Everton will begin their 2026-27 Premier League campaign at home against Crystal Palace on Saturday at Hill Dickinson Stadium. The match marks the opening weekend of the league season and represents new Crystal Palace manager Pierre Sage’s first competitive fixture in charge of the Eagles. Everton’s squad features established players including Rohl, George, and Barry in the starting lineup, though the team faces injury concerns with three midfielders unavailable or questionable for selection.
Crystal Palace arrives at Merseyside following their recent success in European competition, though the club will be without winger Ismaila Sarr, who is currently pursuing a transfer away from the club. Sage, who recently led RC Lens to a strong French league finish and a domestic cup triumph before earning Manager of the Year honors in France, has implemented several new signings for the Eagles. Goalkeeper Dean Henderson’s availability remains uncertain after sustaining an injury during preseason preparation.
The fixture will be broadcast on USA Network and UNIVERSO in the United States, with kickoff scheduled for 7:00 a.m. PT on Saturday, August 22nd. Multiple streaming options are available across various platforms and regions. Everton maintains an impressive recent record against Crystal Palace, having gone undefeated in their last 11 matchups, though their previous meeting ended in a 2-2 draw.
