What's new for 2025/26: Everton move to league's 62nd stadium

Our series looking at this season's changes in the Premier League continues with Everton's new Hill Dickinson ground

As part of our series taking a look at what's new in the Premier League for 2025/26, we turn our attention to the addition of a new name to the league’s historic list of venues.

This season, Everton’s Hill Dickinson Stadium will become the 62nd ground to host a Premier League fixture.

The stadium, located at Bramley-Moore Dock on Liverpool’s waterfront, will host its first top-flight match on Sunday 24 August, when Everton face Brighton & Hove Albion.

With a capacity of 52,769, Everton now have the seventh-largest stadium in the Premier League, behind Manchester United (75,653), West Ham United (62,500), Tottenham Hotspur (62,062), Liverpool (61,276), Arsenal (60,704) and Manchester City (55,097). 

The Hill Dickinson Stadium becomes Everton's new home following their departure from Goodison Park, where they had played since 1892.
