England have been drawn to face Greece in the first round of the 2027 Women's World Cup play-offs. The Lionesses must navigate two rounds of home and away ties to secure their place at the tournament in Brazil.
Should England overcome Greece, they will face the winners of the Slovakia versus Ukraine tie, with the away fixture scheduled to be played first. The matches are set to take place throughout October, November, and December, though exact fixture dates are still to be confirmed.
England reached this stage after finishing as runners-up in their qualifying group, where Spain secured the automatic spot. Other home nations also discovered their paths to the World Cup: Wales will face Albania, Scotland play the Czech Republic, and Northern Ireland take on Portugal. Meanwhile, the Republic of Ireland have been drawn against Kazakhstan.
