Everton Women at Goodison: A Fan's Guide to WSL Football at the Old Ground

A women's football match under way in an old English stadium with traditional stands and a Sunday afternoon crowd

Goodison Park has not gone quiet. Everton Women play their Women’s Super League home games at the old ground, with single tickets at £12 for adults and £6 for under-18s for recent fixtures, and season tickets for 2026/27 at £115 for adults and £57.50 for under-18s. If you have missed the place since the men moved to Bramley-Moore Dock, a WSL Sunday is the cheapest and easiest way to sit in the Gwladys Street or the Park End again and watch top-flight football.

What the season ticket gets you

Everton put 2026/27 season tickets on general sale in June. The package covers every home WSL match and all domestic cup games played at Goodison. With the WSL expanding to 14 teams this season, there are two extra home league fixtures compared with last year, which makes the season ticket better value than before.

The club highlighted home games against Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United and the reigning champions Manchester City. Member benefits listed by Everton include open training sessions and other member events, Forever Blue Rewards, prize draws and discounts on Everton Soccer Schools and stadium tours.

You can buy online through the club’s ticketing site, by phoning the Everton Fan Centre on 0151 556 1878, or in person at the ticket office at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

Single-match tickets and a typical matchday

Everton’s match guide for the Aston Villa game in late October gives a good picture of what a WSL Sunday at Goodison looks like:

  • Kick-off: 2pm on that occasion; check each fixture, as times vary.
  • Tickets: £12 adults, £6 under-18s, bought online, by phone, at the Hill Dickinson South Stand ticket office, or on the day at the Park End ticket office, which opens 90 minutes before kick-off.
  • Food and atmosphere: live music on the Park End and Gwladys Street concourses, and free face painting for children.
  • Families: a buggy park at the corner of the Park End and Bullens Road, entered from Goodison Road, opening an hour before kick-off. Spaces are free and can be booked in advance.
  • Hospitality: lounge options are available if you want to make an occasion of it.

Parking, and the Anfield clash

This is the bit regulars learn the hard way. When Liverpool are at home on the same day, the Stanley Park car park is not available for Everton Women’s games. For the Villa match, the club pointed supporters to The Blue Base and Gwladys Street Primary and Nursery School instead. Before any game, check whether Liverpool are at Anfield the same day and read Everton’s match guide for that fixture.

The same clash affects the streets around both grounds. If you can walk or take the bus, do. Our Stanley Park walk shows how close the two grounds are; on a day when both are in use, the park paths are often quicker than any car.

Why it is worth going

The ground itself

For many Evertonians the move to the waterfront brought mixed feelings, which we tried to put into words in Goodison Memories and the Move to the Waterfront. The women’s team playing at Goodison means the old place is still a working football ground, with Blues in the stands on a Sunday. That alone is a reason to go.

The price

Twelve pounds for an adult and six for a child is a fraction of what a men’s Premier League ticket costs. For a family of four, a WSL match is the most affordable way to see top-flight football live on Merseyside this winter.

The football

The WSL has some of the best players in the world, and the gap between the top clubs and the rest is a real storyline. Games against the big sides are a test; games against teams around Everton in the table are often tight and open.

The derby

Everton Women v Liverpool Women is one of the fixtures the club flagged for this season. A women’s derby at Goodison has a flavour all of its own, with plenty of families who split red and blue at home. The household arguments we described in Derby Day apply just as much here.

Practical tips for a first visit

  • Check the weather. The Villa match guide warned fans to dress for strong winds during Storm Boelo. Goodison’s stands give decent shelter, but a cold Sunday is still cold.
  • Turn up early with children. The face painting and music start before kick-off, and the buggy park opens an hour before.
  • Bring a card. Pay as you would at any modern football ground.
  • Watch the fixture list. WSL fixtures can move for television or cup commitments, so confirm the date in the week of the game.

Getting there without a car

Goodison sits in the same streets it always has, so the old routes still work. Buses from the city centre run up towards Walton and Anfield, and the walk from the city across Everton Valley takes the best part of an hour if you are feeling energetic. On a day when Liverpool are also at home, expect busier buses and road closures around both grounds, and give yourself extra time. If you are coming from the north, the matchday shuttle buses and trains from Bootle are planned around first-team games at the men’s grounds, so check whether they apply to a women’s fixture before relying on them.

Thinking about Christmas?

A match ticket for an Everton Women game is a cheap and thoughtful present for a young Blue, and the season ticket includes discounts on tours of the Hill Dickinson if you want to pair the two. We compared the tours at both of the city’s clubs in our stadium tours gift guide.

The verdict: Twelve pounds for top-flight football at Goodison is the best-value afternoon on Merseyside. Go for the football, stay for the old ground, and take a child who has never been: it is how the next generation of Evertonians gets made.
