Everton will face Brighton & Hove Albion in their first competitive fixture at their new 52,888-capacity Hill Dickinson Stadium on Saturday, August 23 (3pm). The Seagulls also provided the opposition for the Blues’ first game of their historic final season at Goodison Park last year.

David Moyes’ men will start the 2025/26 season with a trip to newly promoted Leeds United on Monday, August 18 (8pm), some three days after neighbours Liverpool start at home to Bournemouth with a Friday night fixture.

The first Merseyside Derby comes in just Everton’s fifth fixture, going to Anfield on September 20 after they have tackled West Midlands duo Wolverhampton Wanderers (away, August 30) and Aston Villa (home, September 13) in back-to-back fixtures either side of the first international break of the new campaign.

Join Ian Croll, Tony Scott and Chris Beesley as they react to the 2025/26 fixture list.

Everton have started their summer recruitment drive with the permanent capture of Carlos Alcaraz after a successful spell on loan. But there remains a lot for David Moyes to do.

Little wonder, then, the Blues boss is getting linked with players left, right and centre, whether it be Manchester City pair Jack Grealish and James McAtee, or Villarreal rising star Thierno Barry.

But there are also pressing contract situations to sort, most pertinently Idrissa Gueye, who alongside Everton team-mate Iliman Ndiaye, starred as Senegal secured a stunning 3-1 win at the City Ground last night over woeful England, whose decision to rest Jordan Pickford backfired.

Everton’s recruitment team has been formally boosted by the appointment of Nick Hammond. The transfer specialist has now started his work as part of the new-look recruitment team at Everton.

Join Ian Croll and Connor O’Neill as they discuss the latest transfer news and rumours coming out of the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

Everton are braced for another summer of interest in Jarrad Branthwaite. The centre-back remains on the radar of several Premier League clubs.

The Blues rebuffed two bids for the 22-year-old from Manchester United last summer. Neither offer, with the second for a package worth around £50m, came close to meeting the club’s valuation of a player who had enjoyed a stunning breakthrough year.

Branthwaite is under contract at Everton until the end of June 2027, having signed a new deal following his emergence into the first team in the opening months of the 2023/24 campaign. Everton, who signed him from Carlisle United in 2020, are in a strong position to rebuff speculative interest as a result.

Looking deeper into the squad, a number of Everton players with uncertain futures remain out the club, but for how long? Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Michael Keane will see their contracts run out at the end of June while Nathan Patterson has struggled to impress upon his return from injury. 

A forward remains a priority for the blues having been rebuffed by Liam Delap, who chose Chelsea. Where does that leave Beto who has turned his Everton career around with a bag full of goals in the second half of the season? 

Join Ian Croll and Tony Scott for the Wednesday addition of the Royal Blue podcast as they discuss the latest transfer news and rumours and give their thoughts on who they would keep, sell and release.
