For those wanting radio coverage, live audio commentary is available through Stoke City's dedicated audio match pass.
National stations such as talkSPORT also frequently offer live score updates and periodic check-ins for pre-season friendlies involving top-flight teams.
Everton form
Everton have made a relatively solid start to their 2026 summer preparations.
The Toffees secured a convincing 4-0 victory over Dundee before playing out a 0-0 draw against Bolton Wanderers.
Stoke City form
Stoke City's pre-season form has been somewhat mixed as they build up fitness for their upcoming Championship campaign.
The Potters suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat to Braga and managed a 1-1 draw with Crewe Alexandra but have since secured three straight wins over Chester and Sheffield Wednesday (twice).
Transfer business
In the summer transfer window, Everton have bolstered their squad by signing Tyrique George, Merlin Rohl and Hayden Hackney.
Meanwhile, Stoke have been similarly active with notable deals for players like Ethan Galbraith, Milan Smit, Djibril Soumare and Luke Graham for a total spend of more than £20million.
