Spain vs Ukraine kick-off time
Spain vs Ukraine kicks off on 18 Apr at 10:00 EST and 15:00 GMT.
Match preview
Spain enters this Matchday 4 fixture with a point to prove after a narrow 1-0 defeat to England earlier this week. That result at Wembley snapped a strong run of form and has intensified the race at the top of Group A3. Despite the recent setback, Sonia Bermudez’s side remains the heavy favourite, having already dispatched Ukraine 3-1 in the reverse fixture back in March.

For Ukraine, the challenge is steep; they are coming off a tough 1-0 loss to Iceland and desperately need a result to stay within touching distance of the playoff spots. While Spain will likely dominate possession and dictate the tempo with their signature technical style, Ukraine has shown they can be organised and difficult to break down, meaning the hosts will need to be clinical to avoid a frustrating afternoon.
Key stats & injury news
History favours the hosts, as Spain has a perfect record against Ukraine in recent competitive meetings, outscoring them significantly over the last few years. Spain is currently navigating the recovery of a few key squad members following the physical battle at Wembley, with the medical staff monitoring minor knocks to ensure the starting XI is at full strength.
Ukraine is facing its own selection hurdles, specifically looking for more clinical finishing after failing to find the net in their last outing against Iceland. Keep an eye on Alexia Putellas and Aitana Bonmati, who are expected to lead the creative charge for La Roja, while Ukraine will rely heavily on their defensive structure to withstand the early pressure. A win for Spain would all but secure their trajectory toward automatic qualification, while a surprise result for Ukraine would be one of the biggest upsets of the qualifying cycle.

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.
