A report by Moonshot found that the majority of the social media posts remained up several days after the final, despite being reported.

It was the most-watched moment on TV this year, with ITV recording a peak of 4.2m viewers during the final. ITV attracted an audience of 10.2m for England’s semi-final win over Italy, which was the channel’s biggest audience for 2025.

Spain, 2023 World Cup champions, will place their technical mastery against England, 2022 Euro champions, and tournament lionhearts. The margins for error between the two sides are slim but just enough for each squad to feel confident about their chances.
