When are England playing next at Euro 2025 and who are they against?

England clinched a semi-final spot at Euro 2025 by pulling off an incredible comeback against Sweden in the quarters.

The Lionesses went down to 2-0 in the first half and Sweden remained the dominant side until the 78th minute when Chloe Kelly and Michelle Agyemang were introduced to the game.

Kelly supplied two perfect crosses which saw Lucy Bronze and Agyemang score to send the game to extra time and then penalties. A chaotic shootout ensued but Bronze scored the winning penalty to send the defending champions through.

England: When are they playing next?

After finishing as runners-up in Group D, it put England on a certain path to the final and so after beating Sweden they will play Italy in the semi-final.

That game will be played on Tuesday, 22 July with a kick-off time of 8pm BST.

England have beaten Italy in seven of the last 10 games the two nations have played across all competitions.

However, Italy have the upperhand at the Euros as they have beaten England on both occasions they have played one another.

They came in 2-1 wins in the 1997 and 2009 competitions.

Italy have also been a strong contender at the 2025 tournament, knocking Norway out in the quarter-finals.

England though have grown into the tournament. Their opening 2-0 loss to France was disappointing but they then were too much for the Dutch and Wales.

The 4-0 win against the Netherlands was the biggest loss the Dutch have ever had at a women's major tournament.

There was also pressure to follow-up the impressive outing against Wales but they more than matched it with a 6-1 victory.

The start of the Sweden game set England's performance back slightly but their resolve to come back highlights their winning mentality.

The game against Italy will be an interesting one in terms of how the Lionesses respond and if Italy can make their first women's Euros final since 1997.
