How to watch England v Germany from anywhere in the world

Georgia Stanway of England celebrates after scoring her sides second goal from the penalty spot during the UEFA Women's EURO 2025 qualifying match between England and Republic of Ireland at Carrow Road on July 12, 2024 in Norwich, England.

England v Germany is the first fixture in a series of friendlies for the Lionesses, including a match against South Africa on Tuesday.

The Lionesses welcome Germany to Wembley for the first time since the two face one another in the 2022 European Championships final. England won 2-1 to lift a major trophy for the first time in the women's team history and the first for a senior England team since 1966.

But how can fans watch the game? Here's all you need to know about the fixture.

Lauren James will not play a part after withdrawing from the team with a calf injury, which she sustained in the build-up to Chelsea's Women's Champions League game against FC Twente.

The other team news will not be confirmed until Friday but Lionesses fans will be interested to see who Wiegman picks in goal. Mary Earps has long been the Lionesses number one but Hannah Hampton is giving Earps good competition.

For Germany, they will be without Lena Oberdorf who is recovering from an ACL injury.

If Alexandra Popp plays a part it will be her penultimate international game as she is retiring from Germany duty after the team play Australia on 28 October.

England midfielder Georgia Stanway, who in FourFourTwo's view is one of the Lionesses best players, said about playing Germany: "They are a big threat. They will be feisty, robust and want to get into your head. They are also technically great.

"I know Sarina will be questioning me about every player [Stanway plays her club football for Bayern Munich]. They are Germany, so you know what you are going to get."

Who is Alexandra Popp?

Popp has won 144 caps for Germany and scored 67 goals.

The Germany captain became a household name during the 2022 European Championships where she scored in each game she played to help her team reach the final.

She pulled up injured in the warm-up of the Euros final and could not play in the game.

Popp has represented Germany at the Olympics and has won a gold and bronze medal.

At club level she has won three Champions League titles, seven Frauen Bundesliga trophies and 11 German Cups.
