Photographs revealed by the club show the latest progress made by the stadium’s developers. Everton are hoping to be able to host a test event at the venue in the spring ahead of the new 2025/26 football season.

Situated in Bramley-Moore Dock in Vauxhall, Liverpool, the new stadium will house 52,888 fans and be used for music concerts and other sporting events to maximise revenue.

Everton Desperate to Still Be in Premier League for Launch

It has been a difficult start to the 2024/25 Premier League season for Everton. They are just 15/8 for those looking to bet on Premier League and its relegation market. Sean Dyche’s side have a lot of work to do to secure their status in the top flight.

Everton are likely to be one of the leading football tips for their away clash with Premier League newcomers Ipswich Town following the international break. Since their defeat to Aston Villa, the Toffees are unbeaten in four matches in all competitions. They have shown an improvement in form, which is a big boost to their survival chances.

Former Burnley manager Dyche has revealed he is desperate to still be at the Merseyside club for the stadium launch in 2025. His future may depend on how well his team fares this season. He is one of several managers at high-profile clubs in the Premier League that is under pressure to keep their job.

Other Premier League Clubs Looking at Ground Options

Everton are unlikely to be the latest Premier League to move into a new home over the next few years. Manchester United are another club who are in advanced talks with their stakeholders regarding a new stadium.

Manchester United currently have the largest ground of the 20 clubs in the Premier League. Old Trafford has a capacity of 74,310 but the stadium in Greater Manchester is showing signs of being tired. United’s owners want to build one of the best football stadiums in the world to boost the local economy.

Liverpool are also considering their options for the future. They have decided to redevelop their current stadium for now. The recent extension of the Anfield Road Stand brought the capacity up to 61,000. There were some talks with Everton regarding a possible stadium share deal but supporters of both clubs rejected that suggestion.

Everton Stadium Confirmed as A Euro 2028 Host Stadium

Everton were handed a big boost by UEFA as the new stadium in Bramley-Moore Dock will be one of the grounds used at Euro 2028. The tournament will be co-hosted by England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

Wembley Stadium, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, City of Manchester Stadium, St James’ Park, and Villa Park were the other venues announced in England for Euro 2028. With it being the national stadium, Wembley will host the final on the 9th of July 2028.

Naming rights and other stadium partners are likely to be revealed by Everton ahead of the launch of the new venue in early 2025.
