The Lionesses are to take on Brazil, Australia and Ghana across the country in the ‘Homecoming Series’ ahead of starting the road to the 2027 FIFA World Cup.
The EURO 2025 winners, who begin World Cup qualification next February, will welcome the South American champions Brazil to the City of Manchester Stadium on Saturday 25 October (5.30pm kick-off BST).
They will then meet their 2023 FIFA World Cup semi-final opponents Australia at the home of Derby County the following Tuesday 28 October (7pm kick-off GMT).
The ‘Homecoming Series’ will continue at Wembley Stadium with the previously announced fixture against Asian champions China on Saturday 29 November, with more than 60,000 tickets already sold.
A memorable Lionesses year will draw to a close with confirmation of a first-ever meeting with Ghana at Southampton on Tuesday 2 December (7pm kick-off GMT).
The ‘Homecoming Series’ will be broadcast across ITV.
Head coach Sarina Wiegman told englandfootball.com: “It is great that we can return to action after our incredible summer with four exciting fixtures at home. Each opponent will challenge us in different ways, which is exactly what we need with World Cup qualification beginning early next year.
“It’s very nice to begin against Brazil and it is also special for us to be able to play again for our fans in Manchester for the first time since EURO 2022. We know from the Finalissima in 2023 that they will be very tough opponents.
“We love taking the team around the country, so to also play Australia in Derby and Ghana in Southampton as well as the China PR fixture at Wembley gives us a lovely way to say ‘thank you’ for the incredible support we have had this year and before.”
