Sarina Wiegman’s side will return to Leicester for the second leg of their Round 1 play-off, following the opening game of the tie at the Pankritio Stadium in Heraklion on Friday 9 October.

The two fixtures will represent the first meetings between England and Greece in senior women’s international football, with both legs to be shown live on ITV Sport.

October’s game will be the Lionesses’ third appearance at King Power Stadium, following two memorable previous visits.

England recorded a 1-0 UEFA Women’s Nations League victory over Belgium in front of 28,321 supporters in October 2023, before over 25,000 fans returned to Filbert Way in June 2025 to see their final fixture ahead of UEFA Women’s EURO 2025 – a 7-0 win over Jamaica.

Leicester City Chief Executive Kevin Davies said: “We are proud to have been chosen to host England’s Lionesses for a third time and look forward to working with The FA to deliver another memorable evening at King Power Stadium.

“Their two previous visits have been excellent occasions, bringing large crowds to the stadium and showcasing women’s football to families and young supporters from across Leicester and the wider region.”

England Head Coach Sarina Wiegman said: “I am looking forward to getting the squad back together after having four months away. We know what our objective is for these two games and exactly what we need to do to qualify for next summer’s tournament in Brazil.

“Greece is a new opponent for us, which brings a different challenge. We will prepare thoroughly and be ready to perform across both matches.

“Leicester City’s stadium is a great venue and one where we have enjoyed positive experiences on our previous visits. We always receive fantastic support from our fans and are looking forward to feeling that energy again.”

Tickets for the game at King Power Stadium will go on sale exclusively to England+ members from Friday 21 August until Wednesday 26 August.

England+ is the new official membership for Lionesses supporters and includes priority access to tickets for home internationals. Any remaining tickets will go on General Sale from Thursday 27 August. Supporters can join England+ HERE.

Meanwhile, LCFC Women’s 2026/27 Barclays Women’s Super League 2 campaign begins away to Sheffield United on Sunday 6 September, before Durham visit King Power Stadium for the first home fixture on Sunday 13 September.

Season Tickets are now on General Sale, priced at £60 for Adults and £40 for Under-18s and Over-65s. Each Adult Season Ticket also provides the opportunity to apply for up to two free Season Tickets for children aged two to seven.
