In the UEFA Women’s Nations League, the Austrian women's national team has been drawn into a highly attractive, albeit challenging group. Head coach Lars Söndergaard's side will face European champions England, France, and Portugal.
On Friday, the ÖFB announced the schedule for these blockbuster clashes. The exact venues and kick-off times are yet to be confirmed.
England double-header in April
The ÖFB Women will kick off the new Nations League campaign with an away match. On March 2, 2027, they travel to France before hosting Portugal on March 6.
April then brings the double-header against reigning European champions England. The star-studded squad featuring players such as Alessia Russo, Georgia Stanway, and Chloe Kelly will first host Austria on April 18. On April 23, the ÖFB team can look forward to a football festival in front of their home crowd against the English.
The Nations League campaign wraps up with an away fixture against Portugal on June 11, followed by the grand finale at home against France on June 15.
World Cup play-off on the horizon
Before the Nations League fixtures arrive, the red-white-red women's team has another major objective in sight: qualifying for a World Cup for the very first time.
The play-off for a place at Brazil 2027 against Switzerland will take place on December 1, 2026, in Bern, and on December 5 at the Franz Horr Stadium in Vienna.
