talkSPORT land rights to Women's Euro 2025 as Lionesses defend their crown

Between July 2 and 27, talkSPORT will broadcast all of the action from the qualifying home nations, England and Wales, plus the opening match, both semi-finals and the final, live from Switzerland.

The move will see listeners receive over 100 hours of programming next summer, with plenty of extra features to complement the on-air coverage.

As well as the action on the pitch, the Women's Euros content across the talkSPORT network will feature discussions, phone-ins and a daily podcast over the course of the tournament.

This will build on the success of talkSPORT's coverage across the UEFA Women's Euro 2022.

Head of talkSPORT Liam Fisher said: "We can't wait to bring the UEFA Women's Euro 2025 to talkSPORT listeners in July, with great commentaries, on location broadcasts and all the key moments of the event. See you in Switzerland for kick off."

UEFA Marketing Director, Guy-Laurent Epstein, said: "We are delighted to work with talkSPORT again following their coverage of the UEFA Women's Euro 2022 tournament.

"It promises to be a fantastic tournament and I'm looking forward to hearing what they have in store."

England's Lionesses head into Euro 2025 as defending champions following their stunning triumph at Wembley in 2022.

This was the women's national team's maiden silverware, and marked the first time since 1966 that any England senior team had won a major trophy.

Sarina Wiegman's side have since created more history, as they then recorded a best ever run at the Women's World Cup in 2023.

The Lionesses reached the final of the showpiece tournament, before losing 1-0 to Spain in a closely-contested showdown in front of 75,000 at Stadium Australia in Sydney.

But they will have their work cut out if they are to replicate their Euro 2022 heroics at the 16-team tournament in Switzerland.

England have been given a tough group for next summer's finals, drawing the Netherlands, France and home nation rivals Wales.

Les Bleus were beaten in the semi-finals at the last European Championship, while the 'Oranje' are former champions, winning Euro 2017 under the management of Wiegman.

Despite this, recent form is certainly on England's side, having recorded wins over these two rivals over the last 12 months.

Wiegman's side beat France 2-1 in June at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard in their Euro 2025 qualifying campaign, having originally lost by the same scoreline at home.

They also claimed a 3-2 win over the Netherlands in December 2023, again overturning a 2-1 loss to the side a few weeks prior.

And despite avoiding World champions Spain in the group stage, there is every chance England will face the tournament favourites further down the line should they reach the knockout rounds.

The Lionesses begin their campaign against France in Zurich on Saturday July 5.

The defending champions then face Wiegman's home country, the Netherlands, on July 9 before the all-British clash against Wales kicks off on Sunday July 13 in St Gallen.

They will be targeting another run all the way to the final, which takes place on Sunday, July 27 at the 37,500-capacity St. Jakob-Park in Basel.
