Everton have provided an update to supporters regarding the upcoming new stadium on Bramley-Moore Dock.
Construction is well and truly taking shape, with the Toffees set to make the venue their home in 2024-25. Work has been ongoing since 2021 and the stunning exterior already gives fans a glimpse of what to expect.
The new ground promises to propel the Blues into the modern game as a 52,888 capacity will become the seventh highest in the Premier League.

A statement and video on Everton’s website informed supporters about the latest developments at Bramley-Moore Dock, with footage showing the interior of the stadium starting to take shape. The update read: “The interior of the west stand at Everton Stadium continues to evolve, with the myriad of spacious rooms, corridors and concourses taking shape on all three levels.
“Spaces for dressing rooms and media interview booths have started to become visible on the ground floor as well as bars, restaurants and lounges on other floors that will form part of the club’s ALL experiences.
“Pitchside, a series of cantilevering trusses, each up to 60 metres long, are being assembled with the first one freshly installed. These trusses will link up with the barrel roof sections and form the steel canopy that extends and spans over the top of the seating.”
The development will also see a Fan Plaza built to accommodate pre-match entertainment and bars. Construction has resulted in the famous Victorian-era hydraulic tower at Bramley-Moore Dock being renovated and incorporated as part of the setup.
“Preparatory work also continues adjacent to the east stand as the cranes gear up to hoist the first of the roof barrel sections,” the statement added. “These will mirror the process just completed in the west stand and eventually complete the shape of the roof structure on all four sides.
“A temporary staircase has been installed to the roof in the north stand to allow roofers to commence the permanent roof coverings.
“Externally, scaffolding has been stripped back further on the historic Hydraulic Tower, showing off the painstaking renovations for the first time on a feature that will form an integral part of the Fan Plaza.”
