Liverpool fans, mark your calendars—but maybe check your local sports store first. The Reds' new adidas home kit for the 2026/27 season appears to have made an early, unauthorized debut, with one eagle-eyed supporter in Norway already getting their hands on the shirt before the official launch date.

The club has confirmed that the full kit unveiling is set for Tuesday, May 19, at 9 a.m. BST. However, a fan shopping at an XXL sports store in Greenland stumbled upon the new strip, which was reportedly on sale ahead of schedule. Norwegian outlet TV 2 Sport captured the moment, with a reporter stating, "This is the outfit that Liverpool will play with next season," and noting that the shirt wasn't supposed to hit shelves until May 19 at 10 a.m. Norwegian time.

XXL quickly apologized for the blunder, explaining that an internal error occurred after the launch status was changed. It's a familiar story in the world of modern kit releases, where leaks and early sightings have become almost as anticipated as the official drops themselves. This isn't the first time Liverpool's new gear has appeared early—footage had already surfaced showing a similar design, complete with adidas branding and a darker red hue, on sale at another retailer.

For fans eager to get their hands on the kit, the wait is nearly over. The club has confirmed that the home strip, along with a green goalkeeper kit, will be available to order immediately upon its official unveiling on May 19. Until then, keep your eyes peeled—you never know where the next early sighting might pop up. Whether you're planning to wear it at Anfield or just around town, this is one release that's already creating a buzz in the football world.
