In their statement, “Liverpool announced that Instrgam was the most-engaged channel. They said: More than 61 per cent of the 1.5 billion engagements were on Instagram with content that included emotional moments such as Liverpool fan Dáire Gorman visiting the AXA Training Centre and funny team meetings about World Earth Day.”
Liverpool watched on TV more than any other European club
The Reds were also the most-watched club in European domestic league and cup fixtures last season. From August 2023 to March 2024, 415 million people tuned in to watch Liverpool on TV. In response to the club’s record-breaking numbers, Drew Crisp, senior vice-president of digital at Liverpool FC, said: “Another incredible digital milestone to hit this season, cementing our position as digital leaders and innovators.
“Social media is non-stop, and to achieve that level of engagement across our follower base shows the quality of our content and impact of our reach throughout the season.
“Our strategy focus has been to push engagement across each platform and follower growth in a highly competitive space. It takes a huge team effort to continue to create original, engaging content that resonates with our global fanbase and suits each individual channel. This season we’ve also had two new channels introduced with Threads and WhatsApp channels.
“It’s no easy feat to reach this level of engagement and I’m very proud of the tireless work from our digital team this season.”
