England were drawn in Group A2 with France, Austria and Portugal in the 2027 Women's Nations League draw in Nyon, Switzerland. The competition also forms part of the qualification pathway for the 2028 Olympic Games and Euro 2029.
England's group and schedule
England will begin their campaign across three international windows in February-March, April and June 2027. Each team will play home and away fixtures, and the four League A group winners will progress to the semi-finals in October 2027 before the final decides the Nations League champions.
Fixture dates and venues will be confirmed in due course. The Nations League is now in its third edition.
Wiegman on France and Portugal
Wiegman said: "France are a world-class team."
She added: "They have so much quality, they have power, they have technique and they have some players, of course, also playing in the WSL and at other top clubs."
Wiegman said: "So it's exciting to play them because you will be challenged in the highest possible way and that's what makes us better."
On Portugal, Wiegman said: "We played Portugal before the last Euros, when we tied with them away and at home we beat them."
She added: "They're a team who can change their style from playing a possession game to being a little more direct, and they have some players that bring lots of quality on the pitch, but are also powerful in duels."
Other home nations and Ireland groups
Scotland will face Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden. The Republic of Ireland were drawn against Spain, Norway and Switzerland, while Wales will play Denmark, Italy and Iceland.
Northern Ireland, in Group B3, will play Poland, Finland and Belarus.
