Experience the Magic of English Premier League Football from Malaysia

For millions of Malaysian football fans, watching the Premier League on television has been a ritual for decades. But nothing compares to the electrifying atmosphere of witnessing Liverpool, Manchester United, Arsenal, or Chelsea play live at their iconic stadiums. With Premier League tour packages from Malaysia, you can transform your dream of experiencing authentic English football culture into reality.

This comprehensive guide covers everything Malaysian football enthusiasts need to know about planning the perfect EPL stadium experience, from match selection and visa requirements to stadium guides and travel logistics.


Why Malaysian Football Fans Love the Premier League

The English Premier League holds a special place in Malaysian hearts. According to recent statistics, 9.4 million Malaysians are passionate EPL followers out of the country's 13.6 million football fans. This represents an extraordinary 56% of football supporters in Malaysia who specifically follow the Premier League.

The Numbers Tell the Story

The Premier League's total cumulative audience in Southeast Asia reached 386 million during the 2021/22 season, with standout fixtures like Manchester City vs Liverpool attracting 3.5 million viewers across the region. In Malaysia specifically, all 380 Premier League games are broadcast every season, with dedicated fans staying up through the night to watch matches despite the time difference.

This incredible commitment demonstrates why Malaysian football tourism to England continues to grow. The emotional connection runs deep—from singing "You'll Never Walk Alone" with Liverpool supporters to celebrating goals at Old Trafford alongside Manchester United fans.

Malaysian Investment in English Football

The connection isn't just emotional. Malaysian billionaires Tony Fernandes (former QPR owner) and Vincent Tan (Cardiff City owner) have invested heavily in English football clubs, further strengthening the bond between Malaysia and the Premier League.

For Malaysian fans ready to take the next step from watching on TV to experiencing live matches, Matchday Affairs specializes in Premier League tours designed specifically for Southeast Asian supporters.

Malaysian Football Culture Meets English Football Tradition

Understanding English Football Culture

Pub Culture:
English football and pubs are inseparable. Fans gather hours before matches to drink, sing, and discuss tactics. Don't be surprised if strangers strike up passionate football debates—it's part of the culture.

Terrace Chants:
Each club has unique songs and chants. Liverpool's "You'll Never Walk Alone," Manchester United's "Glory, Glory Man United," Arsenal's "One-Nil to the Arsenal"—learn the words before you go to join in.

Banter & Rivalry:
Football banter in England can seem harsh but is usually good-natured. Expect teasing between rival fans, but serious animosity is rare. Malaysians' friendly nature fits well with this culture.

Malaysian Fans in England

The Malaysian presence at Premier League matches is growing. You'll often find groups of Malaysian supporters, especially at Liverpool and Manchester United matches given these clubs' huge Malaysian followings.

Language: English proficiency among Malaysians makes communication easy. Most Malaysians find British accents easier to understand than American English.

Food Considerations:

  • Halal food is readily available in major UK cities, especially London and Manchester

  • Look for Malaysian/Indonesian restaurants in London (Bayswater, Leicester Square areas)

  • Most stadiums now offer vegetarian options

  • Pre-book halal restaurant reservations for post-match dining

Tips from Malaysian EPL Fans

Time Difference:
UK is 8 hours behind Malaysia. A 3:00 PM kickoff in England is 11:00 PM Malaysian time. Adjust your sleep schedule gradually before traveling.

Currency:
British Pound (GBP) is strong against the Ringgit. Budget accordingly and use credit cards where possible for better exchange rates than cash exchanges.

Weather Shock:
Malaysian tropical climate vs UK temperate weather is dramatic. Even "warm" UK weather (20°C) feels cool to Malaysians. Layer up!

Social Customs:

  • Queue patiently (British people take queuing seriously)

  • Say "please," "thank you," and "sorry" often

  • Tip 10-15% in restaurants (optional but appreciated)

  • Public transport is highly efficient—use it!


Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How far in advance should I book?

High-demand matches (Liverpool vs Man United, derbies, top-six clashes): 3-6 months in advance

Mid-tier fixtures: 1-3 months in advance

Standard fixtures: 1-2 months in advance

Remember: Fixture dates can change due to TV scheduling, usually 4-6 weeks before the match. Build flexibility into your travel plans.

