England's women's national team, the Lionesses, will face France and Portugal in the UEFA Women's Nations League, with all ties to be played over two legs. The draw places the European champions in a challenging group alongside the French side, who reached the World Cup quarter-finals in 2023, and a Portuguese team that has steadily improved on the international stage.
The Nations League format features home-and-away fixtures across the group stage, with the top teams advancing to the knockout rounds and securing qualification pathways for major tournaments. England, under manager Sarina Wiegman, will look to build on their Euro 2022 triumph and World Cup final appearance in 2023.
Match dates and venues for the double-headers against France and Portugal are yet to be confirmed by UEFA. The Lionesses' most recent competitive outings saw them navigate Euro 2025 qualifying, where they topped their group unbeaten.
