England finds themselves grouped with France, Sweden, and the Republic of Ireland for the Women’s Euro 2025 qualifying stage. The Lionesses, reigning champions since their Euro 2022 triumph nearly two years ago, face a formidable challenge to secure their place in the upcoming finals in Switzerland.
Qualifying is set to commence in April and conclude in July, with play-offs scheduled from October to December.
The Euro 2025 qualifying structure involves European nations divided into three leagues—League A, League B, and League C—based on their UEFA ranking from the 2023/24 Nations League. Each league features a complex system where top teams secure direct qualification, third-placed teams head to the play-offs as seeded or unseeded, and relegations occur.
