Everton vs Lille: How to watch as the Blues return to Hill Dickinson Stadium

Everton face Lille in their final pre-season friendly on Saturday.

The Blues will entertain supporters at the Hill Dickinson Stadium for the first-time in pre-season when they face the French side.

David Moyes' side have had a mixed preparation so far, with three wins, two losses and a draw.

They started with a 4-0 win over Dundee, followed with a 0-0 draw against Bolton Wanderers, before a 1-0 loss to Stoke City.

August brought a 2-1 win over Hamburg and a 3-1 loss to Stuttgart before a reverse of that result against Newcastle last time out.

Here, Goodison News shares how supporters can watch the contest with the Ligue 1 outfit.

How can supporters watch Everton's clash with Lille?

Everton will kick off their last pre-season encounter at 3 pm (BST) on 15 August, so it will be at a time that supporters are used to.

Fans who are not attending the game live, can watch along via Everton TV, the club's official channel.

They can buy a one-game pass for £5.99 if they would like to watch the contest with Champions League opposition.

There is not mention of the bundles that had previously been in place as the Merseysiders announced streaming details.

The Toffees have confirmed that they do not have the right to broadcast the clash in France, for supporters who are based there, and want to see Thierno Barry in action.

Why Everton vs Lille could send a statement to the rest of the league

Everton can make a real statement against Les Dogues, as they are one of the most promising teams in Europe.

They are qualified for Europe's top continental competition, a place where Moyes' side would love to be right now.

If they can secure victory against Davide Ancelotti's side, then it will put the rest of the Premier League on notice, that the L3 side are to be taken seriously in the upcoming campaign

They already did that to an extent against the Magpies, but they only finished one place above the Toffees last season and have a new manager, so they are not necessarily a measure of quality at the moment.

A win over the French side would put the Blues in good stead for the 2026-27 season, and have them feeling confident ahead of the Crystal Palace opener.
