After Euro 2020 and the Copa America, the Women’s Euro 2021 tournament has been postponed by a year to July 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
UEFA announced today that the European Championships will be hosted in England from July 6 to 31, 2022.
It had been due to kick off in July 2021, so that it will not clash with the postponed Euro 2020.
The same venues will still be used for these fixtures.

“When we had to take an urgent decision on the postponement of UEFA EURO 2020, we always had the impact on UEFA Women’s EURO 2021 in mind,” said UEFA President Aleksandar Ceferin.
“We have carefully considered all options, with our commitment to the growth of women’s football at the forefront of our thinking. By moving UEFA Women’s EURO to the following year, we are ensuring that our flagship women’s competition will be the only major football tournament of the summer, providing it with the spotlight it deserves.”
