Arnold Clark Cup 2023: how to watch England Lioness fixtures on UK TV - team, schedule and KO time vs Korea

The four-team round-robin tournament returns for its second year with England in good stead to defend their 2022 title. This competition, which will feature Belgium, Italy and South Korea along with England and the Lionesses’ manager, Sarina Wiegman has described it as the ‘perfect preparation’ ahead of this summer’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.

Speaking ahead of the tournament, which runs in a similar way to the American SheBelieves Cup, the Dutch manager said “Everything we do now is about being ready for the World Cup. It’s great to have the opportunity to defend this title in front of our fans.

“Facing three different, good oppositions - each with a different style of play - and playing three matches in seven days is the perfect preparation for the challenges that await us in the summer.”
