Everton kick-off their Premier League campaign at home to Crystal Palace
Welcome to our live coverage as Everton kick-off their 2026-27 Premier League campaign against Crystal Palace. Kick-off at Hill Dickinson Stadium is 3pm.
The Blues will be looking to get off to a flying start after the disappointing way last season ended with the dispiriting defeats to Sunderland and Tottenham Hotspur ending any chance of qualifying for Europe.
And there could be debuts for summer signings Hayden Hackney and Brennan Johnson, who if selected, will be facing the side he signed from earlier this month in a deal that saw Dwight McNeil go the other way.
There is change in the Palace dugout with Pierre Sage replacing UEFA Conference League and FA Cup-winning boss Oliver Glasner.
But David Moyes remains in charge of Everton and he will be hoping his side can get one over the Eagles once again.
Joe Thomas and Chris Beesley are at Hill Dickinson Stadium to bring you all the build-up to the opener, including team news when it drops, followed by an in-game commentary stream and the best post-match reaction and analysis.
