Everton vs Crystal Palace: TV and Streaming Guide for Premier League Clash
Everton and Crystal Palace step into the new Premier League season early, and they do it at a new home. Hill Dickinson Stadium stages one of the opening fixtures of the campaign, with both clubs eager to plant an early marker.
Here’s how to follow it, wherever you are.
Match details
The game is scheduled for Saturday, August 22, with kick-off at 3pm (BST) at Hill Dickinson Stadium. It’s one of the first chances to see how both sides are shaping up for the new season in competitive action.
Is Everton vs Crystal Palace on TV in the UK?
Not this one.
The long-standing Saturday 3pm blackout across English football means there is no live TV broadcast of the full match in the UK. Broadcasters are barred from showing games in that slot to protect attendances across the pyramid.
Fans in Britain will still have one familiar option. Sky Sports News will carry live updates as part of its Soccer Saturday programme, with coverage beginning at 12pm and rolling right through the afternoon, including goals, key moments and studio analysis.
Live stream options for UK viewers
There is no legal live video stream of the match for UK-based supporters, either on TV apps or online platforms, because of the same blackout regulations.
Palace fans do have another way to follow every kick. Live audio commentary will be available through the Official Crystal Palace App via a Palace TV+ subscription, offering radio-style coverage for those not making the trip.
How to watch in the United States
Across the Atlantic, it’s a different story.
Supporters in the United States can watch Everton vs Crystal Palace live on USA Network. The match kicks off at 10am ET, a prime morning slot for Premier League action.
For those who prefer to stream, the fixture will also be available via NBC Sports’ digital platforms and the Peacock app, giving US viewers several straightforward ways to tune in.
Team news
Everton head into the weekend with midfield problems to solve.
James Garner (groin) and Tim Iroegbunam (abductor) are both ruled out and will play no part. Summer signing Christian Norgaard is a doubt after a recent knock, leaving the manager with selection calls to make in the centre of the pitch.
Crystal Palace arrive with a mixed bulletin of their own. Adam Wharton is available again after an injury scare, a boost for their control in midfield. The concern comes in goal: Dean Henderson twisted his ankle in a pre-season friendly against Freiburg and faces a late fitness test before any decision is made on his involvement.
Head-to-head history
The history between these two in the Premier League leans heavily one way.
Everton have dominated the fixture, with 12 wins from 26 meetings. Palace have just 3 victories in that run, with 11 draws rounding out the record.
Hill Dickinson Stadium already has its own chapter in that story. Everton won the first Premier League meeting between the clubs at the new ground in October 2025, snatching the points with a last-minute winner from Jack Grealish.
Now the stage is set again. A new season, a familiar rivalry, and a chance for one of these sides to seize the early momentum.
