Everton's pre-season fixtures for 2021 as Blues prepare for 2021/22 season

Everton's new manager will be taking a squad to the US this summer after the club confirmed their first two friendly fixtures.

Carlo Ancelotti's replacement will jet to Orlando in late July for two games in the Florida Cup as Everton return to the States for the first time since 2013.

The Blues face Colombian side Millonarios on July 25 before facing either Inter Milan or Arsenal on July 28, with all games being played at Orlando's 65,000-capacity Camping World Stadium.

Ancelotti had planned for Everton's non-international players to return for pre-season training on July 5 and it is expected that date will remain in place.

Everton have yet to reveal details of any further friendlies or plans for training camps but Goodison, typically, hosts the final warm-up match of the summer a week before the season starts.

The new Premier League campaign kicks-off on the weekend of August 14 with fixtures due to be released on June 16.

David Unsworth's Under-23 team, meanwhile, travel to Vanarama National League North side Guiseley on July 17 (3pm kick-off) and FA Cup giant killers Chorley on Tuesday, August 3 (7.30pm) as part of their preparations for the forthcoming season.
