Everton FC Exploring Investment Options and Potential Sale, Owner Announces
Premier League club Everton is exploring investment options and a potential sale, according to an announcement from its U.S. owner, the Friedkin Group.

Springfield Holyoke, MA, October 9, 2026 —
Everton Football Club, a prominent member of the English Premier League, is currently in a phase of exploring various investment avenues and is considering a potential sale of the club.
This development was communicated through an official announcement originating from the club’s ownership, the Friedkin Group. The U.S.-based entity has stated that it is actively looking into options that could involve bringing in new investment or facilitating a complete sale of the Premier League outfit.
The announcement did not provide specific details regarding the timeline for these explorations, the parties involved in potential investment discussions, or the valuation the Friedkin Group may be seeking. Further information regarding the financial aspects or the specific nature of the investment options being considered was not immediately available.
The Friedkin Group acquired its majority stake in Everton Football Club in September 2020. Since then, the ownership has overseen the club’s operations amidst its ongoing efforts to establish itself as a consistent force in the Premier League and the development of its new stadium project at Bramley-Moore Dock.
Further updates are expected as the club and its ownership continue to evaluate the available strategic paths forward.
