Everton new stadium: Latest on £500m Goodison Park replacement plans

Amidst an ongoing series of crises at Everton in the last half-decade, the club has been laying the groundwork for an incredible new stadium that it hopes will define a renewed era of success.

But why are Everton leaving Goodison Park? How much will the move cost? What will the capacity be? And when will the new Everton stadium open?

Football Ground Guide offers the answers to all these questions in this regularly updated guide.

What's the latest with Everton's new stadium?

October 2025 – Women's team play first game at Hill Dickinson Stadium while new menu items are added

Everton women may use Goodison Park as their regular home ground, but they played their first match at the Hill Dickinson Stadium against Manchester United on October 12. Brian Sorensen's side were unable to take anything from the contest as they fell to a 4-1 defeat in the Women's Super League.

Meanwhile, Everton have announced that a new range of menu items have been made available at the stadium, including an expanded range of gluten-free options. The ‘new and enhanced' items have been added following feedback from supporters.

September 2025 – New dining experience is on the way

A new dining experience will soon be available at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, but it will be invite-only.

Hosted by 53° North, the experience will be available for up to 36 guests each matchday and is being billed as a ‘bespoke and elegant' matchday dining experience. On offer to guests is a modern tasting menu with British and Swiss influences, crafted by Adam Bateman.

What makes this experience so unique, though, is the fact that it is set in a watch showroom, the first of its kind in a sports stadium across the world.

In terms of the match, fans on this experience will watch from a premium padded pitchside seat.

August 2025 – Hill Dickinson Stadium opens its doors to Premier League football

After years of waiting, Everton finally made the move from Goodison Park to the Liverpool Waterfront, and have now played their first competitive fixture at Hill Dickinson Stadium.

It was the perfect moving-in party for the Toffees too, as David Moyes's men beat Brighton & Hove Albion 2-0 on the second weekend of the new season, with new boy Jack Grealish assisting both goals for Iliman Ndiaye and James Garner on a perfect afternoon for the blue half of Merseyside.

The majority of the 50,000 Everton fans who embarked on Bramley-Moore Dock left delighted with the ambience inside the ground too, and fans of other clubs have been largely complimentary about the new venue, calling it a very impressive stadium, perfect for football.

Logistics and accessibility concerns also passed with little drama too, with more public transport put on compared to a normal Sunday to deal with the demands of 50,000 spectators, while entry into the stadium was mostly seamless for many, but there has been complaints about queue times on the concourses, and the lack of bathroom facilities.

July 2025 – Final test event announced ahead of new season

Everton have confirmed that the third and final Hill Dickinson Stadium test event will take place against Roma, who are also owned by the Friedkin Group, on August 9.

In hopes of attracting a 50,000-strong crowd, supporters present for the friendly, which kicks off at 3pm, will also be treated to a Legends match between players gone by from both Everton and Roma, which will get underway at 5:30pm.

Peter Reid will take charge of the Everton XI, while legendary manager Fabio Capello will oversee the Roma Legends at Hill Dickinson, in what will be an entertaining double header on the eve of the 2025-26 Premier League season for the Toffees' supporters.

Everton get their Premier League campaign underway away to Leeds United the weekend after on Monday night, before they will turn out for their first competitive fixture at their new waterfront stadium against Brighton & Hove Albion on gameweek two.

This double-header versus Roma should allow the club to get clearance for the stadium to open in time for the new campaign, passing all relevant safety checks with a capacity crowd in attendance.

June 2025 – Final piece of the jigsaw nears completion

With the countdown now on until Everton play their first competitive match at the new stadium, fans have bene keen to know whether the new ‘Everton Way' path will be finished in time for the start of the new season.

The walkway has been billed as one of the standout features of the new stadium due to the fact that it will contain 36,000 personalised stones from Everton supporters from across the world, ensuring that fans have an immediate connection to their new home.

The good news for Everton fans is that the actual stone-laying process is now on the verge of completion, meaning that fans will be able to see their stones before the first Premier League match at the Hill Dickinson Stadium against Brighton on 23 August.

The installations are being taken care of by a group called Intaglio Creative. Their Director, Kevin O'Brien, provided the following update:

“We are pretty much finished as far as laying is concerned.

