Liverpool Training Centre is the training ground and academy for Liverpool. Known for sponsorship reasons as AXA Training Centre, it has been the home of Liverpool's reserve and youth teams for several years. The facility was formerly known as The Academy or often referred to as its geographical location of Kirkby. Beginning in 2017, it was expanded and renovated to provide space for the senior team to move there from Melwood. Construction was completed in October 2020. The first-team moved into the facility in November 2020.
