Everton Confirm Further 2026 Pre-Season Fixtures

Evertonians will have the chance to follow the Blues across England, Scotland and Germany this summer as the Club confirms further fixtures in its 2026 pre-season schedule.

David Moyes’ side will face Dundee FC, Bolton Wanderers, Stoke City and VfB Stuttgart as part of preparations for the 2026/27 Premier League campaign.

The fixtures sit alongside Everton’s already-announced meeting with Newcastle United at Scottish Gas Murrayfield on Wednesday 12 August.

Another away match against German opposition, which will be a landmark Men’s and Women’s double-header, and a home pre-season fixture at Hill Dickinson Stadium, are also set to be announced.

The Blues will begin their summer programme in Scotland, facing Scottish Premiership club Dundee FC at Dens Park on Saturday 18 July, kick-off 2pm BST.

The trip will see Everton return to the home of the Dark Blues for the first time since July 2015, when they secured a 2-0 win in a pre-season friendly.

Everton will then travel to the Toughsheet Community Stadium to face newly-promoted Championship side Bolton Wanderers on Saturday 25 July, kick-off 3pm BST.

The fixture will see a couple of familiar faces in the opposition dugout, with Bolton managed by former Everton Academy graduate Steven Schumacher and assisted by Mark Hughes, who came through the Club’s youth ranks before making three senior appearances for the Blues under Moyes.

Three days later, Everton will continue their preparations with a trip to the bet365 Stadium to face Stoke City on Tuesday 28 July, kick-off 7.45pm BST.

The Club will then head to Germany for two fixtures, organised by Onside Sports, culminating in the match against VfB Stuttgart at the MHP Arena on Saturday 8 August, kick-off 5pm CEST/4pm BST.

Everton’s visit will take the Blues to one of European football’s landmark venues. The MHP Arena is one of the few stadiums to have hosted matches at multiple FIFA World Cups, multiple European Championships and European club finals.

Everton’s previously-announced fixture against Newcastle United at Scottish Gas Murrayfield will take place on Wednesday 12 August, kick-off 5.15pm BST. The all-Premier League clash in the Scottish capital will mark both clubs’ first visit to the iconic 101-year-old stadium and promises to be one of the standout pre-season fixtures in the UK this summer.

Tickets for Everton’s fixture against Newcastle United are now on general sale via Ticketmaster. Tickets start from £35 for adults and £17 for under-16s, plus booking fees.

A home pre-season fixture at Hill Dickinson Stadium will be confirmed next week, adding to Everton’s preparations ahead of the 2026/27 Premier League campaign.

Further ticket updates and qualifying criteria for Everton’s pre-season fixtures, including the matches in Germany, will be provided on evertonfc.com and across the Club’s official social media channels in due course.

Further details on Everton Women’s pre-season schedule will also be confirmed ahead of the new Barclays WSL campaign in September.

Live streams of pre-season fixtures will be available where rights and regulations allow, subject to availability and territorial restrictions.