“As everyone knows, 36,000 stones were sold and there are about 34,500 in the ground right now. Those last 1,500 will be in before the end of next week, then we've got the timeline to finish, and we’ll be into the cleaning, sealing, and grouting.”

June 2025 – Liverpool council receives government funding to improve transport links

As part of a £1.6bn funding package being granted to Liverpool City Council, they have committed £100m of that towards new rapid public transport routes to Liverpool Airport, and the city's two football stadiums, including Everton's new home at Bramley-Moore Dock.

Widespread criticism aimed at the council and Metro Mayor Steve Rotheram followed a test event at the new stadium that attracted 25,000 fans earlier this year. The public transport in and around the ground struggled to cope with the number of supporters.

With almost 53,000 people set to converge on the area every fortnight when the new Premier League season gets underway in August, groundwork is now being laid to improve public transport in the area. At present, one small train station at Sandhills is the only viable direct route.

The money will be only be allocated from 2027 though, with all of the new infrastructure set to be in full working order before the end of the decade, so for the time being, alternative solutions must be found to stem the flows of supporters who will be making their way to the stadium on matchday.

May 2025 – Law firm Hill Dickinson wins rights to sponsor Everton Stadium

Everton have confirmed that Hill Dickinson, a law firm based in the city, have been given the official naming rights for the club's new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock in a multi-year deal.

A statement from the club announcing the news claims that the deal is one of the biggest in Europe. Some sources state that the income it could generate may amount to roughly £ 10 m per year.

The club seemed keen to award the rights to a local firm, with the two set to work together to give back to the local community, something that manager David Moyes hoped for when asked about the move, saying that the club must not forget about the area following the departure from Goodison Park.

Alisher Usmanov's company USM were in line to be given the naming rights, after also putting their name to Everton's training ground at Finch Farm, but all ties were cut following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and the freezing of Usmanov's assets.

That left it a complete mystery as to where the naming rights may go. While some were underwhelmed by both the name and the potential global reach of Hill Dickinson, others were glad to see the club choose a local company to sponsor the stadium instead of one from the Middle East or North America.

May 2025 – New public transport route to the stadium to be trialled

After a string of concerns relating to public transport routes to Bramley-Moore Dock from in and around Liverpool, a new bus service is set to be trialled at the third stadium test event.

The 918 Stagecoach service will connect fans in Kirky to Everton's new home, with the bus set to pass through and stop at Croxteth, Norris Green, Queens Drive and Spellow Lane on the way to Bramley-Moore Dock.

The hope is that this service could ease the burden on other bus routes, but also Sandhills Train Station, the nearest railway station to the stadium. In both of the two test events so far, concerns have been raised about whether Sandhills has the facilities to cope with the demands of thousands of football fans.

Although work to the station is planned, it may not be enough to completely satisfy all supporters. This new bus route will be first used during the third test event, with a date still to be confirmed. However, fans can more than likely expect it to be part of Everton's pre-season friendly schedule.

If all goes well, then the bus route could become a permanent route on match days.

May 2025 – Goodison farewell announced

After many weeks of waiting and deliberating, Everton fans finally learned when they will be able to wave Goodison goodbye ahead of the move to their new waterfront stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock, as their final ever fixture against Southampton was scheduled for noon on Sunday, May 18.

The Everton Fan Advisory Board wrote an open letter to the Premier League pleading for a sensible kickoff time for the final game. They argued it will give way to as many supporters as possible the best chance of enjoying their final game as thoroughly as possible.

Concern first arose when delays to the fixture announcement led many to believe that, in partnership with the broadcasters, the Premier League were planning on moving the fixture to a Monday night, which many fans claimed would make it difficult for some to attend.

Most supporters would have hoped for a simple 3 pm kickoff on Saturday. But with the FA Cup final taking place the same day, no there are no scheduled Premier League fixtures, with most rescheduled on Friday, Sunday and Monday instead.

There are still some complaints about the kickoff time that has been announced, though, with some claiming that the noon start will remove the opportunity for fans to congregate before the match and build up an atmosphere throughout the day.

Nevertheless, Goodison Park will be packed to the rafters for the fixture against the Saints, with almost 40,000 fans congregating to bid an emotional farewell to one of the most famous stadiums in English football.

