The Everton vs Crystal Palace match will be the league season opener for both sides.
Everton are scheduled to face Crystal Palace in a Matchday 1 fixture of the English Premier League 2026-27 at the Hill Dickinson Stadium in Liverpool on Saturday, August 22, 2026. This match will mark the first match of the new season for both sides.
David Moyes is one of the 11 head coaches who remained in their jobs at the start of the season, and the Scot will look to build upon a solid campaign last season. The Toffees finished in a respectable 13th place, a solid performance following two seasons of a relegation battle.
New captain James Tarkowski will lead the hosts tonight, although new signing Christian Norgaard is out with a muscle injury. Meanwhile, Brennan Johnson, who joined from Crystal Palace, is in line to feature against his old club.
Crystal Palace, under new head coach Pierre Sage, will look to win their league opener for the first time in over a decade. The Eagles have also won only once in their last 23 top-flight meetings against Everton, which means the visitors will be the heavy underdogs tonight.
