England are celebrating becoming back-to-back European champions after beating Spain in the Euro 2025 final.
The Lionesses have enjoyed an open-top bus parade in London, with thousands of supporters lining The Mall to welcome home their heroes.
But already, attention is turning to the next tournament: the World Cup.
The Lionesses came so close to winning the biggest trophy in football in 2023, losing in the final to Spain.
Victory in Switzerland will give them renewed hope that they can go one better next time.
Here’s everything you need to know about the next Women’s World Cup, including when and where it’s taking place:
When is the next Women’s World Cup?
The Women’s World Cup is held every four years, with the next tournament to take place in 2027.
It is currently slated to begin on June 24, with the final a month later on July 25.
Where is the next Women’s World Cup being held?
Brazil will host the 2027 Women’s World Cup, the first time the tournament will be held in South America.
They won the hosting rights after beating a joint-bid from Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands.
Eight venues in as many cities will be used, the largest of which is the Estadio do Maracana in Rio de Janeiro with a capacity of 73,139.
We also know the hosts for the following two editions of the Women’s World Cup, with the competition heading to the USA and Mexico in 2031.
Then in 2035, football comes home to England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. While not official yet, the UK was the only country to submit a valid bid to host the tournament.
How many teams will be in the tournament?
32 teams will battle it out for glory at the 2027 Women’s World Cup.
As per usual, there will be eight groups of four teams, with the top two in each group progressing to the knockouts.
This will be the last Women’s World Cup to use this format, with the competition expanding to 48 teams for 2031.
When does qualifying start?
Hosts Brazil are the only team guaranteed to be at the next Women’s World Cup at the moment, with qualifying to be done in two phases.
Each confederation will have their own qualifying process, with England hoping to be among the 11 teams from Europe to make it.
The best ranked teams who don’t qualify from each confederation will however get a second chance at glory through the inter-confederation play-offs, which will take place just a few months before the tournament kicks-off.
The draw for UEFA qualifying will take place on November 4, with the matches to be played from February to December 2026.
Who will win the 2027 Women’s World Cup?
Shortly after England’s triumph at the Euros, Ian Wright named his favourite to win the 2027 World Cup.
‘USA are the favourites, they’re the ones to beat. They’re so good, they’re so good!’ the Arsenal legend said on ITV.
‘If we get anywhere near them I’d be really happy because they’re the ones, they’re major favourites.
‘You can’t ignore France either, they seem to be really close.
‘Spain as well. If they can get that centre-forward to finish it off then Spain will be a problem.’
