The 1982–83 season was Liverpool Football Club's 91st season in existence and their 21st consecutive season in the First Division. After winning the title previous season, Liverpool F.C. regained and won their fourteenth league title. They also won the Football League Cup for the third successive season beating Manchester United 2-1 at Wembley Stadium.

However, Liverpool did not regain the European Cup, having been knocked out by Widzew Łódź in the quarter-finals and surprisingly being knocked out by Brighton & Hove Albion in the fifth round of the FA Cup. Liverpool lost 5 of their last 7 league games and drew the other two, yet they finished the season eleven points ahead of the second-placed Watford.

After nine years, Bob Paisley had decided to retire after winning six league championships, three European Cups, three League Cups, four FA Charity Shields, one European Super Cup and one UEFA Cup.