April 2025 – Test events pass with mixed reviews

Everton supporters were finally able to set foot inside their glittering new home on the banks of River Mersey in February and March, when two test events took place involving the club's youth sides, with the first welcoming a crowd of 10,000, before the second at the end of March saw 25,000 embark on Bramley-Moore Dock.

While Everton fans have been blown away by Bramley-Moore Dock facilities and the general outlook of the venue, they have reservations about the services inside and outside the new venue. The main sticking point is the transport links to the stadium, which has led to huge criticism being aimed towards Liverpool City Council and the city's metro mayor, Steve Rotheram.

Sandhills train station, which is the closest to the new ground, is expected to serve as many as 20,000 supporters once the stadium is fully open. However, chaotic scenes and lengthy queues that were witnessed during the test events have raised suitability concerns, especially the station's capability to serve thousands who will troop to the stadium every matchday.

Only taking into consideration matters that the club can control though, everything seemed to pass with flying colours, as the most recent test event saw the stadium staff execute a safe evacuation, avoid hold-ups at the turnstiles with new digital tickets, and a wide variety of food and alcoholic beverages were available for the first time. One final test event is scheduled to take place shortly, which will more than likely be in front of a capacity crowd, but details on that are yet to be announced.

March 2025 – Long-term funding and Rugby Ashes host

A consortium of institutional lenders has provided £350 million in financing to refinance the loans for the development of Bramley-Moore Dock. This financing attracted more interest than anticipated, benefiting Everton with favourable conditions. The Friedkin Group aims to strengthen the Club's foundation for future success and ensure the long-term sustainability of the stadium. This recent development addresses fans' concerns about the financial obligations of the stadium following the group's acquisition of the club.

Bramley-Moore Dock is a potential venue for the Rugby League Ashes series, alongside Wembley. Originally planned to be held in Australia, the series will mark the first time since 2003 that the Kangaroos will compete in an Ashes series in the UK. No official announcement has been made by the RFL yet, as they await confirmation of Bramley-Moore Dock's certification after a second test event. England coach Shaun Wane expressed his excitement about the series potentially being held in England. The date for the tour is yet to be confirmed, but it is assumed to be after the start of the 2026/27 Premier League season, with an announcement expected soon.

February 2025: Everton secure facilities contract

Everton's new stadium is contracted with OCS for integrated facilities management at Bramley-Moore Dock. The 52,888-capacity arena aims to be ready for the 2025/26 football season.

OCS, serving 8,000 clients across the UK, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East, has a five-year agreement to manage stadium facilities, including waste, cleaning, and security services. They will hire up to 200 local staff for operations. OCS will conduct a Carbon Impact Assessment and apply sustainable practices, supporting Everton's carbon reduction commitment.

They will also establish ESG champion roles to fulfil social value commitments, benefiting local communities through recruitment, training, and development.

Richard Kenyon, Everton's Chief Commercial Officer, said, “OCS brings a broad client base and a strong facilities management track record, making them an excellent partner. Their commitment to high standards and community impact is apparent from our initial meetings. We look forward to collaborating on community initiatives and enhancing fan experiences.”

Bruce McDonnell, Managing Director of OCS’s private sector division, commented, “We have streamlined operations at iconic UK stadiums, ensuring safety and satisfaction for fans, players, and staff.”

January 2025: Test events announced

Everton has announced the first set of test events at their new stadium, Bramley-Moore Dock, as part of preparations for the 2025/26 season. The events will take place starting on 17 February, featuring an Under-18 friendly with a capacity of 10,000, followed by an Under-21 friendly with a capacity of 25,000.

Tickets will be available through a ballot open from 3 January to 10 January, for existing Season Ticket Members, hospitality members, certain supporters, and shareholders.

A third test event is planned, but details are not yet available as the club needs to secure the necessary licenses first. Each supporter can enter the ballot once and must specify two preferred seating areas. Successful applicants will receive ticket allocations, while those unsuccessful will be guaranteed tickets for the third event. Tickets are priced at £5 for adults and £2.50 for concessions, with restrictions on resale or transfer. Additional information on parking and catering will be shared closer to the events.

