Everton to Host Test Events at New Bramley-Moore Dock Stadium

The Premier League club will hold three matches with limited attendance to secure safety certifications ahead of the 2025-26 season.

Everton's new £750 million Bramley-Moore Dock stadium will host its first test event on February 17, featuring the club's Under-18 team and 10,000 spectators.
Additional test events include a March or April match with the Under-21 team and 25,000 fans, and a third event later in the season with a near-full capacity crowd of 52,888.
The restricted-capacity matches are required to obtain safety and operational certifications for the stadium ahead of its official opening next season.
Tickets for the test events will be allocated via a ballot for season ticket holders, shareholders, and hospitality members, with prices set at £5 for adults and £2.50 for concessions.
Everton's new U.S.-based owners, The Friedkin Group, aim to boost the club's revenue through naming rights and increased matchday earnings at the new venue.
