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

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.

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?

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
