Euro 2025 champions England will host world champions Spain at Wembley in April for a 2027 Women’s World Cup qualifier.
Spain beat the Lionesses in the 2023 World Cup final, but England got revenge by beating them on penalties in the Euro 2025 final in July to retain their European title.
The two teams will meet again in Group A3 on Tuesday 14 April, with the match time to be announced in due course.
“Spain are, of course, one of the best teams in the world and to play against them at Wembley again is exciting,” said Lionesses coach Sarina Wiegman.
“We know from the Euro final how difficult it is to play against them and there is great mutual respect between the two teams.”
In addition to Spain, England will face Iceland and Ukraine.
Qualification for the next World Cup, to be held in Brazil, follows the same format as the Nations League and is divided into three categories.
Only the four group winners from League A will automatically qualify for the final, while the remaining teams will have to go through play-offs for the remaining eight places.
“It’s a challenging group, but our goal is to qualify for the World Cup, that’s what we are fully focused on as of now. We hope our fans can help us take another step towards Brazil at Wembley in April,” Wiegman added.
Venue and ticket information for England’s other two home matches will be announced in due course.
