StadiumGoodison Park, Liverpool

The 2025–26 Everton F.C. (women) season is the club's ninth consecutive campaign in the Women's Super League, the highest level of the football pyramid. Along with competing in the WSL, the club will also contest two domestic cup competitions: the FA Cup and the League Cup.

This would be the club's first season at Goodison Park, moving from Walton Hall Park after the men's team moved from Goodison Park to Hill Dickinson Stadium.[1]

Everton renewed one year contracts with Lucy Hope and Aurora Galli,[2] whilst Kelly Gago signed a new three year contract with the club.[3]

On 29 July 2025, Everton sold the women's team to parent company Roundhouse Capital Holdings, allowing the women's team to gain minority investment.[4]
