In a landmark agreement that ushers in a new era for Everton Football Club, the renowned English Premier League (PL) team has announced a long-term stadium naming rights partnership with the leading international law firm, Hill Dickinson.
The club’s cutting-edge new home at Bramley-Moore Dock will officially be known as the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
This monumental collaboration, hailed by Everton as one of Europe’s most significant stadium naming rights deals, marks a pivotal moment as the club prepares to embark on an exciting new chapter in its storied history.
Set to officially open in August 2025 for the start of the 2025-26 Premier League season, the 52,888-capacity Hill Dickinson Stadium will be more than just the spiritual home for Evertonians. It’s envisioned as a premier year-round destination, poised to host major sports, music, entertainment, business, and cultural events. Its development is a cornerstone of the wider regeneration efforts in North Liverpool, expected to create thousands of jobs and attract substantial inward investment.
Speaking on the occasion, Angus Kinnear, Chief Executive Officer of Everton, 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.”
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.”
A significant facet of the agreement involves a dedicated collaboration with Everton in the Community, the club’s award-winning charitable arm. Hill Dickinson will work closely with the charity to significantly amplify the reach and impact of its programs and the Hill Dickinson Foundation across Merseyside and beyond, reinforcing both organizations’ commitment to social responsibility.
This naming rights announcement culminates a nearly three-year search for a stadium partner, following the suspension of a prior agreement with USM in March 2022. The Hill Dickinson Stadium is also slated to be a host venue for UEFA Euro 2028 and will stage a Rugby League Ashes match in November, further solidifying its status as a world-class, multi-purpose arena.
Everton’s men’s team will play their final match at their historic home, Goodison Park, on May 18, 2025, bringing an end to 133 years of football at the iconic venue. The club’s women’s team will transition to make Goodison Park their permanent home from the start of the next campaign. The move to the Hill Dickinson Stadium truly signifies a new era of growth and ambition for Everton Football Club.
