A new era is beginning at Everton following some huge changes to unfold over recent months.

David Moyes will be keen to see new signings made sooner rather than later as he prepares for the pre-season efforts.

The Friedkins are ready to financially back Everton in the summer market, but it is proving a difficult window to operate in.

It is not just summer signings that Everton fans have to be excited about as the club prepares for the move into the new stadium.

Goodison Park is now a thing of the past for the men’s team as the Friedkins hold big plans to keep the stadium around.

However, there are already some concerns growing about the first game to be played at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

Major Hill Dickinson Stadium concern after Everton fixture release

Everton will play Leeds United away from home in their opening game of the 2025/26 campaign.

The first game at Everton’s new stadium will take place on the second weekend of the season against Brighton & Hove Albion

According to BBC Sport journalist Giulia Bould, there are already some concerns over a potential clash happening on the day of the first game on the docks.

‘Everton’s first competitive game at the Hills Dickinson Stadium is weekend of 23/24 Aug,’ she posted on social media.

‘It coincides with International Beatles Week with concerts at The Pier Head.

‘Given big issues with trains/travel for the LFC parade, hope @Merseytravel @LpoolCityRegion @LCRMayor are prepped.’

Sean Dyche has shared his concerns about Everton’s new stadium, and there have been some teething issues along the way.

Transportation has been perhaps the biggest issue and Liverpool Council will certainly see their efforts strained on the first game at the new ground.

Everton’s new stadium will be a game changer

Moving into the new stadium is hopefully going to be the change Everton need to propel themselves forward back into the top end of the table.

Everton expect big financial gains from the new stadium which will certainly help the club to compete against the bigger sides in the Premier League.

It seems there will be some issues along the way as far as the fans are concerned as the club and authorities find their feet in the new location.

However, Everton also hope the new stadium will attract new players who will be keen to play at such a stadium.