December 2024: New ownership, debt-free, stadium naming rights, and season tickets

December has been a busy month for Everton and its new stadium, Bramley-Moore Dock. First, the club announced that in early 2025, season tickets will start to be rolled out to fans. These tickets will be based on tenure, with those with 23 years of tenure getting the first chance to purchase. 

The good news continued to flow for Everton with news that the new owners were looking to sell the naming rights for the new stadium and raise around £200 million in the process. Once the Everton takeover was confirmed, the new ownership also confirmed that they had paid off the club's debt. Meaning Everton will now walk into the new stadium without any debt hanging over them.

The club will take ownership of the stadium in January 2025, so we expect to see if more news from the club in the coming months.

December 2024: Grass continues to grow as the club prepares for handover

December is an extra special month for Everton this year, as at the end of the month, the stadium will officially be handed over to the football club with all building work complete.

The club released a video at the beginning of the month, which shows how the new pitch is getting on at the stadium. The grass is growing nicely at pitch level following the installation of hybrid turf that is comprised of tiny synthetic fibres stitched together by heavy machinery.

For the first time, it's now very easy to picture being played at the brand-new stadium. The only question that remains is whether Everton will be opening their stadium as a Premier League club or a Championship side with another relegation battle on the horizon in the coming months.

November 2024: Club view & virtual experience

Everton announced a new virtual experience for Bramley-Moore to help fans pick a seat for their season tickets. When initially launched, the experience was purely for fans to look inside the stadium with a 360-degree view. However, in 2025, when season tickets go on sale for the 25/26 season, fans will gain access to a “seat view” to help them pick a seat. The virtual view tool is live now, so fans can look at the stadium. 

The club also revealed a new exclusive membership, “club view,” which gives fans access to an exclusive social space on level 3 of the Easy Stand. Club View membership will go on sale in January 2025 and cost £1,200 per person. A reduced price of £900 for concessions will also be available. It will first be available for season ticket holders, though there is no news about future availability at this time.

November 2024: Recruitment drive

As the reality begins to set in that football will be played at the new stadium in less than a year, Everton has started a large recruitment drive for new stewards. The Bramley-Moore Dock stadium will have 11,000 more seats than Goodison Park, but Everton plans to double its number of stewards.

In addition to the extra stewards needed inside the stadium, the club is looking to employ stewards who will be based outside of it, particularly for non-football events such as concerts.

The plan is to get these new stewards on board by January 2025 so that they can all familiarise themselves with the stadium and security protocol in plenty of time before the first match here in August 2025.

— Everton Stadium (@EvertonStadium) November 4, 2024

Another exciting update about Everton's new stadium concerns the pitch, with the latest reports from Merseyside suggesting that the grass is now starting to grow.

Earlier in November, the Toffees had confirmed that SIS hybrid grass seeds had been planted, and it appears as though they are now starting to take shape.

Having initially been covered to protect the underlying foundations, the pitch is now exposed and, if development continues at its current rate, is expected to be completed in time for the start of 2025. This will allow the Toffees to begin hosting test events to ensure the venue is ready for Premier League football.

October 2024: New stadium features announced

With the stadium nearing completion, some of the finishing touches are now being finalised. One of the latest things to be announced is a new commemorative ‘fan wall' that will be erected outside the stadium to celebrate legends from the past.

The new wall will feature artwork of Everton players who have stood out from the crowd while representing the club over the years, and will become an area well worth a visit for fans before home matches at the new stadium.

Some of the players who will feature on the artwork include Dixie Dean, the man who once scored 60 goals in a season, and the holy trinity of Alan Ball, Howard Kendall and Colin Harvey. More recent legends, such as Tim Cahill and Seamus Coleman, will also be featured.

October 2024: Friedkin Group edge closer to Everton takeover

? BREAKING: The Friedkin Group reaches total agreement to buy Everton. TFG purchasing all Farhad Moshiri shares + investing to reduce club debt. Moshiri accepted best deal for #EFC. Approval process ~12wk. Secures financial stability/future @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/iuodV3V47U

— David Ornstein (@David_Ornstein) September 23, 2024

The takeover chaos at Everton feels as though it has been a topic of discussion forever, and there have been numerous red herrings for the club's fans. However, it has now been reported that the Friedkin Group have agreed a deal with all relevant parties regarding their purchase of a majority stake in Everton. At long last, this is finally happening for Toffees fans.

