Everton announces two test events at Everton Stadium

Time is running out for Evertonians to enter ballots for the first two test events at Everton Stadium, with the Club having announced details of the events last week and opened the ballots on Friday 3 January.

The first test event – an Everton Under-18s friendly fixture – will be held on Monday 17 February (7pm kick-off GMT) in front of a capacity of 10,000 spectators.

The Club’s Under-21s will play a friendly for the second test event in late March or early April, when the capacity will be increased to 25,000*.

A third test event will be held later in the current season, details of which will be confirmed in due course.

The restricted capacities for the events are a requirement of the testing process that will allow the Club to obtain the necessary licence and safety certificates to operate the stadium at full capacity from when it officially opens ahead of the 2025/26 season.

Eligible supporters have been emailed their link to enter the ballots, which will remain open until 11.59pm on Friday 10 January. Eligible supporters are:

– Existing Season Ticket Members
– Existing Goodison Park Hospitality Members
– Supporters who have committed to a 2025/26 Premium Bars, Restaurants and Experiences Membership
