The England Lionesses are set to face Jamaica in a send-off match on Sunday, June 29, 2025, at the King Power Stadium in Leicester. This is their final game before heading to Switzerland to defend their UEFA Women's Euro 2025 title.
Kick-off Time
The match is scheduled to kick off at 5:00 pm BST.
How to Watch
For fans in the UK and Ireland, the game will be broadcast live on ITV1 and STV. The match will also be available to stream online via ITVX and STV Player. A valid TV license is required to watch live TV in the UK.
Match Preview
This will be the first-ever international fixture between England and Jamaica's women's teams. For England, it is the last opportunity for coach Sarina Wiegman to fine-tune her squad before the Euros. After missing out on the UEFA Women's Nations League finals, England will be looking to make a statement with a dominant victory.
England enters the tournament as one of the favorites, but there are concerns about the team's experience due to the absence of Millie Bright and the recent retirements of Mary Earps and Fran Kirby. Thirteen players from the Euro 2022-winning squad are returning, while seven are set to make their tournament debuts. Lauren James, who recently recovered from an injury, is in the squad, but her participation remains uncertain.
Jamaica, on the other hand, has been struggling with form, having lost their last three games. They will also be missing key players, including Bunny Shaw, Taylor Hinds, and Drew Spence.
Fan Events
Fans attending the game in Leicester can participate in several events. Photo opportunities with the UEFA Women's EURO 2022 trophy and the UEFA Women's Champions League trophy will be available outside the stadium's club shop from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm BST. The trophies will then be moved to the fan zone, hosted by former Lioness Rachel Daly, from 4:00 pm to 4:30 pm BST. After the match, fans are encouraged to stay in their seats for a special send-off, where Sarina Wiegman and the Lionesses squad will thank them for their support.
Team News
Sarina Wiegman is likely to field a team similar to the one she intends to use against France in their opening Euro 2025 match. Lauren James is expected to start on the bench as she regains full fitness. Hampton and Greenwood are likely to fill the places of Earps and Bright. Jamaica faces significant injury problems, with Bunny Shaw, Taylor Hinds, and Drew Spence all ruled out.
With the Lionesses embarking on their journey to defend their European Championship title, this send-off match against Jamaica at the King Power Stadium provides one last chance to prepare in front of a home crowd.
