The Lionesses' road to the 2027 Women's World Cup explained
"But after reaching the World Cup final in Sydney in 2023 and falling just short, Sarina Wiegman's side have already turned their focus to the next challenge - qualification for the 2027 tournament in Brazil. England, along with the rest of Europe, will discover their road to South America on Tuesday November 4, when the draw for Women's World Cup qualifiers for UEFA teams is made."
"The 2025 Women's Nations League has dictated the European qualifiers, dividing 52 teams into three leagues. There will be 16 teams (four groups of 4) in League A, 16 (four groups of 4) in League B and 21 (seven groups of 3) in League C. Each country will play one home match and one away match against the other countries in their group."
"England are in League A, Scotland and Wales will be in League B, while Northern Ireland's Nations League play-off outcome will determine their league. They will be in League A if they can overturn a 2-0 first-leg deficit against Iceland in the return leg on Wednesday 29 October, after the match was postponed from Tuesday due to snow.
