Everton supporters finally know the road that lies ahead following the release of the 2026/27 Premier League fixture list.

Jordan Pickford may not have attracted the same attention as Harry Kane or Jude Bellingham in England’s 4-2 victory over Croatia, but the Everton goalkeeper played a key role in ensuring Thomas Tuchel’s side opened their World Cup campaign with three points.
