July 2025 - The Licensing Act 2003 (UEFA Women's European Football Championship Licensing Hours) Order 2025 -relaxed licensing hours
This order will relax licensing hours in England and Wales for the 2025 UEFA women's European championship, subject to any of the competing home nation team (England or Wales) reaching the semi-final(s) or final of the tournament.
The order will apply to premises already licensed until 11pm for the sale of alcohol for consumption on the premises in England and Wales. The order will extend the licensing hours for such premises from 11pm to 1am the following day on the days of the semi-final(s) (22 July 2025 and/or 23 July 2025) and final (27 July 2025) of the tournament should the criteria of the contingent order be met.
The Government consider the semi-finals and final of the tournament to be an occasion of exceptional national significance and an extension to licensing hours will enable communities to come together at their local licensed premises to support any of the home nation teams if they reach the later stages of the tournament and celebrate any subsequent success. This will also provide support to the hospitality sector by enabling businesses to extend their trading hours if they so wish.
