England vs Spain: UEFA Women's Euro 2025 prize money - How much prize money will winners take home
The UEFA Women's Euro 2025 final between England and Spain will take place in Basel, Switzerland's St. Jakob-Park on Sunday.

It also mimics the men's European Championship final from the previous year, in which Spain won 2-1. Sarina Wiegman's team is attempting to become just the second country in history to secure back-to-back Euros titles after making it to three consecutive major finals. They are viewed as the underdogs versus La Roja, who have grown to be a formidable force in the women's game. The winning team will also receive a sizable portion of a record-breaking amount of prize money this year.

About 70% of the entire 2025 budget is allocated to the fixed €1.8 million participation fee for each team taking part in the event, which is three times the amount of money allocated in 2022. The final 30% goes toward rewards for performance, with teams getting €50,000 for a draw and €100,000 for a win in the group stages. As the knockout stages progress, the amounts rise incrementally, reaching €1.75 million for each finalist. The 2025 tournament's club benefits package broke the previous record, rising from €4.5 million in 2022 to €9 million in 2025, making it the biggest of its kind in women's football. How much will Euro 2025 winners take home? The final winners will have access to a maximum reward money of €5.1 million, more than twice the €2 million jackpot that was potentially awarded in 2022. If Spain wins the final on Sunday, they will receive this amount because they have won both of their elimination matches and all three of their group games. Given that they lost to France in their opening match, England would receive a little less.

England vs Spain – Women's Euro 2025 final LIVE SCORE: Action on NOW as Spaniards LEAD after Caldentey header
England's toughest test Sarina Wiegman and her side have already suffered heartbreak against this Spain side once before when they met in the 2023 World Cup final in Sydney. Wiegman will know she won't be able to rely on chaotic moments anymore if she wants to win back to back Euro's as Spain have been breezing past their opponents this tournament whereas the Lionesses have been counting their lucky stars with how they've progressed to the finals. When the two sides met in the World Cup Final, only one goal separated the two and that was because of a Olga Carmona strike in the 29th minute which carried the Spaniards all the way to victory. Will England get their revenge on Spain and make it consecutive Euro triumphs or will Spain get their hands on their first Euro title?

Where to watch England vs. Spain: Live stream Women's Euro Final free from anywhere
If you want to find out where to watch England vs. Spain in the 2025 Women's Euro final this Sunday, you've come to the right place.

England and Spain last met in the World Cup final two years ago when Olga Carmona's goal was enough to claim a 1-0 victory for La Roja. England, though, are the defending European champions and would dearly love to retain their crown in Basel. The Lionesses got here the hard way, losing their opening match against France and relying on penalty shoot-outs and last-minute winners in the knockouts. That has lent them a certain air of invincibility, however, with Sarina Wiegman's squad seemingly never accepting the idea of calling it quits. Spain's passage has been more comfortable, smashing in 14 goals across their three group games, before overcoming hosts Switzerland and eventually getting past Germany after extra time in the semi-finals. With Esther González and Alexia Putellas leading the tournament scoring, they clearly have the firepower to vanquish England on Sunday.

England vs Spain: Head-to-head record ahead of Women's EURO 2025 Final
A title game between defending champion England and World Cup winner Spain is the Women's European Championship final. Spain has mostly cruised through its five games except for a late scare in a tense semifinal against Germany. England has trailed for long periods of three games and survived being on the brink of elimination in both knockout games. Here's a look at the head-to-head record of England vs Spain before they face off in Basel, Switzerland on Sunday for a shot at the European crown: England vs Spain head-to-head record Matches played: 19 England wins: 8 Draws: 6 Spain wins: 5 England vs Spain head-to-head record in Women's Euros Matches played: 9 England wins: 3 Draws: 4 Spain wins: 2 The last time the two sides met was in the UEFA Nations League earlier this year. A Claudia Pina brace helped Spain beat England 2-1. The teams also met in the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup final where Olga Carmona's goal was enough to crown the Spanish world champions.

Rubiales forced kiss could drive Spain on in Euro 2025 final: England's Toone
Spain beat England 1-0 in 2023 to win the Women's World Cup for the first time, with Olga Carmona scoring the only goal of the game. However, the headlines later were dominated by the forced kiss by former Spanish football federation chief Luis Rubiales on player Jenni Hermoso. Rubiales was eventually fined 10,800 euros ($11,670) for sexual assault in February this year. "It was a difficult period for the Spanish players and I think for what they did in the World Cup, for that to then be the main talking point, was really tough and something they shouldn't have had to go through," Toone told reporters in Zurich on Friday. "They should have celebrated what was an amazing tournament for them." Toone played in the World Cup final and is now hoping England can avenge their defeat that day, as well as repeat their victory in the final of the last European Championship in 2022. "Both of us want to win obviously -- they have their reasons, we have ours and I think it is going to be a very tough game," said the 25-year-old Manchester United midfielder. "We have so much respect for them and the quality they have, but we also believe in ourselves, that we can really step up." England have made a third consecutive major tournament final off the back of two heart-stopping victories in the knockout rounds in Switzerland. After coming back from two goals down late on to beat Sweden on penalties in the quarter-finals, they defeated Italy 2-1 in extra time in the last four. The Lionesses were trailing in that game in Geneva until Michelle Agyemang's 96th-minute effort forced extra time. Chloe Kelly then converted the winner in the 119th minute as penalties loomed. "I think we have it in us all individually and as a team that we want to fight, not stop running," said Toone, who scored England's first goal when they beat Germany 2-1 at Wembley in the Euro 2022 final. "You have seen that in games where sometimes you might feel like we are down and out and it is 90-odd minutes and then someone comes on and we take that moment. © 2025 AFP
