Everton have confirmed an additional four fixtures have been added to the club's 2026 pre-season schedule.

T he Toffees will travel to Scotland for their opening fixture of the summer, with David Moyes' men set to face Dundee FC at Dens Park on Saturday 18 July.

Everton will then take on Bolton Wanderers a week later, visiting the ToughSheet Community Stadium on Saturday 25 July. Bolton, under the management of ex-Everton academy product Steven Schumacher, were promoted to the Championship last season after beating Stockport County in the League One play-off final.

Just three days later, Everton make the short trip to Stoke City (Tuesday 28 July), before heading to Germany to step up their preparations. The Blues will take on Champions League qualifiers VfB Stuttgart at the MHP Arena on Saturday 8 August.

The squad will return to the UK to face Newcastle United in a previously announced friendly at Edinburgh's Murrayfield on Wednesday 12 August.

The 2026-27 Premier League season will begin on the weekend of 22-23 August, with the full fixture list to be released this Friday.

My gawd... does anyone realise how fucken knackered they are gonna be, with all these unnecessary games on top of Moyes's mad pre-season training regime?

It's gonna be a catastrophe.

Birmingham have announced a home friendly against Barcelona, meanwhile the Imagination Genius's at Everton will arrange Roma again lol.

Our pre season is always half baked anyway, couple of North West games, a trip to Scotland to play someone who isn't Celtic or Rangers lol.

The Stuttgart game in Germany looks decent enough.

If Ndiaye gets his way. Davey Moyes will not be selecting the team he plays for.

Can't Dundee or Stoke take Moyes off our hands. That's his level.

Never understand especially with Moyes being the gaffer why we rarely ever go to Celtic?

The fixtures are out tomorrow and I haven't seen one rumour stolen off social media of alleged fixtures that show us playing Forest 3 times or Newcastle 4 times at home.

People are slipping.

If Ndiaye ends up at PSG, then make a friendly at Bramley-Moore Dock one of the conditions. Imagine that PSG team turning up at our place. It's the only way it's going to happen.

If we play Roma, surely it will be at their place for once.

As for the first 3 fixtures of the 2026-27 Season, I'm going for Coventry away, followed by Brentford and Aston Villa at home.
