If you want to find out where to watch England vs. Spain in the 2025 Women's Euro final this Sunday, you've come to the right place. Keep reading to learn the best ways to stream the match around the globe, as well as free options.
In terms of sequels, this is about as big as they come. England and Spain last met in the World Cup final two years ago when Olga Carmona's goal was enough to claim a 1-0 victory for La Roja. England, though, are the defending European champions and would dearly love to retain their crown in Basel. The Lionesses got here the hard way, losing their opening match against France and relying on penalty shoot-outs and last-minute winners in the knockouts. That has lent them a certain air of invincibility, however, with Sarina Wiegman's squad seemingly never accepting the idea of calling it quits.
Spain's passage has been more comfortable, smashing in 14 goals across their three group games, before overcoming hosts Switzerland and eventually getting past Germany after extra time in the semi-finals. With Esther González and Alexia Putellas leading the tournament scoring, they clearly have the firepower to vanquish England on Sunday.
Can La Roja win their first Euro Championship this weekend, or will the Lionesses roar again? Find out below with our guide to watching England vs. Spain live streams.
