Goodison Park is a football stadium in Walton, Liverpool, England, that has been the home of Premier League club Everton since 1892. It is 2 miles (3 km) north of the city centre, and has an all-seated capacity of 39,414.^[1]

Goodison Park has hosted more top-flight games than any other stadium in England.^[2] 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 its new 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 will be demolished and the site redeveloped.
