Iceland vs England kick-off time

Iceland vs England kicks off on 18 Apr at 12:30 EST and 17:30 GMT.

Match preview

This landmark fixture finds England in high spirits following a massive 1-0 victory over Spain at Wembley earlier this week, a result that propelled Sarina Wiegman’s side to the top of the qualifying group. While the Lionesses already secured a 2-0 win against Iceland back in March at the City Ground, a trip to Reykjavik presents an entirely different challenge, especially with the home side coming off their own morale-boosting win.

Iceland has proven to be a stubborn opponent, and they’ll be eager to use the home-field advantage to disrupt England’s pursuit of automatic qualification for Brazil 2027. With only the group winners guaranteed a direct ticket to the finals, England knows that anything less than three points could leave the door open for Spain to reclaim the lead.

Key stats & injury news

The statistical narrative highlights a period of dominance for England, who have kept things tidy at the back throughout the early stages of this campaign, including that professional clean sheet in the reverse fixture. On the injury front, the Lionesses are managing a few notable absences; Alex Greenwood was forced to withdraw from the squad earlier this week with a minor muscle injury, joining long-term absentees Niamh Charles and Beth Mead on the sidelines.

Iceland will also have to be at their defensive best to contain Georgia Stanway, who found the net in the last meeting, and Lauren Hemp, who is in world-class form following her match-winner against Spain. If Iceland can weather the early storm and exploit England's reshuffled backline, they might just find the breakthrough they lacked in Nottingham.

How to watch on the Big Screen

Watching on your phone or laptop is fine, but live sports belongs on the big screen. Here is how to get the VPN working on your TV:

• Smart TVs & Fire Stick: Most Android-based TVs and devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick or Google Chromecast with Google TV have native VPN apps. Simply search for your VPN provider in the app store on your TV, log in, and connect just like you would on your phone.
• Apple TV, Roku & Consoles: These devices often don't support direct VPN apps. The easiest workaround is to use Smart DNS (usually found in your VPN account settings) or Mirror/Cast the stream from your VPN-connected phone or laptop to your TV.
