The 2025 UEFA Women’s EURO winners, England, will celebrate their historic triumph with fans at a homecoming celebration event in central London on Tuesday 29 July.
Fans will have the opportunity to celebrate and show their support for Sarina Wiegman and the Lionesses at an open-top bus procession along The Mall, which will start at 12.10pm, culminating with a staged ceremony at the Queen Victoria Memorial in front of Buckingham Palace starting at approximately 12.30pm.
The homecoming celebration will be broadcast live across the BBC, ITV and Sky between 12pm noon and 1pm, with extensive news coverage being provided throughout the day across BBC, ITN and Sky channels. Fans can also follow coverage of the event across England’s social media channels.
The homecoming staged ceremony at the Queen Victoria Memorial will be hosted by Alex Scott. The event is free to attend, and those attending will be able to watch the Band of His Majesty’s Royal Marines Portsmouth and the Central Band of the Royal Air Force welcome home the victorious England team, enjoy live music from DJ CharStape and see tournament highlights shown on big screens, before Sarina Wiegman and the Lionesses take the stage for a special European Championship winners trophy lift presentation.
These celebrations will be hosted by the Football Association, supported by the UK Government.
Further details on the homecoming celebration event, including general guidance, timings and travel information, will be shared in due course. London is going to be very busy so people should plan their visits carefully, both coming into central London and travelling home.
FA Chief Executive, Mark Bullingham, said: “Our history-making Lionesses are Champions of Europe for the second successive time, and have become the first England Senior team in history to win a tournament overseas. We are so proud of all of the players, Sarina and the support team who have all been part of this incredible achievement. They have all worked unbelievably hard and we know the nation shares our pride. The victory celebration in London on Tuesday will give England fans an opportunity to celebrate with the players, and be part of history. We’ve had amazing support from our fans both in Switzerland and at home throughout the tournament, and we look forward to celebrating together and creating some lifelong memories.”
Secretary of State for Culture Media and Sport, Lisa Nandy, said: “The Lionesses’ incredible win has done our country proud. Now, we have the chance to cheer these heroes home at their homecoming parade. The Lionesses didn’t just set out to win the tournament, they wanted to change society – and this government is rising to that challenge. Whether it is supporting girls and boys to pursue school sport, investing in grassroots facilities across the country or bidding for the 2035 Women’s World Cup, we are laying the foundations for a decade of change by breaking down the barriers to participation and inspiring the next generation of players.”
