England’s Lionesses will celebrate their Euro 2025 win with an open top bus parade in London: date, location and what you need to know

The Lionesses have made history once again after defending their Euros title in an electric, excruciating, edge-of-your seat final on Sunday.

Sarina Wiegman’s team defied the odds in Basel’s St. Jakob-Park, beating bookies’ favourites Spain in a penalty shootout. Now, they’re the only England team to have won back-to-back titles and first senior England football team to have a major trophy on foreign soil. All that’s left now is for the trophy to come home.

A huge parade and ceremony has been lined up to welcome the girls back after their second spectacular Euros victory. Here’s all the key info you need ahead of the Lioness’s victory parade back in London. 

When is the Lioness’s trophy parade? 

The Lionesses will cruise through central London on an open-top bus on Tuesday, July 29, starting at 12.10pm. Then, there’ll be a ceremony at around 12.30, hosted by former Lioness Alex Scott. 

Where is it? 

The bus will cruise from the north-east end of the Mall towards Buckingham Palace, before stopping for the ceremony at the Queen Victoria Memorial. 

Best places to watch the Lioness trophy parade

If you want to celebrate the back-to-back Euros champions in person, situate yourself somewhere along the Mall.  The FA warns that it’ll get very, very crowded, so arrive nice and early to ensure you get a good spot. 

In a statement announcing the parade, the FA said: ‘Further details on the homecoming celebration event, including general guidance, timings and travel information, will be shared in due course. London is going to be very busy so people should plan their visits carefully, both coming into central London and travelling home.’

How to watch the parade on TV

Both the parade and the ceremony will be broadcast live on BBC, ITV and Sky from 12pm until 1pm.
