Everton open their 2026/27 Premier League season at home against Crystal Palace on Saturday, August 22, with David Moyes welcoming the Eagles to Hill Dickinson Stadium in Liverpool.

Moyes begins his tenure at Everton with a fixture that carries genuine significance for both clubs. The Toffees will be eager to set the tone in front of their own supporters, while Crystal Palace arrive with plenty of their own momentum and ambition under new head coach Pierre Sage.

Sage takes charge of Palace in the top flight for the first time, having inherited a squad with real quality in key areas. The Frenchman has already made his mark in the transfer window, and his side travel to Merseyside with a clear identity to establish.

The transfer window has not been quiet around Selhurst Park. Palace have firmly rejected an approach from Manchester City for midfielder Adam Wharton, with Sage making clear the England international is not available this summer. The club are also closing in on Chelsea centre-back Axel Disasi on a season-long loan, reinforcing a defensive unit that will need to be compact and organised from the first whistle.

Everton, for their part, have been active too. The club remain in dialogue over a potential move for Jack Grealish, with chief executive Angus Kinnear confirming contact with the Manchester City winger. Whether that deal materialises before the window closes remains to be seen, but the Toffees head into their opening fixture with a settled enough squad to compete.

Both sides head into the match off the back of pre-season campaigns that offered mixed results, and neither will have a definitive read on where they stand until competitive football begins in earnest.
