Opened 2025
Everton's new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock opened in 2025 after decades of planning and debate, ending the club's 132-year association with Goodison Park. Built on a regenerated stretch of Liverpool's north docklands beside the River Mersey, the 52,000-capacity ground is the first new top-flight stadium in England since the Emirates opened in 2006. Its striking industrial design, referencing the dockland heritage of the site, has already attracted attention as one of the most dramatic new football arenas in Europe.
