Overview

  • Saturday’s final at Twickenham is officially sold out at about 82,000, with live coverage in the UK on BBC One and BBC iPlayer and resale tickets listed from roughly £224.
  • Top-ranked England enter on a dominant run with 62 wins in their last 63 Tests and a +191 pool-stage points differential before knockout wins over Scotland and France.
  • Canada booked their place by sweeping pool play and defeating two-time defending champion New Zealand 34-19 in the semifinal, part of an unbeaten 2025.
  • Rugby Canada committed $2.6 million to the program and a public ‘Mission: Win World Cup 2025’ drive reached about 95% of a $1 million target to fund training camps and warmup matches.
  • Assistant coach Sarah Hunter says England are focused on simple, clear processes and staying present as they chase a home title in front of a record crowd.
