About the stadium
Hill Dickinson Stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock has been Everton's new home since 2025, after 133 years at Goodison Park. Capacity is 52,769, the construction cost was about £750 million, and the first competitive match there was held on 24 August 2025 - a 2-0 win over Brighton. The four stands are named after the compass points, and the South Stand - the "Blue Wall", about 14,000 seats with safe standing in the lower tier - was designed inspired by Borussia Dortmund's "Yellow Wall". The stadium was pre-planned with the option to expand by about 10,000 more seats in the future.
FAQ
How do you buy tickets to an Everton match?

A Forever Blue Digital membership is free but does not grant any right to buy a ticket - only points and rewards. The first sale window for each match opens about four weeks in advance.

How do you get to Hill Dickinson Stadium?
You reach Hill Dickinson Stadium by train to Sandhills station, about a 15-minute walk from the entrance. This is also the official recommendation for the way back. Two more stations within walking distance: Bank Hall and Moorfields (about 24 minutes). Before and after the match, Merseyrail runs a train every 15 minutes. Note: there is no direct journey from Liverpool Lime Street station to Sandhills - a change is required. In addition, four shuttle bus lines operate on matchdays (918, 919, 929, 939); lines 919 and 929 depart every 10 minutes and start running three hours before the match. The walk from the stadium to the city center takes about 30 minutes.
Is there parking at Hill Dickinson Stadium?
There is no parking at Hill Dickinson Stadium for regular ticket holders, and the restrictions extend over the whole area. The matchday controlled parking zone covers the entire area within a 30-minute walk of the stadium, and the restrictions apply on most streets between 10:00 and midnight. Alternative: the Strand car park in Bootle offers up to 500 spaces at a price of £1.80 to £7.50, and from there a shuttle at £2 each way, or a 6-minute train from Bootle New Strand to Sandhills. There are also 152 bicycle parking spots along Regent Road.
How do you get to an Everton match from Israel?
For an Everton match in Liverpool, you fly to London or Manchester and continue by train. There is no direct flight from Tel Aviv to Liverpool. Two routes: a flight to London and from there a direct train from London Euston station to Liverpool Lime Street station - 177 miles, about two hours' journey. Or a flight to Manchester, whose airport is less than an hour's drive from central Liverpool. Liverpool's own airport is less than 20 minutes from the city center.
Does an Israeli need a visa to fly to the UK for the match?
Not a visa, but yes an entry authorization. Since 8 January 2025, Israeli citizens have been required to have a UK ETA. The cost is £20, it allows multiple entries and is valid for two years or until the passport expires - whichever comes first - and permits a stay of up to 6 months per visit. You apply on the official website or the UK ETA app. The response usually arrives within a day, but you should allow up to three working days, and you must not fly before the authorization has been received by email.
Where should you sit at Hill Dickinson Stadium?
At Hill Dickinson Stadium, the atmosphere is concentrated in the South Stand - the "Blue Wall", about 14,000 seats. Its lower tier has safe standing and the upper tier is seated, and it was designed inspired by Dortmund's fan stand. This is the noisy stand. The East and West Stands are the most expensive and also have the best views. The Family Stand is the cheapest of all. Away fans are placed in the lower corner of the North Stand. The gates open two hours before the match, and the fan zone as early as three hours before.
When is the Merseyside derby?
Everton's home Merseyside derby is scheduled for the weekend of 28 November 2026. In the 2026/27 season, the return fixture against Liverpool at Anfield will be held on 30 January 2027. Premier League match dates are moved for broadcast purposes, so it's not worth fixing a flight and hotel before the date is finally confirmed. The season's first home match is against Crystal Palace on 22 August 2026.
What's special about Everton and its new stadium?
Everton left Goodison Park after 133 years and moved to Hill Dickinson Stadium. This is the biggest move an English club has made in the last generation. After more than 130 years at Goodison Park - its home since 1892 - the team moved at the start of the 2025/26 season to a brand-new waterfront stadium, at Bramley-Moore Dock in north Liverpool, about two miles from the old ground. The stadium, now named Hill Dickinson Stadium after a Liverpool law firm, is part of the city's waterfront regeneration project. Its attendance record has already been set: 52,590 spectators against Sunderland on 17 May 2026. It was also selected as one of six English stadiums to host Euro 2028, alongside Wembley, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the Etihad, St James' Park and Villa Park.
