Lubbock, TX, October 9, 2026 — Premier League club Everton is reportedly exploring avenues for investment and a potential sale of the club. The announcement came from the club’s current U.S. owner, the Friedkin Group, which recently completed its acquisition of Everton.

The Friedkin Group took ownership of Everton in December 2024, a transaction that marked a new chapter for the Merseyside club. Shortly after assuming control, the ownership group has indicated a strategic review process that includes considering external investment and the possibility of a full sale.

Details regarding the specific nature of the investment options being explored or the timeline for any potential sale have not been publicly disclosed. The Friedkin Group’s announcement did not specify the reasons behind this exploration at this early stage of their ownership. Information concerning potential buyers or the valuation of the club was also not provided.

Everton, a prominent club in English football with a long history, has faced various challenges in recent seasons, including financial considerations and on-field performance. The club has been working on the development of a new stadium, a significant project that requires substantial funding.

Further announcements regarding the club’s ownership future are anticipated, though no definitive dates or outcomes have been shared by the Friedkin Group at this time. The financial terms of the initial acquisition in December 2024 were not disclosed.

The statement from the Friedkin Group indicates that the club is actively assessing its strategic direction. The process of exploring investment and sale options is ongoing, and the club’s management is expected to provide updates as developments occur.
