Unlike other professional sports throughout the world (I'm looking at you, NFL), the Premier League is rather nonchalant in how it releases its fixture list for the upcoming season.
There is some build-up, mostly through social media, but then you wake up the morning of the release, and there they are.
In some ways, it makes sense, considering the concept of the schedule isn't terribly complicated. Every club plays every other club home and away, with some midweek games tossed into the mix on occasion.
The other thing is that the list isn't set in stone, as European competitions and cup matches can impact league games down the line, so there's always a sense of fluidity, especially in the latter part of the season.
All that said, Everton's 2026/27 schedule, as of this moment, looks a little something like this:

Analysis of Everton's 2026/27 fixtures
A few things jump out at you right away when looking at the fixture list.
Everton will play host on Matchday 1 for the first time at Hill Dickinson Stadium, which will enter its second season as the home of the Toffees in August. Crystal Palace will visit Merseyside for the opening weekend after a season where they finished two places behind Everton in the table.
August and September, which feature just five matches between them, are reasonably kind to Everton in terms of travel, with three of the five being played at home, although the other two matches are longer trips to Bournemouth and London to face Spurs.
October is the reverse, with only one match at Hill Dickinson, hosting Chelsea, on the 17th of the month. Everton will also see newly promoted sides in successive matches at the end of September (Ipswich on 9/19) and early October (Hull City on 10/10), albeit with an international break in between.
The first Merseyside Derby of the campaign will take place in late November, with the Reds making the cross-town trek on the 28th. That leads into a busy December and January that sees the Blues playing eleven matches, with one more coming away from home, including the reverse Merseyside Derby to close out the stretch.
That run from late November to end of January will be key to Everton's success on the season, as the fixtures come fast and the club will need to show its resilience.
February through April are much lighter by comparison, with an international break baked in after a March 20 clash against Spurs at home.
But the season ends with a busy May, five matches in all with just two at home, with the final day being played on May 30, a trip to Ipswich Town to face the Tractor Boys, in a match many will hope won't matter much.
There's still plenty of time and plenty of work to do for Everton this summer, but now we know who they'll face when the campaign kicks off in late August.
