Legends Fixture Added To Everton v AS Roma Day

The first Men’s Senior Team fixture at Everton's new Hill Dickinson Stadium has become a historic double-header, with confirmation that a Legends game will follow the pre-season meeting between the Blues and Italian giants AS Roma on Saturday 9 August. 

On a landmark day of celebration at the Club's new waterfront home, David Moyes' team will take on Serie A counterparts Roma in their final Premier League warm-up fixture (kick-off 3pm BST), before the Legends dust off their boots to mark the opening of the 52,769-capacity stadium (kick-off 5.15pm BST).

Former Everton captain Phil Jagielka and Vincent Candela, a stalwart for Roma and the France national team, are the first two names to be confirmed for what promises to be a compelling Legends clash. The full star-studded line-ups – and special-guest managers for both sides – will be announced in the coming weeks.

Tickets for the pre-season friendly against Roma, which will give supporters entry to both matches, are set to go on sale to Season Ticket Members from 10am on Monday (30 June), priced at £25 for Adults, £20 for Over-65s and £10 for Under-18s.

Forever Blue+ Members will be able to purchase from 10am on Monday 7 July for the same price, with the priority window for Forever Blue Members to open 48 hours later, on Wednesday 9 July. A general sale will begin on Thursday 10 July, with tickets priced at £30 for Adults, £25 for Over-65s and still just £10 for Under-18s*.   

Supporters will be invited to make the most of an occasion that will officially signal Everton’s move to a new home, with Hill Dickinson Stadium's Plaza to open from 12pm (midday). Fans will have the chance to fully explore their new surroundings, enjoy live entertainment, and sample a wide variety of food and beverage options across The Plaza and within the concourses, which will open from 1pm.

The double-header will also mark the first opportunity for Season Ticket Members to sit in their selected 2025/26 Season Ticket seats, making it an opportunity not to be missed for thousands of Blues.

Premium Members across Hill Dickinson Stadium’s Bars, Restaurants and Experiences have been contacted directly regarding exclusive purchase opportunities for their seats at this fixture. 

Once on sale, tickets will be available online or by calling the Everton Fan Centre on 0151 556 1878.
