Is England vs Sweden on TV? Channel, kick-off time and how to watch Lionesses tonight
The Lionesses are back in action tonight as they host Sweden at Wembley – kicking off their defence of their European crown.
It’s England’s first game of the Euro 2025 qualifiers.

Since then they’ve reached plenty of other milestones, including making it to a World Cup final – beaten 1-0 by Spain.
England have been placed in the ‘group of death’ for the qualifiers – facing Sweden, France and the Republic of Ireland – they will compete for two automatic spots.
When is England vs Sweden?
The match will kick off at 8pm BST on Friday 5 April at Wembley.

Goalkeeper Khiara Keating has returned to Manchester City due to a knee injury, while Millie Bright is not in the squad as the centre-back recovers from a knee injury.
