Everton’s new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock is set to host five games at the UEFA European Championships 2028. Four of those games will be group stage encounters while a round of 16 clash will also be held at the Toffees’ new waterfront home.
Hill Dickinson Stadium - to be called Everton Stadium during the tournament due to a ban on sponsors’ names - was lit up to mimic the blue and violet colours of the host venue logo as the latter was revealed on the stadium’s screens on Wednesday.
The city's official tournament logo could also be seen emblazoned on historic landmarks, including the Cunard Building and the Royal Albert Dock, while the Royal Liver Building was illuminated to celebrate the launch.
“This is a proud moment for Everton and for our new waterfront home. Our stadium was designed to host the biggest moments in sport, and to see it formally part of the venue schedule for UEFA EURO 2028 is a landmark in the club’s history,” said Everton CEO Angus Kinnear, who took charge of the club this summer.
"The tournament will showcase the best of our city and our new stadium to millions of people around the world. It will also deliver a significant economic boost for Liverpool City Region, bringing new visitors, new spend and new profile to the waterfront and the wider economy.
“We look forward to working closely with UEFA, UK & Ireland 2028, the City Region and our partners to deliver an unforgettable experience for supporters and for football.”
The group stage matches at Everton Stadium will take place on Sunday, June 11, 2028 (Group D team 3 v Group D team 4); Wednesday, June 14, 2028 (Group A team 2 v Group A team 4); Saturday, June 17, 2028 (Group E team 2 v Group E team 4) and Tuesday, June 20, 2028 (Group C team 2 v Group C team 3). Meanwhile, the round of 16 clash has been scheduled on Saturday, June 24, 2028.
The five fixtures at Everton Stadium are expected to deliver a multi-million pound economic boost to the region as 24 nations compete in the tournament between June 9 and July 9, 2028.
UEFA has promised that more than three million match tickets will be available for supporters throughout the tournament – at matches held across England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland.
Kick-off times for all tournament fixtures will be announced following the main draw, which will be held in December 2027.
