Everton have confirmed their opening pre-season friendlies as David Moyes’ side prepare for the 2025/26 campaign. The Blues will play two fixtures in the UK before flying off the United States for Premier League Summer Series.
The Toffees’ pre-season will begin with a clash against League Two outfit Accrington Stanley. The match will take place at the Wham Stadium on 15 July (7:45 pm BST). It will be followed by the Blues taking on Blackburn Rovers who narrowly missed out on Championship play-offs last month. The friendly has been scheduled for 19 July (3:00 pm BST).
Ticket details for both friendlies and information on live streams via evertonfc.com will be announced soon.
The games against Accrington Stanley and Blackburn Rovers will be followed by the Premier League Summer Series on US soil where the Blues will face Bournemouth, West Ham and Manchester United.
The US tour will begin with Everton taking on Andoni Iraola’s Bournemouth at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on 26 July. Moyes will then face his former side West Ham United at the Soldier Field in Chicago just four days later. The Summer Series comes to an end with the Blues taking on Manchester United, led by Ruben Amorim, at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia on 3 August.
Everton will also play another pre-season friendly after returning from the United States but the details surrounding the fixture, including the opponent, are yet to be confirmed.
