Everton are to move into their new stadium at the start of the 2025-26 season, despite work on the project at Bramley Moore dock being scheduled to finish late next year.

The club have made the decision to relocate from Goodison Park during the close season, rather than mid-season, following consultations with supporters. Everton stress that the timing is not due to any construction issues at the new 52,888-capacity stadium, although they still need to secure the funds to finish the build. The development remains on course for completion towards the end of 2024.
