Everton was a founder member of the Football League in 1888 and quickly established itself as a major force in English football during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The club has enjoyed periods of success including multiple top-flight league titles and domestic cup wins. It has also competed in European competitions, and maintains a long-standing rivalry with Liverpool FC, with the Merseyside derby among the most storied fixtures in English football.

In the modern era, Everton has continued to compete in the Premier League. The club has developed a strong youth system and has produced notable players who have contributed to English football. The club has been owned in the 21st century by a consortium led by Farhad Moshiri, and has pursued stadium and squad development to restore its position among England’s leading clubs.

Dixie Dean remains one of Everton's most celebrated figures, and the club's history is marked by a tradition of attacking play and local support.