In a joint statement released by the group, they said: “We are focused on securing the necessary approvals to complete the transaction. We look forward to providing stability to the club and sharing our vision for its future, including the completion of the new Everton Stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock.”

While new ownership will inevitably leave some supporters feeling worried, anxious perhaps, about what an uncertain future may bring, there is, at the very least, one positive. The Friedkin Group share the same desires as the fans regarding the completion of Everton's new stadium. And that can only be a good thing.

September 2024: The final piece of the jigsaw is completed

Water is flowing again from the west of the stadium after 17,000 cubic metres of sand was dug up. The sand was originally used to fill up the dock to allow construction work to take place at the stadium, but this has now been replaced with water to allow the surrounding docks to connect with each other once again and the Leeds-Liverpool canal.

The addition of the waterfront provides the stadium with a stunning backdrop and makes it appear like completion is imminent. While Everton won't play in the stadium until next season, excitement is building.

Summer 2024: Failed takeover talks cause financial uncertainty

At the end of 2023, Farhad Moshiri revealed that he was looking to sell the club. This put the future of the new stadium in doubt as it was suddenly unclear who would be paying for it, and Moshiri was looking for a way out.

In September, he agreed to a deal with 777 Partners. However, this deal fell through in June 2024, causing the club to “assess all options” for the future of the ownership. During the period that the 777 group looked to take over Everton, they loaned £200m to help club costs, including finances for the stadium development.

On 14 June, Everton announced that they had agreed a deal with The Friedkin Group to sell the majority stake. During the exclusivity period, the group injected £200m into the Premier League club and a £158m loan to MSP Sports Capital.

However, a month later, these talks also broke down, due to complications around paying off the club's debt and the legal action facing 777 in the US, who have been accused of a “fraudulent scheme”.

The Guardian reported on 23 July that the loan received from The Friedkin Group would not result in Everton facing any significant issues in the short term.

While the club's short-term future looks secure, there are still many issues concerning finding a buyer in the long term. Notably, potential buyers are put off by the £200m loan by the 777 Group due to their ongoing legal issues and inability to repay the money.

In September 2024, a year after the club first went up for sale, American businessman John Textor was given exclusivity in his bid. If all goes well, Textor will be the club' new owner in the coming months, and he has the funds to ensure the stadium is completed on time.

Cladding specialists file for administration

On March 19, 2024, it was reported that Alucraft Systems Ltd, who installed the curtain walling, aluminium rainscreen and composite cladding on the South elevation of the new stadium had filed an administration notice.

The company are one of four businesses that make up the Clarison Group of cladding specialists. Grant Prior reported for Construction Enquirer that the other three businesses are all profitable, unlike Alucraft Systems Ltd.

For the year up to December 31, 2022, the cladding business had a turnover of £18.7 million while generating a pre-tax loss of £5.7 million. This included the employment of 82 staff members.

‘Progress really is rattling along’ – Mark Douglas of the i provides behind-the-scenes update

Mark Douglas of the i provided a fresh update on the progress of the new stadium located at Bramley-Moore Dock.

Douglas said: “Progress really is rattling along. As of the start of this week 30,000 blue seats have been laid, turnstiles are in place, glass has been installed all around the magnificent South Stand and even the cavernous space for the home dressing room has been cored out. There are 1,200 people working on the site on the day we visit and it has been that way since January.”

Part of the design is a “barrel roof” designed to keep fans as close to the pitch as possible. Everton have been keen on replicating the intense atmosphere of Goodison Park at the new stadium. A club employee told Douglas, “On those big game nights it’s going to be an absolute bearpit.”

Bramley Dock workers go on strike

In January 2024, 150 electricians effectively went on strike on the project and walked away from the Bramley Dock site in a dispute over pay.

The workers have reportedly walked away from the project as they believe they aren't being paid a fair rate, while they also claim to have been shortchanged on overtime with work ramping up on the project as Everton look to get the stadium ready for the beginning of the 2025/26 season.

Talking to the local newspaper, the Liverpool Echo, one of the striking electricians said on Wednesday, 24 January, that calls for a pay rise had been “ignored” and that the walkout was workers “taking a stand.” Another electrician added:

“We are the most skilled trade on the site but are paid the least. We want to see a fair uplift in our pay. A substantial number of colleagues walked off the site today. We are local, skilled tradesmen. We just want to support our families. We are giving our blood and guts to the stadium site.