Q: Can I buy tickets directly from clubs?

Yes, but it's challenging. Most Premier League clubs operate membership systems where season ticket holders and members get priority. Tickets for big matches sell out within minutes of going on sale to members.

Authorized tour packages like those from Matchday Affairs guarantee authentic tickets through official club partnerships, eliminating stress and uncertainty.

Q: What's the best way to experience multiple matches?

Book a weekend package covering Friday evening, Saturday afternoon, and Sunday matches. For example:

  • Friday: Chelsea vs Aston Villa (London)

  • Saturday: Train to Manchester, explore city

  • Sunday: Manchester United vs Liverpool

This allows you to experience multiple stadiums and cities in one trip.

Q: Is it safe for Malaysian tourists?

Yes, the UK is very safe for tourists. Standard precautions apply:

  • Keep valuables secure in crowded areas

  • Use licensed taxis or ride-sharing apps

  • Stay aware of surroundings late at night

  • Keep emergency numbers saved: UK Police (999 or 112)

Football stadiums have excellent security. Violence is extremely rare, especially inside venues.

Q: What about food for Muslims?

London: Excellent halal options throughout the city, especially near major mosques (East London, Edgware Road)

Manchester: Growing halal food scene, particularly in Rusholme ("Curry Mile") and city center

Liverpool: Several halal restaurants, especially in the city center and near universities

Stadium food: Most stadiums now offer vegetarian options. Bring snacks if concerned about halal availability at smaller stadiums.

Q: Can I visit during Ramadan?

Absolutely! Iftar time in UK during Ramadan varies (typically April):

  • Early Ramadan: Around 7:30-8:00 PM

  • Late Ramadan: Around 8:30-9:00 PM

Evening kickoffs (7:45 PM, 8:00 PM) allow you to break fast then attend the match. Many UK cities have Islamic centers offering iftar meals.

Q: What's the total budget needed?

Budget Range (per person, 5-day trip):

  • Flights: RM 2,500 - 4,500

  • Accommodation: RM 300-600 per night (RM 1,500-3,000 total)

  • Match ticket: RM 400-1,500 depending on match and seats

  • Food: RM 200-400 per day (RM 1,000-2,000 total)

  • Transportation: RM 500-1,000

  • Sightseeing: RM 500-1,000

  • Miscellaneous: RM 500

Total Estimate: RM 7,000-14,000 per person for a complete experience

Package tours often provide better value through bulk booking discounts and included services.

Q: Do I need travel insurance?

Highly recommended. UK healthcare is not free for tourists. Travel insurance should cover:

  • Medical emergencies and hospitalization

  • Trip cancellation/interruption

  • Lost luggage

  • Flight delays

  • Emergency evacuation

Budget RM 200-400 for comprehensive coverage.

Q: Can I bring my family?

Absolutely! Premier League matches are family-friendly. Many stadiums have family sections with reduced pricing for children under 16.

Family Considerations:

  • Book aisle seats for easier bathroom access

  • Bring snacks for children

  • Choose earlier kickoffs (12:30 PM, 3:00 PM) rather than evening matches

  • Lower-tier rivalry matches for less intense atmosphere

  • Stadium tours are excellent for children who love football

Q: What if the match is postponed or rescheduled?

Fixture changes happen, usually for TV scheduling. This is why booking through authorized tour operators like Matchday Affairs is valuable—they manage rescheduling complications and alternative arrangements.

If traveling independently:

  • Book refundable/flexible flights and hotels

  • Monitor fixture updates 4-6 weeks before travel

  • Have backup plans for alternative matches

It was an unforgettable YNWA experience in which I got the back2back tickets for e Napoli and Brighton matches thru Mirza's matchday affairs. Mirza was attentive to details & feedback, & thru his link with e local agency, had a pleasant surprise treat by him for the latter match. Highly recommended and will go thru him again to get the match day tickets the next time…

Never thought we would have been able to watch Liverpool at Anfield. It was a fantastic experience in a wonderful stadium – was chanting and singing the whole game and 90mins just passed so quickly. Exhilarating match against City!! Thanks Dela and Mirza for taking care of my family and I. It was an unforgettable trip for us from start till end. The stadium tour, the food, the mural hunting and shopping – awesome!! YNWA….

