Everything you need to know about Everton's stadium move

Everton have played the final game at Goodison Park and are now set to move into an iconic new arena on the banks of the river Mersey. After 133 years at their famous and storied ground, the Toffees will kick off the 2025/26 campaign at Everton Stadium which has been built at Bramley Moore Dock.

The 52,888-seater venue is state-of-the-art and Blues are hopeful the new revenue generated will see the club improve the squad and challenge at the top of the table again.

It's the start of a brand new era and hope and optimism is brewing in the blue half of Merseyside. This article will provide you with details on the move and how you can attend a fixture at Everton's new home.

Watching Games at Everton Stadium

Everton have bolstered their capacity by more than 12,000 seats and so there will be plenty of opportunities to watch the Toffees playing at home this upcoming campaign. If you are looking to see the Blues, you can check out availability of tickets for the entire season at hellotickets and start planning your matchday trip.

The stadium is expected to sell out each week with thousands of fans also on the waiting list but that doesn't mean you can't take your place inside the ground each week. Online, you will be able to find packages which include match tickets, flights and accommodation in Liverpool city centre which is ideal if you are an overseas supporter. This way, you will be able to attend the match with zero hassle and enjoy the action knowing you your entire vacation has been arranged. It's also possible to find single tickets uploaded my season ticket members who can't attend one-off matches due to other responsibilities like work, family commitments or booked holidays. 

It's a wise move to look at hellotickets months before the date of the fixture you wish to attend so that you can be prepared and aren't make any last-minute calls. Be sure to check back and conduct thorough research into your entire trip to make the most of your Everton experience.

Naming Rights Deal Confirmed

During the time the arena has been built, it has been referred to as Everton Stadium by the club and Bramley Moore by the majority of fans. Now though, ahead of the team moving in over the summer, Everton proudly announced Hill Dickinson as the official naming rights partner in a long-term agreement which will see the ground named Hill Dickinson Stadium.

The commercial law firm is a Merseyside institution founded in 1810 and specialised in maritime law a century ago. It now boasts eleven offices across the UK, Europe and Asia and has entered into one of the largest stadium naming right deals in Europe.

Everton new Chief Executive Officer Angus Kinnear said: “Welcoming Hill Dickinson as our naming rights partner is a bold and strategic step forward. This partnership goes beyond branding – it’s a shared commitment to progress, excellence and the regeneration of our city. Hill Dickinson Stadium will stand as a symbol of Everton’s ambitions, our values, and the global future we are building together."

Hill Dickinson CEO Craig Scott added: “To put our name to Everton’s new stadium is a once-in-a-generation opportunity. We believe deeply in what this project stands for – a bold, transformational vision for Liverpool and its future. This partnership is about legacy, ambition, and the power of two globally recognised organisations coming together to make a difference." 

Leaving Goodison

Everton paid an emotional farewell to Goodison Park as the Everton-wrap-Jake-OBrien-deal-Lyon.html">Toffees beat Southampton in the final-ever men's game to be played there, 133 years after the first. Iliman Ndiaye wrote his name into the club folklore with a brace and scored the last goal at Goodison.

A special violin rendition of anthem Z Cars was played on the pitch after the game while Bill Ryder-Jones, formerly of The Coral, performed a rendition of 'Forever Everton' and The Beatles hit 'In My Life'. The highlight for Evertonians was seeing legends and icons taking to the hallowed turf one more time. Derek Temple, Bob Latchford, Trevor Steven, Peter Reid, Neville Southall, Duncan Ferguson, Tim Cahill and Wayne Rooney were among the former players back at Goodison to reminisce and greet fans in the stands.

Now the men's team has left, Everton Women will move into the stadium in what's an historic switch, meaning future generations can watch games at Goodison and the famous old ground won't be demolished.

Toffees Early Hopes for New Ground

Everton endured annual relegation battles in the 2020s but this campaign's 13th-placed finish shows there is light at the end of the tunnel and offers hope and optimism for the future. With players like Jordan Pickford, Jarrad Branthwaite and Ndiaye in the team, the Toffees genuinely have some hugely talented players to choose from.

Manager David Moyes will now look to Everton-West-Ham-Man-Utd-defender.html">add new names to what is there so that Everton can push into the top ten and start challenging the European places. As one of the most successful clubs in English football with nine league titles, five FA Cups and a Cup Winners' Cup, Blues feel the top is where they belong.

Overall, the move from Goodison Park to the Hill Dickinson Stadium at Bramley Moore marks a new era in the long and storied history of Everton and fans are looking to a bright future.
