When is England v Wales? Women’s Euro 2025 kick-off time and TV channel

England face Wales at Euro 2025 as the British rivals clash with a place in the quarter-finals on the line.

Holders England could have been out if they lost to the Netherlands on Wednesday but produced an excellent performance to win 4-0 and spark their tournament into life.

The Lionesses are guaranteed to reach the quarter-finals with a win of any kind while Wales need to win against England and hope other results go their way.

Wales, who have lost both of their games, need to win and for France to beat the Netherlands but the tournament debuts also require a huge goal swing to advance.

Here’s everything you need to know.

When is England vs Wales?

The Euro 2025 match kicks off at 8pm BST (UK time) on Sunday 13 July in St Gallen, Switzerland.

How can I watch it?

It will be shown on ITV 1 and ITV X, with coverage starting from 7pm.

What is the England team news?

England made some key changes for the Netherlands game and looked to have found a settled formula with Lauren James on the right wing, Ella Toone in midfield and Jess Carter at centre-back.

Sarina Wiegman has now named an unchanged team, in order to build some momentum and consistency.

England XI: Hampton; Bronze, Williamson, Carter, Greenwood; Walsh, Stanway, Toone; James, Russo, Hemp

What is the Wales team news?

Olivia Clark returns in goal and Carrie Jones and Rhiannon Roberts also come into the starting line-up for Rhian Wilkinson’s side. The official line-ups have Jess Fishlock starting a little deeper than in the France defeat.

Wales XI: Clark; E. Morgan, Roberts, Evans, Woodham; James, Fishlock; Holland, Jones, Rowe; FF Morgan

What are the group permutations?

England will reach the quarter-finals if they beat Wales on Sunday. If England draw, they can still go through as long as the Netherlands don’t beat France.

Where things could have started to get complicated is if England beat Wales and the Netherlands defeat France, leaving those three teams on six points and breaking the head-to-head record tiebreak.

However, by winning 4-1 against Netherlands and only losing 2-1 to France, the Lionesses would have the advantage on goal difference as long as they beat Wales and would be guaranteed to go through.

Wales are not out just yet - but they need to beat England 4-0 and hope the Netherlands lose to France. Wales’ goal difference after losing 3-0 and 4-1 means progress is very unlikely, however.

What has the England camp said?

Sarina Wiegman: “I hope we will see a game where we have a lot of the ball and we play very good in possession, so we don't let it become into a fighting game. For them it is a big game but for us it is too. We want to win and get through the group stage. There is passion but we have passion too. We want to be really focused and good on the ball. We have to be patient."

What has the Wales camp said?

Wales captain Angharad James: “First and foremost we concentrate on ourselves and delivering the gameplan and getting the performance right. If we do then the result will hopefully come with that. As a Welsh woman, do you want to knock England out? Of course you do. It’s in our blood, it’s in our DNA, the rivalry has always been and always will be there.”
