Will England have a trophy parade after winning Euro 2025?
The Lionesses will show off their trophy on Tuesday 29 July after leaning on goalkeeper Hannah Hampton during the shootout, with the Chelsea shot-stopper thriving to deny Mariona Caldentey and Aitana Bonmati, while Salma Paralluelo missed the target completely.
Sarina Wiegman 's side, playing their third successive major final, rallied after an early setback in the first half at St Jakob Park.
Mariona Caldentey broke the deadlock with a superb header, but Alessia Russo's own header from Kelly's delightful cross forced extra-time, with nothing separating the sides after a further 30 minutes. Here's everything we know about a title parade for the Lionesses after Wiegman's side created more history:
When and where will the parade be?
The Lionesses' Euro 2025 parade will be on Tuesday 29 July with an open-top bus procession along The Mall. It will start at 12.10pm BST, finishing with a staged ceremony at the Queen Victoria Memorial in front of Buckingham Palace starting at approximately 12.30pm.
How can I watch the parade?
The homecoming celebration will be broadcast live across the BBC, ITV and Sky between 12pm noon and 1pm. Fans can also follow coverage of the event across England's social media channels.
The event is free to attend, with the Band of His Majesty's Royal Marines Portsmouth and the Central Band of the Royal Air Force welcoming home the victorious England team.
What has the FA said about the parade?
FA Chief Executive, Mark Bullingham, said: "Our history-making Lionesses are Champions of Europe for the second successive time, and have become the first England Senior team in history to win a tournament overseas. We are so proud of all of the players, Sarina and the support team who have all been part of this incredible achievement. They have all worked unbelievably hard and we know the nation shares our pride. The victory celebration in London on Tuesday will give England fans an opportunity to celebrate with the players, and be part of history. We've had amazing support from our fans both in Switzerland and at home throughout the tournament, and we look forward to celebrating together and creating some lifelong memories.'
What has the goverment said about the parade?
Secretary of State for Culture Media and Sport, Lisa Nandy, said: "The Lionesses' incredible win has done our country proud. Now, we have the chance to cheer these heroes home at their homecoming parade. The Lionesses didn't just set out to win the tournament, they wanted to change society – and this government is rising to that challenge. Whether it is supporting girls and boys to pursue school sport, investing in grassroots facilities across the country or bidding for the 2035 Women's World Cup, we are laying the foundations for a decade of change by breaking down the barriers to participation and inspiring the next generation of players."

ITV beat the BBC, but all TV coverage of women's football needs to grow up
It was, you have to say, excellent TV, skilful and provocative, and it hit Carney right in the feels. Karen told us she was welling up and 'I am not going to lie, I found it quite triggering. There is now a little girl and little boy that now knows it is OK to want to be a footballer.' Pace yourself, Karen, there's still half an hour until kick-off. Wright and Hayes also did appropriate amounts of Her Game Too-ing and fair enough. Over on the BBC, a pop singer called Self-Esteem did a song called Focus is Power and it doesn't get more earnest than that. Maybe because the game itself is younger at this level of mainstream interest, or because some of these Lionesses were able to play very long careers, but it feels like the pundits are generally a lot closer both in age and personally to the women they are commenting on. For instance on the BBC: White, only 36 and a team-mate of many of these, whereas a men's game will have Alan Shearer or whoever, guys who belong to a different generation who can, sometimes, put the boot in where needed. This is partly why the coverage of England women players and manager is largely uncritical. For example, it was put to ITV's Anita Asante before the match that maybe Lauren James wasn't fit. Firmly, Asante said: 'If Lauren James is in the starting line-up she is 100 per cent.' That did not really seem to be the case, though, and it symptomatic of a general reluctance to criticise that the men's game has largely moved beyond. Hard to see Gabby Logan saying that the England women's team had played s---, isn't it, as Gary Lineker did about Harry Kane and co? Not that yesterday called for anything beyond cheerleading. Women's football is, as yet, still part elite sport and part feelgood story and social project and the coverage reflects that but it will be really interesting to see if there's room for a Roy Keane or Alan Hansen type in a few years as the TV coverage matures.

The Lionesses secured their second consecutive European title with a thrilling win over Spain in Basel last night, capping off a remarkable tournament under head coach Sarina Wiegman. Ecstatic England fans celebrated across the country as the team retained their Euros title in a penalty shootout win over Spain. To mark the historic moment, Deputy PM Angela Rayner will host the winning England women's team in Downing Street. Sports Minister Stephanie Peacock Stephanie Peacock will also be in attendance. Keir Starmer is due to be in Scotland for a meeting with Donald Trump. The reception will take place this afternoon, bringing together players, coaches, and representatives from The Football Association to mark this momentous achievement. In a statement following the Lionesses' victory, Mr Starmer said: 'The Lionesses have once again captured the hearts of the nation.

Supporters stood on tables, waved flags, threw drinks in the air and excitedly hugged each other as England claimed victory, while the Prince of Wales and Mr Starmer watched on from the stands in Basel. The PM last month visited the Lionesses at one of their training sessions, where he announced a new framework for schools to improve children's access to PE and sport.

Not only are they bringing it home for England again, but they're inspiring the next generation of champions too. It'll be a privilege to celebrate this amazing win with them in Downing Street."

Sarina Wiegman proves Ian Wright wrong in Euro 2025 Final after 'massive mistake'
The England women's team made more history with victory in the Euro 2025 final even after falling behind and losing one of the team's key players to injury in the first half England have won consecutive European titles after the Lionesses edged out Spain in a tense Euro 2025 final on penalties to retain the crown they clinched three years ago. Sarina Wiegman 's side headed into the tournament in Switzerland as one of the favourites. And they lived up to their billing by making it all the way to Sunday's showpiece final, where they avenged their defeat in the 2023 World Cup to Spain by beating the world champions 3-1 on penalties. Chloe Kelly - England's matchwinner in the Euro 2022 final - plundered the decisive penalty after being introduced from the bench just before half-time as a substitute for the struggling Lauren James. But Wiegman's decision to start James, who was plagued by an ankle injury, on the left-hand flank was deemed a "massive risk" by Ian Wright, working the match as a pundit for ITV. "Massive risk," Wright said while analysing James' selection pre-match. "I think she's [Wiegman] wasted a sub there. "She's obviously not right and not only that, she's put her on the other side. I said she should have been in the centre, not on the left side! Having to chase back Ona Batlle and chase back Aitana Bonmati when you're half fit. I think that's a massive mistake." While Wright was ultimately proved right with James having to be withdrawn shortly before the break, he needn't have worried about the England gameplan. Kelly has shone in her role as a super-sub for England throughout the tournament and her introduction from the bench was once again the catalyst for another famous night for the Lionesses. It was her cross from the left which was guided home by the head of Alessia Russo to force extra-time. And the 27-year-old Arsenal attacker was the coolest person in Switzerland when she stepped up to dispatch her winning spot-kick. Kelly was singled out post-match by Wiegman, who commended her for showing the character to get back to her best after a challenging period. She said of Kelly: "Every player has their own story. Every story is incredible. Her story is out in the open and I'm so happy for her. She has been fighting to come back to her highest level. She really wanted to take that penalty. To be able to score it under that pressure is incredible." Join our new WhatsApp community and receive y our daily dose of Mirror Football content.
