Which stadium hosted Everton versus Crystal Palace during the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend?
Answer
Hill Dickinson Stadium
Hill Dickinson Stadium hosted Everton versus Crystal Palace during the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.
The match was scheduled for Saturday 22 August 2026, with a 15:00 BST kick-off. It was part of the first Saturday afternoon group of fixtures in the new Premier League season.
The venue represented a major change in Everton’s home-ground history. Everton had played at Goodison Park for more than a century before moving to the waterfront stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock. The new ground was named Hill Dickinson Stadium for the 2026–27 campaign.
Crystal Palace’s own home ground is Selhurst Park, but Palace were the visiting club for this fixture. Anfield, another well-known Liverpool stadium, belongs to Liverpool and was not the venue for Everton’s opening-weekend match.