“We are walking off the site at 3.30pm as that is when we have worked our legal eight hours. We are doing everything correctly. We are human beings in a skilled job, we want to be paid correctly.”

Everton are yet to respond to the walkout out although they will want a swift resolution to ensure there are no further delays to the stadium build. The club have already officially announced that the 2024/25 season will be their last at Goodison Park.

Inside Everton's new stadium

Why are Everton leaving Goodison Park?

So, why leave? Well, there is a genuine lack of comfort for supporters, players, and the media at Goodison Park. In addition, there's a lack of corporate facilities at Goodison Park. Everton take home less money from their corporate facilities than any other club in the Premier League does, something which the owners of Everton are desperate to change.

The move to their new stadium will bring in more money from sponsorship deals and corporate seats. Supporters will hope this additional income will be reinvested in the playing squad.

Furthermore, there is little to no room for expansion at Goodison Park itself due to the ground being sandwiched between terraced housing in the city.

What's the location of the new Everton stadium?

Everton's new stadium will be situated just over two miles away from Goodison Park, and it'll be on the banks of the River Mersey at Bramley Moore Dock.

The location is a former commercial dock and the whole area is expected to be transformed thanks to Everton's move, with new shops and housing.

Cost of Everton new stadium

Designed by MEIS Architects and Pattern Architects, the Everton Stadium—as it will officially be known—is being built by Laing O’Rourke, a Dartford-based construction company. The estimated cost for the stadium is around £500m.

In January 2020, Everton announced that they had agreed on naming rights with USM worth a reported £30m. USM already sponsor Everton’s training ground, Finch Farm. Later on, it was also announced that the club would seek out help from major international banks, JP Morgan and MUFG to help secure the finance to ensure the stadium would be built.

In 2022, the club then went on to announce that Liverpool City Council would not be offering a loan to the club to help with the build.

In September 2023, Everton received a £100m loan from MSP Sports Capital to help fund the construction of the new stadium.

What will happen to Goodison Park?

Goodison Park will be demolished shortly after the end of the 2023/24 season, and a new affordable housing estate will take its place. Before the stadium is demolished, the club have organised a ‘Farewell to Goodison' festival that will take place at the end of the current season.

Across three nights from 30 May to 1 June, a series of concerts will take place at the stadium while former legends of the club will also make an appearance to bid farewell to the iconic stadium.

What are the plans for Everton's new stadium?

The Everton stadium will have a steel and glass bowl design. The plans have been much lauded for their design qualities, which intend to complement the architecture of the old dock buildings surrounding the site.

One of the key aspects of the new ground is something called ‘ALL'. Quite what this is remains a little unclear beyond PR speak. In essence, it seems to be a new program offering a wide choice of social spaces, such as pubs, bars and restaurants.

Everton's new stadium capacity

As for capacity, the bowl will be able to seat 52,888 and will have a one-tier stand similar to that at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium inspired by Borussia Dortmund’s Yellow Wall. This stand will hold approximately 13,000 spectators.

Everton new stadium opening date

The Everton Stadium is set to be completed midway through the 2024/25 season, but they will move into their new home at the start of the 2025/26 season.

Other key takeaways

• South Stand terrace is 330ft high, which takes more than 100 steps to get to the very top of the bowl.
• South Stand has a “Long Bar” which overlooks the river.
• Tunnel Club is being built into the West Stand, designed for hospitality packages that will be sold game-by-game.
• Fan plaza in East Stand – Allows the club to hold music events in the off-season.
• The stadium is being built on a World Heritage site, so the design allows it to be dismantled/returned to a working dock if that is required in the future.
• The stadium’s most expensive seats cost £50,000 per season for a pair.

FGG says: A monumental moment for Everton

While it will result in the loss of an iconic ground in Goodison Park, Everton will now have a stadium that can be built on for decades to come. Due to its location and current size, Everton should easily be able to expand the stadium going forward if the need should arise. With Bramley-Moore Dock, Everton move well into the top five stadiums in England, which works as a huge boon for them in the current FFP and PSR world of football finance.
