Everton’s new Bramley-Moore Dock has been heralded a ‘game changer’ for the regeneration of Liverpool.
The Toffees are set to make the move from Goodison Park to their new, 52,888-seat stadium next summer, ready for the start of the 2025-26 football season.
With the construction phase to be completed very soon, the state-of-the-art grounds will be able to hold around 13,000 more fans than Everton’s current home, and will be the ‘beating heart’ of the Liverpool Waters scheme.
The Liverpool Waters project aims to transform derelict dock spaces and breathe new life into an historic part of the city landscape, with Development Director for Peel Waters, Chris Capes, branding the new stadium a ‘game changer’.

He said: “Commercially it’s going to be a game changer and economically it’s also important for this northern end of the city and Kirkdale, in terms of the creation of jobs, bringing further investment and further development into this part of Liverpool.”
The biggest regeneration scheme in the North West of England, Liverpool Waters will play a significant part in future matchdays and the further regeneration of North Liverpool. A three-year programme of infrastructure will see the dockland south of Everton Stadium redeveloped, attracting new commercial opportunities, tourist facilities and open spaces.
