England Women will aim to defend their European crown when they meet Spain in the UEFA Women’s Euro 2025 final at St. Jakob-Park this Sunday.
It’s been a turbulent road to the summit for the Lionesses. Their campaign in Switzerland got off to a rocky start with a 2-1 defeat to France, making them the first reigning champions to lose their opening match.
With the Netherlands looming in their second fixture, England’s hopes of progressing were hanging by a thread.
Spain, meanwhile, enter the final widely regarded as the continent’s premier side, and by some, the best on the planet. While American fans might contest that claim, few can argue with Spain’s recent dominance.
Already reigning world champions, this showdown gives them a golden opportunity to claim the European title and further stamp their authority on the global stage.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.

England vs. Spain lineups, team news
Sarina Wiegman has largely stuck to a settled lineup, making only two tweaks to her starting XI throughout the tournament.
However, a question mark lingers over Lauren James‘ fitness after she was withdrawn at halftime against Italy with a knock.
England predicted XI (4-3-3, right to left): Hampton (GK) — Bronze, Williamson, Morgan, Greenwood — Toone, Walsh, Stanway — James, Hemp, Russo.
Injured: James (doubt).
Suspended: None.
On the Spanish side, Laia Aleixandri is set to return to the backline after serving a suspension during their semi-final triumph over Germany.
Her comeback will likely see Maria Méndez drop to the bench as Spain look to round off a near-flawless campaign with continental silverware.
Spain predicted XI (4-3-3, right to left): Coli (GK) — Battle, Paredes, Aleixandri, Carmona — Bonmati, Guijarro, Putellas — Caldentey, Gonzalez, Pina.
Injured: None.
Suspended: None.
