Congratulations, that is your club

Welcome to Everton. You are Toffees now, if you want to be.

Nothing is binding here and nobody is checking. Plenty of people follow more than one club, and plenty change their mind in the first season. Everything below is what to know as you start.

Everton

England · Liverpool · Goodison Park

One of English football’s founding clubs, with a deeply working-class Liverpool identity and a recent history of struggle that its supporters have absorbed without leaving.

Last season

Everton finished 13th in the Premier League with 49 points from 38 matches: 13 won, 10 drawn, 15 lost. That is mid-table: not chasing Europe, not in danger of relegation. That is the 2025-26 season; 2026-27 has only just kicked off.

What to know before you follow them

Everton have spent recent seasons fighting relegation and had points deducted for financial breaches. Supporting them is currently an exercise in loyalty rather than reward.

What people sing

  • Z-Cars theme

    The walkout music that still marks an Everton home game. Older supporters treat it as part of the ritual.

  • It's a Grand Old Team

    A terrace favourite. Easy to join once you have heard the chorus twice.

Who the rivals are

  • Liverpool

    The Merseyside derby. Families split down the middle, which makes it sharper and more personal than most.

Following them from America

Smaller than Liverpool's American footprint, but stubborn, especially in cities with strong Merseyside ties.
