When will the new Everton stadium open?
Everton Stadium is scheduled to open at the start of the 2025/26 Premier League season.
This means 2024/25 is the final season for Everton at Goodison Park.
It is expected that the stadium will host three test events in early 2025 to gain the necessary safety accreditations to host football matches. Everton's U-18 side will play a match in mid-February, with the U-21 side to play in April or May.
Once open, the venue will be the permanent home of the Everton first team, as well as hosting select women's matches.
It will also be one of 10 venues for Euro 2028, to be played across the UK and Ireland, and has been shortlisted as a host venue for the 2025 Ashes tournament, a major cricket event.
Where is the new Everton stadium?
Everton Stadium is located at Bramley-Moore Dock in the Vauxhall district of Liverpool.
The site is right on the water, adjacent to the River Mersey and just about a 45 minute walk from Goodison Park.
Other locations considered over the years while Everton mulled a new stadium were King's Dock, Kirkby, and Stanley Park, with the latter being a failed proposal to co-finance a shared venue with rivals Liverpool.
What is the capacity of the new Everton stadium?
The new Everton Stadium will hold just under 53,000 fans, with a listed capacity of 52,888 spectators. This will make it the eighth-largest venue in England.
This marks a significant increase from Goodison Park, which fit just under 40,000 fans.
The venue will be built on top of the existing dock, which is filled with reclaimed sand from Rivery Mersey. It has been built mainly by Laing O'Rourke, who began construction in July of 2021. Construction paused briefly in August 2023 after a fatal accident on site.
Does the new Everton stadium have a sponsor name?
For now, it's just 'Everton Stadium' or 'Bramley-Moore Dock' to most.
As with other new builds, a sponsorship deal may lead to an 'official' name in the near future.
