England vs Nigeria live stream: How to watch Women’s World Cup 2023 knockout game free online right now

The England vs Nigeria live stream will see the Lionesses look to book their place at the Women’s World Cup quarter-final as they face a Nigeria side that have already caused an upset at this tournament  — and you can watch it from anywhere with a VPN.

England came into the Women’s World Cup 2023 under a cloud of injuries, having lost three key players (Leah Williamson, Beth Mead and Fran Kirby) before a ball was even kicked. A sluggish 1-0 win against Haiti did little to settle the nerves, and when influential midfielder Keira Walsh was stretchered off with a knee injury against Denmark, England’s tournament looked in danger of spiraling. However, a scintillating 6-1 win over China, and the remarkable form of Lauren James, has the reigning European champions bouncing in this first knockout round having topped Group D with maximum points. 

Meanwhile, Nigeria finished as runner-up in Group B at the expense of Canada and Ireland, and while the side only won a single group game, this result came against the odds as they beat joint tournament hosts Australia 3-2 to shock the home crowd. Nigeria will hope to flip the script once again when they face England at the Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane. If the Super Falcons are to progress expect five-time African Women’s Footballer of the Year winner Asisat Osholala to play a key role. The Barcelona striker had a relatively quiet group stage, but is the squad’s talisman and is ranked as one of the best in her position in the world. 

Here's how they line up: 

England: Earps, Bronze, Greenwood, Bright, Carter, Daly, Walsh, Stanway, Hemp, James, Russo.

Nigeria: Nnadozie, Plumptre, Ohale, Onumonu, Payne, Ucheibe, Kanu, Demehin, Ajibade, Ayinde, Alozie.

The England vs Nigeria live stream should be a thrilling encounter as both these sides look to secure a place in the quarter-finals. You won’t want to miss this one and below you’ll find all the details you need in order to watch the match online and from anywhere in the world.
