Women’s summer of sport 2025: Dates, times and where to watch

This is a defining summer for women’s sport: the Lionesses are hungry to defend their 2022 Euro victory and the Red Roses are the favourite to win the Rugby World Cup on home turf. Women’s sport is more visible than ever and 38% of girls now dream of becoming top athletes. But visibility isn’t everything. Deliberate actions must be made on the ground so girls’ dreams can be met with opportunity. Join us in making this summer more than a moment and kickstarting a grassroots revolution. By tuning in to the 2025 summer of women’s sport, you’re helping us send the message that women’s sport is here to stay.