Watched the final match of the season at Anfield and a poignant farewell to the gaffer in the Liverpool vs Wolves match. Had a fabulous time and thanks to Mirza and Dela of Matchday Affairs who went the extra mile to ensure we – all 40 of us! – were all well taken care of all the way, patiently accommodating various requests and to provide us with a great experience. The mural hunt was fun, lunches provided were awesome and the company was great. Made new friends and created wonderful memories to last a lifetime. Thanks again Matchday Affairs 5 star rating 🌟

I read reviews of Matchday Affairs before I decided to engage its services for the Liverpool vs Man U match last Dec 2023, and I'm happy that I made the decision. It was a fantastic experience with a small tour group that keeps it intimate. Mirza is professional yet able to balance the whole experience as casual and friendly. Kak Dela was awesome in sharing advices and information to make our trip a memorable one. The itinerary was very relaxed yet fulfilling. Fully recommended and it won't be the last time that I follow Matchday Affairs to Anfield!!

Thanks to Matchday Affairs for helping us to secure the matchday tickets for Liverpool vs Arsenal at Anfield! The team, esp Dela, was very responsive throughout the whole process and also patient when answering our questions even though the questions may not be directly related to the match itself (e.g about the LFC pre-match walkabout). Getting into the stadium was fuss free and they secured good seats for us as well. Will definitely purchase from Matchday Affairs again, thank you!

It was my first trip to Liverpool. Mirza has been communicative and accommodating to my requests. The itinerary were all well thought out and we managed to catch 3 Liverpool matches! Made a lot of new friends and I really enjoyed myself there. I have taken tour packages in the past and so far, this was the best experience! For those who wants to visit Anfield, look no further. Matchday Affairs is the only one to go to. As one of the Kaka in the group said, " the only affair you are allowed to have, is Matchday Affairs. " YNWA!

This is indeed a real deal. I was skeptical about this tour/service. Many questionable stuff came out during the process of booking and waiting. However it were all answered when we in the stadium. It is a legitimate tour by one man show. Very accommodating on our request and flexible on the itinerary provided. We did museum tour at Old Trafford and Anfield, went on visit the Etihad stadium as well. It will be great if given more options on hotels and seats in the stadium. Thank you for organising the trip to Old Trafford. Indeed a memorable one.

Went for the final game of Liverpool (vs Wolves on 19 May 2024. Was really glad that I was able to get the anticipated final matchday (Klopp's final game) tickets and that was mainly what got me to commit to Matchday Affairs in the first place. Mirza and Dela work tirelessly to give us the fan experience; going to the AXA training ground, wait by the Titanic hotel, mural hunting and more. It's been a great trip because of all new friends you make along the way who will 'never let you walk alone' 😆 I'm glad that my fan experience was fulfilled by Matchday Affairs and I had the extended package with 2 days in London – I thoroughly enjoyed it and learnt a lot; it being my first time in London. Thank you Mirza & Dela!

Klopp's Final Game

Everyone can watch a live football match of your beloved club. But to watch it together with like-minded club supporters in Liverpool coming all the way from Singapore is truly a religious affair… Dela and Mirza are no ordinary tour organizers, they are part of this football religion. They actually made customized hoodies for us and our hero! What can we say…

Great trip! Great tours! Great food! Great people! Matchday Affair has won my heart from day one. Mirza and Dela were very personable and took care of all our needs….. from check-ins to watching the games and even helping us look for toilets…. they're always there for us. I love it personally as they keep close to our great club's YNWA. Even though our group of 28 of us, they seemed to always manage to gather us around and kept us closely knitted. If it's your maiden trip, I highly recommend Matchday Affair…. your travel partner to Liverpool!!

From the lively atmosphere to the camaraderie amongst fans, it was a testament to the enduring appeal of the beautiful game. I can't wait to return for another adventure in this football-crazed city.
