Liverpool secured their spot in the 2025/26 UEFA Champions League after clinching the 2024/25 Premier League title.
Arne Slot's side also finished top of the inaugural league phase table of the UCL last season before losing out to PSG in the Round of 16.
The Reds have invested heavily over the summer including a Premier League transfer record deal for Florian Wirtz as Slot aims to launch a charge for Europe's biggest club prize.
The Reds are the most successful English side in Champions League history, with two title wins, and six overall including its predecessor the UEFA European Cup.
Their most recent triumph came in the 2019 final over Tottenham in Madrid as goals from Mohamed Salah and Divock Origi sealed a 2-0 victory.
Here is how their Champions League schedule looks for the league phase in 2024/25.
