Key Updates Shared At FAB Meeting

Members of Everton’s Fan Advisory Board (FAB) met Club executives in December for their final meeting of 2025, focusing on key topics including the new Premier League financial framework and planning for Seasonal Memberships for the 2026/27 campaign.

Martyn Hawkins, Everton’s Chief Financial Officer met the FAB for the first time and provided an update on the Premier League’s new financial regulations, which will come into effect from the 2026/27 season. Both Martyn and Chief Executive Angus Kinnear outlined how the new rules will operate, and reaffirmed that commercial growth and revenue generation across the business will remain a key focus for Everton in the years ahead.

The Everton CEO also gave a year-to-date update across the Men’s Senior Team, Everton Women and the Academy. Recruitment strategy, player development pathways and on-pitch progress were discussed, alongside the continued importance of sustainable long-term planning. 

Members also heard that further news on investment into Everton Women was imminent [since confirmed], and that the move to Goodison Park has delivered a significant uplift in attendances.

The FAB also received updates on Hill Dickinson Stadium, including ongoing improvements based on supporter feedback following the first four months of operation and growing interest in hosting additional sporting and entertainment events. The Club confirmed it expects to announce record commercial revenues this year, with the new stadium playing a major role in attracting new partners and sponsors.

Planning for Seasonal Memberships for the 2026/27 season was also discussed, with FAB members learning more about the supporter survey feedback from the Club’s first season at Hill Dickinson Stadium and how it will help to shape future decisions. 

A presentation from Everton’s Insight team showed how fans highlighted a range of positives alongside areas for improvement, while Season Ticket renewal intentions were reported as overwhelmingly strong. 

The Club also outlined plans to move to a more standard Premier League Season Ticket renewal window, running from March to late April or early May 2026. Further details on pricing and the renewal process will be confirmed in due course.

The meeting concluded with thanks to FAB members for their contribution throughout the year, with the Club and FAB set to meet again at the end of February 2026.
