Everton can confirm the official capacity of Hill Dickinson Stadium for Premier League fixtures and sporting events will be 52,769.
The initial designated capacity of 52,888, proposed as part of the final design created five years ago, has been reduced slightly following a thorough post-construction audit and review of the seating configuration across the stadium in readiness for the new season.
Factors such as segregation lines between the home and away section and the compliance and provision for media facilities and camera positions have played a part in the original maximum capacity being reduced by 0.2% (119 seats).
No seats purchased as Season Tickets have been affected by this slight reduction in capacity.
Hill Dickinson Stadium will officially open later this summer, when Everton host Brighton and Hove Albion in the Club’s opening Premier League home game of the 2025/26 campaign, on Saturday 23 August.
Before then, the Blues will host AS Roma in a pre-season friendly on Saturday 9 August (3pm KO), which will double as the Club’s third and final test event, in front of what is expected to be a capacity crowd.
