England v Spain: Where and when to watch Women's Euro 2025 final
The Lionesses' showdown against Spain will be their third consecutive major final, following the 2023 World Cup and the previous Women's Euros in 2022, which they won 2-1 against Germany.
Sarina Wiegman's side will enter the final with a sense of déjà vu, having won the last Euros but lost their last major match against Spain in the World Cup final two years ago.
Both sides have had plenty of last-minute dramatics in the run-up to the final, with the Lionesses in particular eeking out late wins over Sweden and Italy in the quarter and semi-finals, respectively.
As both England and Spain battle to be crowned the best side in Europe, here is all you need to know...
Where and when is the final?
The final of the Women's Euros 2025 will take place on Sunday at the St. Jakob-Park in Basel, Switzerland.
Kick off is at 5pm UK time.
How did England make it to the final?
Heading into the tournament, Spain had been tipped to add more silverware to their collection after winning the World Cup and Nations League in the past two years.
The Lionesses faced a tough group at the start of the tournament, with France, the Netherlands and Wales making up Group D.
They also had to make do without three of their most experienced players, with Mary Earps, Millie Bright and Fran Kirby all announcing they wouldn't be playing in the tournament.
In the opening match, England suffered a disappointing 2-1 defeat to France, earning the unwanted title of being the first defending Euros winner to lose their opening match in the next tournament.
However, despite a dismal start, the Lionesses sailed past the Netherlands and Wales to book themselves into the play-off stages.
In the quarter-finals, England faced off against Sweden. And, with 12 minutes remaining, it looked like the Lionesses were going home.
Two quick goals saw them stage an improbable comeback and force a penalty shootout. The penalty shootout featured nine misses before England eventually eked out a 3-2 win.
England continued to live on the brink during their tie with Italy in the semi-finals.
Italy was forced into extra time because substitute Michelle Agyemang levelled the game deep into stoppage time.
But a 2-1 win after extra time saw them set the stage with Spain for the final. Another substitute, Chloe Kelly, scored the decisive goal in the 119th minute, shooting home the rebound only after Italy goalkeeper Laura Giuliani saved her penalty kick.
How can you watch the final?
The Euros final is being shown on ITV and BBC on Sunday, as well as on ITVX and BBC iPlayer.

India pair Washington Sundar and Ravindra Jadeja dent England's hopes of victory
Ben Stokes defied a problem with his right shoulder to dismiss KL Rahul for 90 and end a 188-run stand with Shubman Gill, who was out for 103 on the stroke of lunch in the fourth Rothesay Test. Jadeja was dropped by Joe Root off his first ball and he and fellow all-rounder Sundar settled India's nerves, taking them to tea on 322 for four – wiping out a 311-run first-innings deficit to lead by 11. The situation at tea ☕️ India lead by 1️⃣1️⃣ still require 6️⃣ wickets. Big final session needed 💪 🇮🇳 3️⃣2️⃣2️⃣-4️⃣ — England Cricket (@englandcricket) July 27, 2025 Sundar, promoted to number five with Rishabh Pant injured, ended the session on 57 not out with Jadeja unbeaten on 53, leaving England facing the prospect of just a second draw in the Bazball era – both at Emirates Old Trafford following the 2023 Ashes washout. Aside from the prize scalp of Gill, England could not cash in on the second new ball, taken 40 minutes before lunch, with Liam Dawson offering containment but unable to exploit the foot holes on a fifth-day pitch. Indeed, Stokes offered the most threat, especially at the start of the day. There were doubts about whether he would even bowl after struggling with cramp and soreness in his left leg in Manchester. More fitness concerns became apparent after Liam Dawson started the day, with Stokes rubbing his shoulder following his first over then straightening his arm frequently from then on.

But variable bounce was increasingly in play and Rahul was struck on the knee roll by a delivery that jagged back and kept low, with an already-celebrating Stokes not even turning back to see umpire Rod Tucker's finger being raised. Gill wore a painful blow to his bruised right hand and helmet after another delivery from Stokes leapt off a length, but the India captain soldiered on to a ninth ton in 36 Tests. Alongside Sundar, Gill took India into safer waters and the deficit into double digits after England had taken the new ball without much reward. However, Gill then fiddled outside off to Archer a few minutes before lunch and feathered through a simple catch to Jamie Smith. Jadeja also edged his first ball, but Root could not cling on to a head-high chance at first slip. Jofra Archer gets the BIG wicket of Shubman Gill 👊 India four down! 🇮🇳 2️⃣2️⃣3️⃣-4️⃣ — England Cricket (@englandcricket) July 27, 2025 Archer, usually excellent to left-handers, was too straight in the afternoon session, perhaps targeting the pads of Sundar and Jadeja, both of whom were all too happy to clip off their legs. Dawson was tidy but ineffective to the left-handers, prompting Root to be brought on after just 20 overs with the new ball, with the Yorkshireman getting one to rip past Sundar's outside edge. Stokes delivered a short burst before tea but leaked 15 runs from his third over and hooked himself as a short-ball ploy backfired, thumped twice to the boundary by Sundar and once by Jadeja as the pair brought up their fifties and took India into the lead. There was a possibility of a run out after Jadeja had pushed into the covers and set off, but the incoming Archer fell over while scooping up the ball and the chance was gone.
