Minot Bismarck Dickinson, ND, October 9, 2026 — Everton Football Club, a prominent member of the English Premier League, is reportedly examining its ownership structure and considering potential avenues for investment, which could include a full sale of the club. The U.S.-based Friedkin Group currently owns the Merseyside-based football institution.

Sources indicate that the club is actively exploring various strategic options. These discussions are said to encompass seeking new investment to bolster the club’s financial position and operational capabilities, as well as entertaining the possibility of a complete divestment of ownership.

The Friedkin Group acquired a majority stake in Everton in September 2022. At the time of that transaction, the group expressed its commitment to the club’s long-term future and its ambition to drive success both on and off the pitch. Specific details regarding the current exploration of a sale or investment rounds, including the names of potential buyers or investors, were not immediately available.

Everton’s current situation involves ongoing developments related to its new stadium project, located at Bramley-Moore Dock on the River Mersey, which is expected to be a significant undertaking. The club has also faced challenges in recent Premier League seasons. The outcome of these reported explorations into investment and a potential sale remains to be seen and will be closely watched by stakeholders, fans, and the wider football community.

The status of any ongoing negotiations or formal offers has not been disclosed. Further information will be provided as it becomes available.
