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

England face Sweden in the quarter-finals of Euro 2025 as the holders face a rematch of their semi-final three years ago.

The Lionesses thumped Sweden 4-0 at Bramall Lane on a memorable night, on their way to reaching the Euro 2022 final and winning the tournament.

Sweden will no doubt have revenge on their minds and impressively topped Group C by beating 10-player Germany 4-1 to reach the quarter-finals.

Sweden have several players who represent English clubs, including Arsenal striker Stina Blackstenius, and are familiar opponents for Sarina Wiegman’s side.

England bounced back from their opening defeat to France with comprehensive wins over Netherlands and Wales and have momentum behind them.

What is the England team news?

Sarina Wiegman has named an unchanged team for the third game in a row, following the wins against the Netherlands and Wales. Ella Toone has been in impressive form since returning to the midfield while Lauren James has looked more comfortable playing on the right wing. England have also been more solid defensively since Alex Greenwood and Jess Carter swapped positions in the back four.

Beth Mead and Aggie Beever-Jones both scored against Wales after coming off the bench, so England have plenty of options on the bench should Wiegman decides she needs an impact later in the game.

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

What is the Sweden team news?

Sweden make two changes from the 4-1 win over Germany. Hanna Lundkvist replaces Smilla Holmberg at right back and Julia Zigiotti Olme comes into the midfield in place of Hanna Bennison. Fridolina Rolfo is fit enough to start her second game in a row after recovering from injury.

Sweden XI: Falk; Lundkvist, Björn, Eriksson, Andersson; Angeldahl, Zigiotti Olme; Rytting Kaneryd, Asllani, Rolfö; Blackstenius

What has the England camp said?

Sarina Wiegman: “I expect a very competitive game where it's very hard to predict the outcome and of course they've had a very good group stage, the three wins they had. But I think we are in a very good place too, and we're ready to go. So hopefully we can share that tomorrow. We know they have some qualities, they're good in the air and they have some speed up front too. So we're going to try to prevent that and of course it helps when we have the ball a little bit more than they have.”

What has the Sweden camp said?

Sweden captain Kosovare Asllani: “I feel like Sweden are always flying under the radar I would say. It kind of suits us. Obviously we think we’re one of the best teams in the world from what we have been doing. But people rarely speak about us as someone who can win gold. We’re flying under the radar and that suits us. We know we can beat any team in the world when we have our best day. We don’t think about it too much. People should definitely talk about us more.”
