They play in the Women's Super League, their top tier. Goodison Park (capacity 40,000) was home to the men's team from 1892 to 2025, and the original plan was to demolish it once the new stadium opened.

A mammoth of a Greco-Roman-style building which was built by wealthy merchants for the people of the city. It is arguably the finest neo-classical building in Western Europe, and has been thoroughly restored for Capital of Culture Year. Inside it has one of the best church organs in Europe. On the outside it has a selection of classical murals which were thought quite shocking in their day (due to the shameful female nudity).
