What was the name of Everton’s stadium when Everton beat Crystal Palace 2–0 in the 2026–27 Premier League opener?

The story behind the answer

Everton played at Hill Dickinson Stadium when they beat Crystal Palace 2–0 in the 2026–27 Premier League opener.

The match took place on 22 August 2026 and gave Everton their first opening Premier League victory in five years. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall scored the opening goal, while Thierno Barry added a second after half-time.

The fixture was historically notable because Everton were playing at their new home rather than Goodison Park. Goodison Park had been Everton’s home for more than a century, but the club moved to the Bramley-Moore Dock site for the 2025–26 season.

Crystal Palace began the campaign under new manager Pierre Sage. The visitors also suffered an injury setback when defender Chadi Riad was carried off during the match.
