Bournemouth vs Liverpool kick-off time

Premier League - Premier League

Vitality Stadium

Bournemouth vs Liverpool will kick off on 24 Jan 2026 at 12:30 EST and 17:30 GMT. 

Match preview

Bournemouth will look at their last four matches with a touch of regret. The Cherries have led at some stage in all four contests so far in 2026, but only managed one win, a 3-2 success against Tottenham. A defeat to leaders Arsenal was understandable, an FA Cup exit against Newcastle on penalties followed and then the pain of an injury-time concession in their last match against Brighton. Ander Iraola's side can always be relied on for entertainment, with their 22 matches in the league producing a total of 76 goals, more than any other side.

Relative to the rest of their campaign, Liverpool are on a pretty impressive streak of 13 unbeaten games across all competitions, although six of those have been draws, including each of their last four in the Premier League. Most recently, they squandered a lead against 19th-placed Burnley at Anfield in a 1-1 stalemate.

Injury news & key stats

Bournemouth will be without Tyler Adams, Matai Akinboni, Ben Doak, Julio Soler, Marcus Tavernier and Eres Unal. 

Federico Chiesa is a doubt for the visitors after picking up an unspecified issue in midweek, while Ibrahima Konate will miss out for personal reasons. Alexander Isak, Conor Bradley, Stefan Bajcetic and Giovanni Leoni (knee) remain on the sidelines.

Each of Bournemouth’s last eight matches featured goals at both ends.

Liverpool have beaten Bournemouth in 13 of the last 14 H2Hs, including each of the last six. The most recent meeting was a 4-2 success for the Reds on the opening day of this season.

>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.
