The 2025 UEFA Women's Championship will be the 14th edition of the UEFA Women's Championship, the quadrennial international football championship organised by UEFA for the women's national teams of Europe. The tournament will be played in Switzerland from 2 to 27 July 2025. It will be the third edition since it was expanded to 16 teams. It will be the first time that the senior women's European football tournament will be held in a landlocked country. The tournament will return to its usual four-year cycle after the previous tournament was indirectly delayed to 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Host selection

Applications were submitted in August 2022,[1] while final submissions were made in October.[2] Switzerland were selected as hosts of the tournament on 4 April 2023 at the UEFA Executive Committee in Lisbon, Portugal. To be appointed as hosts, an absolute majority of votes was needed in the first round. If the first vote did not produce an absolute majority, the two bids with the most votes would advance to a second and final round. As the first round produced a three-way tie for first, a ballot was used to determine which two bidders would proceed to the second round.[3]

Qualification

Qualified teams

All 55 UEFA national teams were able to submit an entry for the competition by 23 March 2023 at the latest.[15] This involved participation in both the inaugural 2023–24 UEFA Women's Nations League and UEFA Women's Euro 2025 qualifying.

In total, 51 teams entered the qualifying competition.[16] Russia were not permitted to enter the competition, as Russian teams had been suspended indefinitely from UEFA and FIFA competitions in 28 February 2022 due to their country's invasion of Ukraine.[17] In addition, Gibraltar, Liechtenstein and San Marino did not submit an entry.

The following teams will qualify or qualified for the final tournament alongside host Switzerland.
