Liverpool and AC Milan Face Off in Thrilling Pre-Season Clash in Hong Kong
So, if you’re not already tuned in, there’s a pretty exciting pre-season fixture happening right now — Liverpool are taking on AC Milan live from Hong Kong at the Kai Tak Stadium. This game is part of both clubs’ summer tour as they gear up for the upcoming 2025–26 season, and it’s streaming live on All Red Video and LFCTV, with kick-off at 12:30pm BST (that’s 7:30pm local time in Hong Kong).

It’s been quite the buildup to this game. Liverpool, fresh off a solid 3-1 win over Preston North End, have traveled to the Far East with plenty of fresh faces in the squad. Conor Bradley, Darwin Nunez, and Cody Gakpo were all on target in that last game. And today, a few big names made the starting XI again — including Mohamed Salah, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Ryan Gravenberch. Interestingly, fans were watching closely for record signing Florian Wirtz, who was expected to make his debut after being signed for over $150 million. Hugo Ekitike, another new addition at $106 million, was also seen training with the squad earlier this week.
The match against AC Milan is shaping up to be a proper test. Milan themselves have been in pre-season action, most recently losing 1-0 to Arsenal, though they did come out on top in a penalty shootout afterward. Christian Pulisic, who had a standout performance in that game, started again tonight. And early on, he made his presence felt — providing the assist for Rafael Leao, who put Milan 1-0 up with a lovely counterattack finish. But Liverpool struck back just minutes later, with Szoboszlai unleashing a stunning strike to level the score at 1-1.
From there, the energy didn’t dip. Both sides showed flashes of mid-season sharpness, even if it’s just a friendly. The crowd at Kai Tak Stadium, packed with both local fans and traveling supporters, has been soaking up every moment.
Looking ahead, Liverpool still have two more friendlies before the real action starts. They’ll be in Japan next to face Yokohama F. Marinos, and then back to Anfield to host Athletic Bilbao. And of course, the curtain-raiser for the new season — the Community Shield — is coming up on August 10, where they’ll take on FA Cup winners Crystal Palace at Wembley.
So, whether you're a die-hard Red or just a fan of the game, this clash between two European giants is more than just a warm-up — it’s a glimpse of what’s to come.
