THE Lionesses have made their third consecutive major final after the nail-biting victory over Italy.
But now everyone's attention has turned to who will be the safe pair of hands to lead us through the coverage of the hotly anticipated final.
The final will kick off Sunday, July 27 July at 5pm BST and will be broadcast simultaneously on ITV and the BBC.
It will be up to fans which channel they choose for the historic final.
Who is hosting the final on BBC?
The BBC have pulled out the stops to ensure viewers will be tuning into them, putting the final in the tried and tested hands of an all-female line-up.
Gabby Logan
Veteran sports presenter Gabby Logan will be leading the coverage of the final, having overseen much of the BBC's coverage on the journey to the final.

The future Match of the Day presenter went viral after the last tournament, when England beat Germany, with a thought-provoking speech about the power of the victory.
She returns again as a trusted pair of hands to lead the coverage for what could be a tense night of football.
Who are the BBC pundits?
Logan will be joined by a group of Lioness legends to help provide the insight necessary for a final of this scale.
Former England captain Steph Houghton and Lioness legend Ellen White will join Gabby live in the studio in Basel.
Houghton is regarded as one of the best centre backs in women's football, while White's success on and off the pitch is unrivalled, in particular her involvement in the historic victory at the 2022 Euros.

Pitch side will be Alex Scott and Jill Scott, helping to provide their expert analysis on how the players are feeling.
Alex Scott has become a well-known face of football coverage, regularly hosting Football Focus.
Jill Scott was also involved with White at the 2022 Euro's final, and so will be able to share insights about what it feels like to be the Lionesses, considering many of them will be experiencing their first major final.
Who is hosting the final on ITV?
The women's Euro final will be broadcast for the first time on ITV, after the BBC had the full broadcasting rights in 2022.
ITV's coverage of the dramatic last-four clash has returned the broadcaster's biggest ratings of 2025 so far.

A peak of 10.2 million viewers watched across all devices, which is the biggest peak audience of the year across ITV1 and ITVX, while the match also helped make Tuesday the biggest day of the year for ITVX with 17.2m streams.
As a result, the broadcast has held nothing back with their presenting line-up as they go up against the Beeb.
Laura Woods
Regular viewers of football on ITV will be familiar with Laura Woods, who has been part of the line-up of presenters since 2022.
The former Sky Sports presenter was the trusted hands for ITV during their coverage of the Women's World Cup in 2023.

Since then, Woods has been the lead presenter at the Lionesses biggest matches this tournament, most recently hosting the dramatic semi-final.
Who are the ITV pundits?
While the BBC have whipped a star-studded all-female presenting line-up, ITV have also pulled out the big guns with their pundits, but it's not been without controversy.
In the final, Ian Wright, Emma Hayes and Karen Carney will all be present.
Arsenal legend Wright hit the headlines earlier this year after former England international Eni Aluko argued that he should not be presenting women's football, because he was "blocking" opportunities.
Wright, a stalwart of football coverage, is a passionate advocate for women's football.

What's more, it emerged that Wright has been paying £1,700 a month to fund Kayleigh McDonald's rehab after she suffered an ACL injury while playing for Stoke City last year.
After the controversy, Aluko issued an apology and has since been a part of the broadcaster's coverage; however, they have decided to go with Wright for the final.
Alongside Wright in the presenting line-up will be England legend Karen Carney, who never fails to show her excitement and passion in the big moments while also providing an excellent judgement on the match.

Former Chelsea manager Emma Hayes will also be present for ITV.
Hayes has cemented herself as a wise leader in women's football following her dominant stint at Chelsea and now Olympic gold medal-winning leadership of Team USA.
