Sarina Wiegman’s side are now turning their attention to qualifying for the 2027 World Cup and will close out the year with a series of friendlies.

They host Brazil, the champions of South America, at Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium before then facing Australia on Tuesday.

England and Brazil last met in the Finalissima final at Wembley, with the Lionesses winning on penalties after a 1-1 draw.

The match will kick off at 5:30pm BST on Saturday 25 October at the Etihad Stadium, Manchester.

It will be shown live on ITV 1 and ITV X, with coverage getting underway from 4:45pm.

What is the England team news?

Sarina Wiegman will hand a debut to one of her goalkeepers with Hannah Hampton missing the match because of an elbow injury. Khiara Keating and Anna Moorhouse are both uncapped, despite being part of England’s Euro 2025 winning squad, while Brighton's Sophie Baggaley is a new call-up.

Leah Williamson, Lauren James and Lauren Hemp were not part of the squad due to injuries. Grace Clinton withdrew from the squad due to injury, while Lotte Wubben-Moy and Jess Park will also miss Saturday’s game.

Aston Villa’s Lucia Kendall, Arsenal’s Taylor Hinds and Liverpool’s Grace Fisk could all make their debuts after being called up to the squad for the first time.
