What channel is France v England Euro 2025 match on? TV coverage, live stream and kick-off time
Check out how to watch France v England in Euro 2025, including TV channel, radio coverage and kick-off time.
The wait is over. England begin the defence of their European crown in a testing Euro 2025 opener against France in Zurich on Saturday evening.
The Lionesses' build-up to this summer's tournament has been far from ideal, but Sarina Wiegman's side are still well fancied to follow up their 2022 triumph in Switzerland.
England will be desperate to make a winning start, but that will be easier said than done against a French team that arrive at Euro 2025 in search of their first major trophy.
Even though France coach Laurent Bonadei made the bold call of dropping the much-loved trio of Wendie Renard, Eugénie Le Sommer and Kenza Dali, the talent-packed squad arrive in hot form and are considered the favourites beyond Spain and England.
Only two teams can progress from the 'Group of Death', which also includes the Netherlands and Wales, and Saturday night's game feels like the biggest game of the tournament so far.
