England is the reigning UEFA Women’s European champions, after lifting the trophy for the first time when it hosted the tournament in 2022.

Now the Lionesses have to do something they’ve never done before: defend a title.

It won’t be easy for England. Drawn into Group D at Euro 2025, alongside France, the Netherlands, and Wales, the Lionesses’ journey to the final is set to be one of the most difficult if they are to compete for the trophy on July 27 in Basel, Switzerland.

Sports Illustrated has mapped out England’s group stage schedule and potential path to the final should Sarina Wiegman’s team advance that far.
