Where to Watch Ukraine W vs England W World Cup Qualifier Live?

Ukraine Women take on England Women in a 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup qualification (UEFA) fixture, played at a neutral venue in Antalya, Turkey, due to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. This will be the first meeting between the two sides in World Cup qualification since 2014, with both teams eager to get their campaign off to a strong start.

Historically, England W have dominated this fixture, winning all of the four of their previous meetings with Ukraine, including a 2-1 victory in June 2014 during earlier World Cup qualifying. Ukraine are yet to taste victory over the Lionesses in a senior competition, with England’s experience and depth proving important in the past encounters.

For Ukraine W, this qualifier carries both sporting and emotional significance. Competing away from home due to the ongoing instability in their homeland, Ukraine’s players will be aiming to show resilience and fight against one of Europe’s strongest and most elite sides. A positive result would boost confidence and belief in their qualifying campaign, especially as they aim to make deeper progress in World Cup qualification than in previous times

For the England women's national football team, this qualifier is about asserting early control in their World Cup campaign and maintaining the high standards set under head coach Sarina Wiegman. The Lionesses will be expected to take command of the group and build momentum toward qualification. The match also carries emotional weight for the Lionesses as the players will wear black armbands in honour of former England player Lynda Hale, who passed away on Monday.
