Everton fans have made a clear demand for the Hill Dickinson Stadium after a recent announcement was shared online.
After test events at the ground earlier in 2025, Everton will move into the Hill Dickinson Stadium from the beginning of the 2025/26 campaign.
Everton said an emotional goodbye to Goodison Park in May, a ground that has been their home since 1892. Next season will see a new era begin at the football club in their brand new state-of-the-art stadium.
Bramley-Moore Dock is set to be a financial game-changer for Everton, with the increased capacity meaning much higher revenue. David Moyes is set to be the first manager to take charge of Everton at the new stadium, but he may have to wait a little bit longer for his first game there.
A recent club announcement confirmed two more pre-season games, away at Accrington Stanley and Blackburn Rovers respectively. With Everton confirming more friendlies this summer, fans have made one big demand before the start of the new Premier League season.

Everton fans want Hill Dickinson Stadium friendly
Moyes was unhappy that he could not train at the Hill Dickinson Stadium with his team after the pitch had been dug up, and now it looks like the wait will go on to finally play on the pitch at the new ground.
Everton are playing in the Premier League’s Summer Series in America as well as the friendlies against Accrington and Blackburn, so playing in the new stadium is now looking less likely.
Speaking on social media platform X, Everton fans have one clear demand ahead of next season.
“Surely we need a few home games in there.” said one fan, while another added: “Leaving the European friendly until the last minute?”
This fan expects the home friendly to be announced much later, saying: “Looking forward to hearing details of a potential home friendly on our return from the US.”
“When is the third test event?” said this restless Everton fan.
Another fan added: “Decent need a few new players in by then.”
Finally, this Everton fan said: “Going to be a long couple of months.”

How much will Everton receive from the new stadium naming rights?
It was officially confirmed that Bramley-Moore Dock will be called the Hill Dickinson Stadium, after The Friedkin Group agreed with the Liverpool-based law firm over naming rights.
With the new stadium set to be a real money-spinner for the club, the Friedkins have worked their magic to get a great deal out of the naming rights.
Everton will receive £6m each year from Hill Dickinson to have their name on the stadium. While the fee is still a good one, it is significantly less than the £10m that was originally being reported when the deal was first struck.
Fans will now hope that the money they earn from the deal will go into signing quality players this summer and beyond as Moyes looks to take the club into a new era.
