Is England v Jamaica on TV? Channel, kick-off time and how to watch Lionesses send-off | OneFootball

England face Jamaica in the send-off for Euro 2025 as the Lionesses step up their preparations for their title defence with a friendly in Leicester.

The European champions open their tournament against France in Zurich on Saturday, kicking off the ‘group of death’ with games against Netherlands and Wales also to come.

England have not played since a 6-0 win over Portugal and 2-1 defeat against Spain to end their Nations League campaign a few weeks ago, but have organised a friendly against Jamaica to sharpen their build-up.

Lauren James is available to return to play some minutes after recovering from a hamstring injury, with Sarina Wiegman including seven players in her squad who are set to play at their first major tournament.

This will also be the last chance for some players to state their case to start against France on Saturday. Here’s everything you need to know.

The friendly kicks off at 5pm on Sunday 29 June at the King Power Stadium, Leicester.

Sarina Wiegman confirmed everyone else is ready to play 90 minutes, including Georgia Stanway - who has recently returned from a knee injury.

What is the Jamaica team news?

The ‘Reggae Girlz’, who defied expectations to finish ahead of Brazil and reach the last-16 of the 2023 World Cup, will be without a number of their WSL-based players, including captain and star striker Khadija ‘Bunny’ Shaw, Liverpool captain Taylor Hinds, Tottenham defender Drew Spence and goalkeeper Rebecca Spencer.

What Sarina Wiegman said pre-match

On England’s preparations: “The squad is in good shape. We’ve had two weeks to train, that was really nice. Tomorrow is our last moment in England to show that we’re ready and how ready we are. We’re really excited to play the last game before we go into the tournament. You just want to get good connections out of the team and show the level we have at the moment.”

On facing Jamaica: “I think they're very physical, they miss a couple of players, unfortunately, because you really like to play against the best opponent, but I think they'll challenge us physically. They have a pretty direct style of play, so we expect to have the ball and that's where we put a bit more emphasis on.”
