November internationals: who's playing and when

Katie McCabe celebrates scoring for Ireland

Before our Gunners return to the Barclays Women's Super League on December 8, you can watch them feature for their respective national teams.

It's time for the deciding round of the UEFA Euro 2025 qualifying as Ireland, Sweden, Norway and Austria all aim to book a spot in the competition. 14 sides go head-to-head across two legs to determine which seven teams will travel to Switzerland next summer. 

Katie McCabe will captain Ireland against Wales as the Girls in Green look to reach the European Championships for the very first time. Meanwhile, Stina Blackstenius and Rosa Kafaji will be in action to help Sweden qualify over Serbia.

Frida Maanum and Norway must defeat Northern Ireland to book their place in next summer's tournament, and Austria's Laura Wienroither and Manuela Zinsberger will go head-to-head against Poland.

Away from the European qualifiers, Steph Catley, Kyra Cooney-Cross and Caitlin Foord welcome Brazil to Australia for two friendlies (November 28, December 1).

Beth Mead, Alessia Russo, Leah Williamson and Lotte Wubben-Moy will host Emily Fox and her fellow Americans at Wembley Stadium (November 30) for a hotly anticipated friendly between the Lionesses and the US Women's National Team. England will later meet Euro 2025 hosts Switzerland for a friendly at Bramall Lane (December 3).

Mariona Caldentey and Laia Codina are also in friendly action for Spain as they take on Korea Republic (November 29) and France (December 3). 

Daphne van Domselaar takes her three consecutive clean sheets back home to the Netherlands as they face China (November 29) and then the USWNT (December 3) in friendlies.

Kathrine Kuhl and Denmark, meanwhile, have just one friendly fixture against Iceland (December 2). 

Six of our young Gunners are also in international action for the young Lionesses. Teyah Goldie, currently on loan with Championship side London City Lionesses, will feature for the England U23s, whilst Michelle Agyemang, Vivienne Lia, Maddy Earl, Sophie Harwood and Jessie Gale have been called up by the U19 side. 

England U19s have three fixtures during the block against Turkey, Italy and Poland to kick off their Under-19 European Championship qualifiers.
