When is England v Spain? Euro 2025 final kick-off time and TV channel
Sarina Wiegman 's side , with Michelle Agyemang's 96th-minute equaliser saving the Lionesses from the brink of elimination.
Chloe Kelly then tucked home her penalty rebound in the dying stages of extra time to book England's place in the final, where they will hope to emulate their Wembley heroics of Euro 2022. Kelly was the hero then, too, scoring the extra time winner in a 2-1 triumph over Germany.
And England will take on Spain in a sensational rematch of the 2023 World Cup final after Aitana Bonmati's goal in extra time sent the world champions through to their first European final with a 1-0 victory over Germany in Zurich.
Spain are looking to follow their World Cup triumph two years ago, where they beat England 1-0 in Sydney, with a first ever Euros title while the Lionesses will be out for revenge as they defend their title.
Here's everything you need to know about the Euro 2025 final.
When is the Euro 2025 final?
The Euro 2025 final between England and Spain will take place on Sunday 27 July in at St Jakob Park, Basel.
While kick-off times for the quarter-finals and semi-finals were 8pm, the final will start at 5pm BST (UK time).
What TV channel is it on?
Viewers will have a choice between BBC One and ITV 1, with both channels providing live coverage of the final.
What is the England team news?
Lauren James suffered an ankle injury during England's semi-final win against Italy and was forced off at half-time. The forward was later seen with ice on her ankle and Sarina Wiegman confirmed: 'She hurt her ankle. I haven't seen her yet, so I don't what it looks like over the next couple of days. But we had to take her off.'
If James is unable to feature in the final, Wiegman could decide to promote Chloe Kelly from the bench after her impact against Sweden and Italy. Or if Wiegman prefers to keep Kelly as an impact substitute, Beth Mead could come into the side. The England manager also suggested that Michelle Agyemang will keep to her own impact role, with Alessia Russo set to start up front.
England could be unchanged elsewhere. Esme Morgan made her first major tournament start against Italy and is now likely to feature alongside Leah Williamson in defence, after the England captain recovered from her own ankle injury. Hannah Hampton has impressed in goal while Lucy Bronze and Alex Greenwood will continue as full-backs.
England's midfield struggled to move the ball quickly enough against Italy but Keira Walsh, Georgia Stanway and Ella Toone are set to remain in place. Grace Clinton and Aggie Beever-Jones were used off the bench against Italy and will be among Wiegman's options again late in the game.
England possible XI: Hampton; Bronze, Williamson, Morgan, Greenwood; Walsh, Stanway; Mead, Toone, Hemp; Russo
What is the Spain team news?
Centre-back Laia Aleixandri should return in defence alongside Spain captain Irene Parades. Spain will field two Ballon d'Or winners in their midfield three, with Aitana Bonmati and Alexia Putellas joined by the equally excellent Patri Guijarro in an all-Barcelona central unit.
Cata Coll made a key double-save to rescue Spain at the end of normal time against Germany and will start in goal, with former Manchester United defender Ona Batlle and Olga Carmona - the scorer of Spain's goal in the 1-0 World Cup final win over England - as full-backs.
Esther Gonzalez leads the golden boot standings with four goals so far and will remain Spain's No 9, with Claudia Pina - who scored both of Spain's goals in their 2-1 win over England in June - and Arsenal's Mariona Caldentey likely to join her in attack.
Salma Paralluelo has struggled for form and fitness at the Euros but could have a say off the bench later on, while Athenea del Castillo has also made an impact off the bench throughout the tournament.
