During the 1962–63 English football season, Everton F.C. competed in the Football League First Division.

The Big Freeze of 1962–1963, was one of the coldest winters on record[1] Football matches in the English leagues suffered because of the severe effects of the winter weather.[1] Some matches in the FA Cup were rescheduled ten or more times.[2] Matches in the fifth and sixth rounds, scheduled for 16 February and 9 March respectively, were played on 16 and 30 March. A board known as the Pools Panel was set up to adjudicate postponed matches to provide the football pool results.[2] From 22 December to 12 February, Everton completed no competitive matches. The delays occurred before under-soil heating became widespread at major venues. When the thaw arrived, a backlog of fixtures had to be hastily determined. The Football League season was extended by four weeks from its original finishing date of 27 April. The final league fixtures took place one day before the rescheduled FA Cup final.
