Everton’s Premier League fixtures for the 2025/26 campaign have been released.
Excitement around the Toffees’ upcoming season is already growing as David Moyes’ side moves into the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
However, Everton fans must wait slightly longer for their first competitive game at Bramley-Moore Dock.
Everton take on Leeds United at Elland Road in their opening match as the Merseyside club welcome them back to the Premier League.

Everton to play opening Premier League fixture on a Monday for first time in 13 years
While TV selections need to be decided now that the Premier League fixtures have been released, the opening weekend broadcast coverage has already been confirmed.
MORE TOFFEES STORIES
Everton are set to travel to Elland Road on Monday, 18 August, with the match to be shown live on Sky Sports.
It will no doubt be a tricky match for Moyes’ side as he takes on the Championship title winners.
Now, as shared by EFC Statto on X (18 June), this will be the first time Everton kick off their season on a Monday night since 2012, a 13-year gap.
In the previous fixture, the Toffees overcame Manchester United 1-0 thanks to a goal from Marouane Fellaini.
Opening Premier League fixtures pose a big challenge for Moyes
The opening Premier League fixtures for Everton are not easy.
Elland Road is arguably one of the toughest places to go on the opening day, as the crowd will be bouncing after their return to the Premier League.
On top of this, the Toffees are likely to go through a transition period at the Hill Dickinson Stadium as the fans and players get used to their new surroundings.

Brighton and Aston Villa will be the first two teams to travel to Bramley-Moore Dock, with both aiming for European football.
These games will no doubt pose a big challenge for Moyes as he looks to get off to a good start.
While the pressure will be on the Scotsman, hopefully, he can guide the Toffees to a successful start.
