Everton’s Hill Dickinson Stadium will play a major role at UEFA EURO 2028, with the state-of-the-art venue confirmed to host five fixtures during the UK and Ireland tournament.
The stadium, located at Bramley-Moore Dock on Liverpool’s waterfront, will welcome four group-stage matches on Sunday, June 11, Wednesday, June 14, Saturday, June 17, and Tuesday, June 20, before staging one Round of 16 clash on June 24.
It marks another proud moment for Everton and the city of Liverpool, which will once again be in the football spotlight.
Why did UEFA select Everton’s Hill Dickinson Stadium to host Euro 2028 matches?
UEFA’s selection of Hill Dickinson Stadium is as a result of the arena’s cutting-edge design and atmosphere, having been hailed as one of the most impressive new football grounds in Europe since opening in early 2025.
With a capacity of around 53,000, the venue combines modern sustainability with a nod to Merseyside’s industrial heritage, features that perfectly align with UEFA’s “green tournament” vision for Euro 2028.
Liverpool joins an elite group of host cities across the UK and Ireland, including London, Manchester, Birmingham, Newcastle, Glasgow, Cardiff, Belfast, and Dublin. England will host the final stages of the tournament, with Wembley Stadium set to stage both semi-finals and the final on July 9.
