The dawn of a new month brings with it excitement and anticipation as Everton’s 2025/26 pre-season gets underway in a couple of weeks. The Blues will face League Two side Accrington Stanley in a friendly on July 15.
David Moyes’ side will fly to the United States for the 2025 Premier League Summer Series. They will face Bournemouth, West Ham and Manchester United in three friendlies at different venues across the states.
We can expect the arrival of a few new faces by then, with the club’s owners facing an unprecedented challenge to fill the several gaps and holes present in Everton’s current barebones squad.
The Toffees should sort out the bulk of their recruitment by the end of July to make sure that a competitive squad is in place by the time a new season of the Premier League kicks off on August 18. Everton are set to take on Leeds United away from home in their first competitive fixture of the season.
History will be made the following week as the Blues will take on Brighton & Hove Albion in their first official game at the Hill Dickinson Stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock.
Here are all the important dates to keep an eye out for leading up to the new season:

Since Bill Kenwright purchased Everton, I can off the top of my head only remember a couple of times that Everton, have been really prepared for a new season, Anjishnu.
I write, because when you write that The Toffees should have most of their signings done by the end of July, to make sure that a competitive squad is in place for the start of the new season, to tell you it very rarely works this way at Everton.
Fail to prepare - then prepare to fail, has unfortunately been the problem at our once great club, for way too long now. So its going to be intriguing to see if this changes now
