Everton have announced that their new stadium will be called the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
The Toffees will bid farewell to a memorable era lasting 133 years at Goodison Park when they take on Southampton in the Premier League in the final men’s game at the iconic Merseyside ground on Sunday afternoon.
A fresh start at a new home awaits David Moyes and co who will soon move into the new 52,888 capacity stadium built on Bramley-Moore Docks, which will officially open in August.
Everton have now confirmed Hill Dickinson as the official naming rights partner for the new stadium after striking a long-term agreement with the international law firm founded in 1810 with origins in Liverpool.
The deal agreed with Hill Dickinson is said to represent one of the largest football stadium naming rights deals in Europe as part of a “transformational partnership” with the Merseyside club.
“It brings together two Liverpool institutions, united by a global outlook, a deep commitment to the city of Liverpool, and a shared history that dates back to the very founding of Everton in 1878,” a statement released on Everton’s official website read.
Global vision. Local pride.

Everton’s new home – Hill Dickinson Stadium
“Hill Dickinson’s international growth has been underpinned by the hallmarks that also define Everton – with both organisations striving for excellence, supporting their local communities and delivering long-term positive impacts.
“Set to officially open in August this year, the 52,888-capacity Hill Dickinson Stadium will be a new home for Evertonians and a year-round destination for major sport, music, entertainment, business and cultural events.
“As the centrepiece of the wider regeneration of North Liverpool, Hill Dickinson Stadium will deliver thousands of jobs, attract significant inward investment, and serve as a catalyst for long-term social and economic growth in the city.”
Angus Kinnear, Everton’s Chief Executive Officer, said: ”Welcoming Hill Dickinson as our naming rights partner is a bold and strategic step forward. This partnership goes beyond branding – it’s a shared commitment to progress, excellence and the regeneration of our city. Hill Dickinson Stadium will stand as a symbol of Everton’s ambitions, our values, and the global future we are building together.
“The naming rights agreement with Hill Dickinson will create a shared legacy that extends beyond matchdays. Hill Dickinson will work closely with Everton in the Community, helping to amplify the reach and impact of the club’s award-winning charitable programmes and its own Hill Dickinson Foundation across Merseyside and beyond.”

Craig Scott, Chief Executive Officer of Hill Dickinson, added: ”To put our name to Everton’s new stadium is a once-in-a-generation opportunity We believe deeply in what this project stands for – a bold, transformational vision for Liverpool and its future.
“This partnership is about legacy, ambition, and the power of two globally recognised organisations coming together to make a difference.
“As Hill Dickinson continues to grow internationally, we remain proud of our Liverpool roots – and we are honoured to be part of one of the most exciting waterfront developments in Europe.”
Everton have said that further announcements about Hill Dickinson Stadium will be made in due course, including “partnership community programmes, commercial activations and milestone moments” leading up to its official opening.
Sharing his thoughts on Everton’s final Goodison Park game and the move to Hill Dickinson Stadium, Moyes told reporters on Friday: “I think all Evertonians have been sort of waiting for this moment for a long time, because the something that everyone has been looking forward to is the new stadium.
Moyes: ‘We think new stadium will give us a bigger and better future’
“It will be a sad day, I think it will be an emotional day for a lot of people. I’ve got to keep the players focused on the game and try to do the best we can in the game.”
“There are a lot of people who are probably wiser and a bit more knowledgeable about Everton and about Goodison than I am, but we’ve had a lot of talk about it just now, great history, great stories,” he said.
“Obviously there have been great managers and players who have all performed here. I’m just the one that’s going to shut the door on the way out, certainly on the way out for the men. We’re looking forward to the ladies joining us.
“It will be sad when it goes, but we’re moving into something which we think will give us a bigger and better future.”
Everton will endeavour to claim their 10th Premier League victory of the season against basement club Southampton, which would secure a 13th-placed finish in the table.
