Goodison Park is a football stadium in Walton, Liverpool, England, it was the home of Premier League club Everton from 1892 until 2025. It is now the home of Everton's women's team. It is 2 miles (3 km) north of the city centre, and has an all-seated capacity of 39,414.
Goodison Park has hosted more top-flight games than any other stadium in England. It has also been the venue for an FA Cup Final and numerous international fixtures, including a semi-final match in the 1966 World Cup.
Initially, Everton planned to relocate to Everton Stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock in 2024, but the club now has decided to leave its home at the end of the 2024–25 season, after which Goodison Park was intended to be demolished. However, following Everton's 2024 takeover, the new owners said the stadium would be "preserved for community use" and a feasibility study was commissioned to determine if the stadium could host the club's women's team. On 13 May 2025, Everton announced that Goodison Park will be the permanent home of their women's team from the 2025–26 season, making the stadium the largest dedicated women's football stadium in the UK.
