- Everton wrapped up their first season at new stadium with 23 home points.
- The 2025/26 home record ranks as the fifth-worst in Everton’s entire history.
- Despite the world-class facilities, the team actually regressed at home.
Moving from the historic, soul-stirring confines of Goodison Park to a brand-new, state-of-the-art waterfront stadium should have heralded a bright new era for Everton Football Club.
Instead, the 2025/26 campaign starkly illustrates that a change of scenery does not cure fundamental on-pitch issues.
By finishing the season with just 6 wins, 5 draws, and 8 losses across 19 home games, Everton managed a meagre 23 points, averaging a dismal 1.21 points per game (PPG). This disappointing return firmly roots the inaugural season at Hill Dickinson among the ten worst home league records in the club’s entire history.
When we place the 2025/26 season under the microscope against Everton’s historical low points, several troubling trends emerge.
Modern trend of Everton’s home vulnerability
As the data from EFC Statto illustrates, Everton’s worst-ever home records cluster heavily within the modern era. Out of the ten worst home seasons in club history, four occurred in the last six years alone (2020/21, 2022/23, 2024/25, and 2025/26).
Everton: Worst home league records in club history (adjusted to 3 points for a win)
| Season | Games | Wins | Draws | Losses | Points | PPG |
| 2022/23 | 19 | 6 | 3 | 10 | 21 | 1.11 |
| 1957/58 | 21 | 5 | 9 | 7 | 24 | 1.14 |
| 2020/21 | 19 | 6 | 4 | 9 | 22 | 1.16 |
| 1929/30 | 21 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 25 | 1.19 |
| 2015/16 | 19 | 6 | 5 | 8 | 23 | 1.21 |
| 2025/26 (New Stadium) | 19 | 6 | 5 | 8 | 23 | 1.21 |
| 1949/50 | 21 | 6 | 8 | 7 | 26 | 1.24 |
| 1950/51 | 21 | 7 | 5 | 9 | 26 | 1.24 |
| 2024/25 (Goodison Final) | 19 | 5 | 9 | 5 | 24 | 1.26 |
| 1992/93 | 21 | 7 | 6 | 8 | 27 | 1.29 |
Shaking the Goodison ghosts at Hill Dickinson
The data highlights an uncomfortable truth: the new ground has inherited the exact same frailties that plagued the final years at Goodison Park. The 2025/26 campaign nests uncomfortably amongst recent, dismal home form:
- The nadir (2022/23): Everton’s worst-ever home return remains the 2022/23 season, where the team suffered 10 home losses and scraped together just 21 points (1.11 PPG).
- Final season at Goodison (2024/25): The farewell season at the Grand Old Lady yielded only 24 points at 1.26 PPG.
While fans hoped the stadium move would provide an immediate competitive lift, the 2025/26 metrics actually represent a slight regression in PPG (1.21) compared to the final year at Goodison (1.26). The new stadium may boast world-class facilities, but the squad managed one fewer point than they did during their emotional goodbye to their old home.
Summary: Stark reminder for the Blues
Ultimately, Everton’s 2025/26 home record proves that bricks, mortar, and stunning architecture do not win football matches.
For the new ground to truly become a fortress, the club must fix the foundational issues on the pitch. Only then can future generations measure Everton seasons against the club’s illustrious highs rather than its historic lows.