Possible Spain XI: Coll; Batlle, Parades, Aleixandri, Carmona; Guijarro, Bonmati, Putellas; Caldentey, Gonzalez, Pina

Lioness Hannah Hampton was born to be a footballer, ex-manager says
Birmingham-born Hannah Hampton is being celebrated as England's hero after the Lionesses retained their European title in the UEFA Women's Euros, beating Spain on penalties in the 24-year-old saved two penalties before Chloe Kelly stepped up to seal the who was told at a young age she couldn't play football because of a serious eye condition, dealt with a series of setbacks but rose to the top after playing for teams including Birmingham City and Aston former manager Carla Ward said she was "born to be a footballer". Julie Abbot, from Aston Villa Women's Fan Club, said there was such a "vibe" in the stadium she couldn't put into words how she felt, adding: "It was one of those where the match was going to be decided on a piece of bad luck or outstanding skill and the longer it went on, the longer I thought 'this is ours tonight, it's here for the taking'."She said Hampton came in after Mary Earps announced her shock retirement earlier this year, and had proven herself worthy, adding: "To see her so happy and the whole team is just amazing – just amazing for football and amazing for English football and promoting the game in this country." Hampton grew up in Warwickshire, and attended Erasmus Darwin Academy in Burntwood, her home village of Studley, pub landlord Daz White has screened all the games at The Swan. He said everyone always believed England could win, even when they were one goal down."There was always confidence," he said. "You couldn't move in the pub, it was absolutely heaving." Sian Osmond, assistant manager at Rugby Borough Women, said she hoped England's win would continue to drive interest in women's football in this country. "Hopefully, it inspires the next generation as well, because seeing is believing," she aged 13, an aspiring goalkeeper from Coundon, near Coventry, said: "This definitely shows how women are pretty much as good as the men, like this is inspiration for the next generation."The Rugby Town player said she had her "fingers crossed" she might one day play at a national level herself. 'Feel good' moment Monica Smith, from Spotty Pots Pottery Painting Studio in Studley, said it had been an incredible game, incredible competition and incredible team, adding: "They are the best."At her studio, she has been making Lionesses, which are now dotted all over the village, and said celebrations would continue: "We've got lots of footballs, we've got trophies, we've got all sorts of things that people can come and paint, just to commemorate this."This is a moment in time. Some of these young kids are going to remember forever what an exciting thing to have witnessed."I just think it's an incredible feel good thing that we all need." The winning players are attending a reception at Downing Street later to celebrate their victory in Switzerland and there will be an open-top bus parade through central London on the game, Hampton said the team had been "unbelievable, incredible". She said she lost track of the score when Kelly stepped up, adding: "I saw that run up and that was it, we've won. I can't believe it."She revealed she lost a nail along the way, but said: "If I have to give up a nail for the trophy, for the win, then so be it, but it's a lovely moment."

How will Gyokeres fare in Premier League?
"I don't think he's the guy," former England defender Rio Ferdinand said of Viktor Gyokeres on his Rio Ferdinand Presents podcast, when the striker was linked with Manchester United."I've watched him probably three times really, really closely. And three times I've gone: 'He ain't getting that opportunity in the Prem'. Is there enough - after he's physically matched - to get him a goal?"Take a glance at the list of leading goalscorers in Europe's top leagues in 2024-25 and the usual suspects are who is 6ft 2in, managed 39, though the Primeira Liga is not considered one of the top five leagues in question is whether Gyokeres he can be prolific in a stronger league. He has just turned 27 and is yet to play in Europe's top five divisions - hence Ferdinand's is perhaps worth noting 35% of his goals in 2024-25 came from penalties, as he successfully converted all 19 of his is little denying that Gyokeres is a goalscorer, but will he be such a success against elite-level defences?"Obviously with Arsenal's front players there's going to be competition," Bjorn Hamberg, Gyokeres' former assistant coach at Brighton and fellow Swede, told BBC Sport."I think he's committed to let go again and obviously he understands that Arsenal will be another step up in the ladder."At the same time, in his last few seasons, especially in the Champions League, you can see he is probably more prepared than ever to take that challenge on."He improves every year and normally stays fit. He's just one of those players who is good around the box, a good finisher, but he's also quite strong in transition and in big spaces."So he's quite versatile in that sense and I think that's a really big thing in the Premier League."Read more on Viktor Gyokeres
