Is Sweden v England on TV? Channel, kick-off time and how to watch Lionesses tonight

England travel to Sweden this evening with the aim of sealing automatic qualification for Euro 2025. A draw or better will be enough for the Lionesses after they defeated the Republic of Ireland 2-1 last Friday thanks to goals from Alessia Russo and Georgia Stanway .

That victory moves them above Sweden in Group A3 and gives them a three point advantage heading into this final qualification fixture. Should the Lionesses lose they will need to progress through a series of play-offs in order to reach the tournament in Switzerland and have the chance to defend their title.

For their part, Sweden - who drew with England in the first game of qualifying - need to win. They lost 2-1 to France last time out meaning their promising campaign is at risk of ending on a sour note.

Here’s everything you need to know.

Draw 9/5

England win 11/10

Prediction

Sweden will take confidence from the 1-1 draw they earned against England when the two teams met earlier in qualification but Sarina Wiegman’s side have seemingly rediscovered their form. They were dominant against the Republic of Ireland though lacked a ruthlessness in front of goal which could hurt them against a decent Swedish team. This will be closely contested but England should have enough quality to come out on top.

Sweden 1-2 England.
