England vs Spain: Women's Euro final kick-off time, TV channel, live stream details

England and Spain are set to clash in a major international final for the second time in two years this afternoon, with the Lionesses seeking to settle scores following their World Cup final defeat in 2023. A win would allow the Lionesses to retain their Euros trophy, a feat only achieved by one other team in the tournament's history. However, a victory for Spain would be historic as they would simultaneously hold the World Cup, Nations League and European Championship titles. Sarina Wiegman's squad seemed destined for defeat on Tuesday night when Italy held onto a 1-0 lead until the 95th minute of the semi-final match.

Yet, it was young star Michelle Agyemang who once again saved the day for the Lionesses, scoring a last-minute goal that pushed the game into extra time. As a penalty shootout loomed, a foul on Beth Mead by Emma Severini led the referee to award a penalty just a minute before the end of extra time.

Chloe Kelly took the penalty with her signature style, and although her initial shot was blocked by Laura Giuliani, the 27-year-old swiftly scored from the rebound. This last-minute strike secured England's place in their third consecutive final under Wiegman.

It seemed as though a similar narrative was unfolding in the semi-final match between Spain and Germany, with goalkeepers Ann-Katrin Berger and Cata Coll delivering stellar performances that led to a 0-0 draw and an additional 30 minutes of play. With penalties looming, the Germans appeared more eager, given their numerous opportunities and formidable goalkeeper.

However, Ballon d'Or winners have a knack for making their mark, and two-time winner Aitana Bonmati demonstrated why she's considered the best in the sport. Her swerving shot in the 113th minute propelled Spain into their first-ever Euros final - their previous best finish was the semi-finals in 1997 - where they'll face familiar rivals, the Lionesses.

So, how can you tune into what promises to be a thrilling clash between two of Europe's top women's teams? Express Sport has all the latest details on kick-off times, viewing options, and team news.

What's the latest on the England squad?

Lauren James's fitness is causing concern among England supporters after she was substituted at half-time against Italy due to ankle trouble. The Chelsea striker's participation in the final hangs in the balance, as Wiegman said: "She hurt her ankle. I haven't seen her yet, so I don't know what it looks like over the next couple of days, but we had to take her off."

Whether James will be fit enough to play a part in the final, either from the start or as a substitute, is still uncertain. Nonetheless, the Lionesses are not short of talent to fill the void left by the potentially absent forward, with rising star Agyemang posing a selection dilemma for Wiegman.

Agyemang has made a significant impact from the bench during the Euros, scoring two pivotal goals in the knockout stages. Her first goal levelled the score in the 81st minute of the quarter-final against Sweden, leading to extra-time, while her dramatic 96th-minute goal against Italy in the semi-final mirrored that crucial contribution.

The Arsenal star has undoubtedly demonstrated her value, so it will be interesting to see whether Wiegman will persist with deploying her as a substitute or grant her a starting position. Chloe Kelly presents another intriguing option for the manager to weigh up, as her strike against Italy and her assist versus Sweden demonstrates that she possesses the same mental strength as Agyemang.

As for the remainder of the squad, Wiegman appears to have a complete roster of talent at her disposal, with Esme Morgan earning selection ahead of Jess Carter in the Italy encounter. Whether the manager will maintain her approach of blending experience with youthful, untapped potential, or completely alter her strategy against Spain remains uncertain, though she has certainly sparked debate amongst supporters with her recent pre-match comments.

Heaping praise upon her two substitute game-changers, Wiegman said: "Chloe thrives in these moments. She is excited about it and you can tell. Michelle - what a talent. When she hit the crossbar [in extra time] was a very good action too.

"We never give up. We say we can win by any means. Against Sweden, with the penalty shoot-out, we were a bit lucky that they missed. Tonight we were going for that goal but it gave us something, too. This team just keeps going."

What has Sarina Wiegman said?

England boss Wiegman is riding the crest of a wave ahead of her fifth straight final - and England's third - this Sunday, as she expressed her amazement. "It feels a bit surreal making the final again. We're here, and we're going to do the final so we need to recover a bit [physically, emotionally, mentally].

"I'm the lucky one to work with so many good people, good players, good staff, good support from the Federation: the FA this time, and the Dutch FA before that. I think it's so special to play a final. I actually can't believe it myself."

On the other side, Spain's Aitana Bonmati is eager to carve out a historic victory on Sunday: "It was our dream to get to the final. We work every day for these kind of moments. We've never made it to the Euro final, but today we made history again. We'll try to make more history on Sunday."
