With the UEFA Women’s Euro 2025 heating up, fans across the UK are not only rooting for the Lionesses to lift the trophy again — they’re also wondering: Will we get a bank holiday if England wins?
In 2022, England’s women’s team made history, and there was a strong public push for a bank holiday in celebration. Though one wasn’t officially declared then, the idea sparked political debate. Now in 2025, with the Lionesses once again eyeing victory, the question resurfaces.
What Has the Government Said?
Keir Starmer, current UK Prime Minister, hinted during his campaign that an “extra bank holiday” could be considered if the Lionesses secure another major victory. Public enthusiasm and calls on social media (#BankHolidayForLionesses) are gaining momentum.
Is Tomorrow a Bank Holiday?
At the time of writing, there is no official confirmation of a bank holiday tomorrow or any special leave tied to the Euros 2025 outcome. But announcements could come quickly if England wins the final.
Bank Holidays in 2025 – UK Overview
There are several UK bank holidays already scheduled in 2025. However, an additional bank holiday could be declared, just like the one after the Queen’s Jubilee or royal weddings.
Will We Get a Day Off If England Wins?
The chances depend on:
-
Government announcement post-final.
-
Public and political pressure.
-
Impact of England’s win on national morale.
Why an Extra Bank Holiday Matters
From boosting public spirit to celebrating sporting excellence, an extra day off would be symbolic of national pride and unity — much like when England’s men’s team brought football home in the past.
