Is England v Spain on TV? How to watch Lionesses in Women’s World Cup qualifier
The European champions and world champions meet in a World Cup qualifier at Wembley
England and Spain meet again in a Women’s World Cup qualifier at Wembley. The Lionesses defeated Spain on penalties to win the Euro 2025 final in Basel last summer, after Spain beat England two years earlier to win the World Cup in Sydney. Now, Sarina Wiegman’s European champions will face the world champions in qualifying for the 2027 World Cup in Brazil, with Ukraine and Iceland also in their four-team group.
There is only one automatic qualifying place available and England and Spain will arrive at Wembley level on six points from two games played. England put six past Ukraine last month before beating Iceland 2-0, with Spain also recording two victories from their first two matches. Here’s everything you need to know When is England v Spain?
The Lionesses will play the world champions at 7pm BST on Tuesday 14 April at Wembley. How can I watch it? It will be shown live on ITV 1 and ITV X, with coverage starting from 6:30pm.
What is the England team news? England captain Leah Williamson has not played in a month and misses out on a place in the squad having not proved her fitness in time for tonight’s game. Her absence means Keira Walsh, who will win her 100th cap, will wear the captain’s armband.
