League champions, but a draw is likely enough for direct qualification in most scenarios, but not fully guaranteed. A defeat would put Liverpool's top-eight at risk as they could drop into the playoffs if other results don't go their way.

Qarabag, on the other hand, also saw their five-match unbeaten run consisting of five successive wins come to an end in their most recent game, which was against Kapaz. The Azerbaijan giants need a victory in order to advance to the knockout phase, while a draw could be enough to secure qualification if other results go their way and a defeat would put them at risk of being eliminated. 

Injury news & key stats

Liverpool will be without several key players due to injuries, namely Conor Bradley, Giovanni Leoni, Jeremie Frimpong, Stefan Bajcetic, Alexander Isak, as well as Joe Gomez. Furthermore, Ibrahima Konate remains unavailable following family bereavement. However, the good news for the Reds is that they don't have suspension worries.

Meanwhile, Qarabag have a full strength squad ahead of the crucial match as there are no suspension worries and they are yet to report injuries in their camp.

This will be the first-ever meeting between Liverpool and Qarabag.

>How to watch on the Big Screen

Watching on your phone or laptop is fine, but live sports belongs on the big screen. Here is how to get the VPN working on your TV:

• Smart TVs & Fire Stick: Most Android-based TVs and devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick or Google Chromecast with Google TV have native VPN apps. Simply search for your VPN provider in the app store on your TV, log in, and connect just like you would on your phone.
• Apple TV, Roku & Consoles: These devices often don't support direct VPN apps. The easiest workaround is to use Smart DNS (usually found in your VPN account settings) or Mirror/Cast the stream from your VPN-connected phone or laptop to your TV.
