Introducing The Cutback's Euro 2025 and WAFCON coverage

Website, live chats, in-person events, we'll be delivering more coverage than any other outlet this summer

The start of Euro 2025 and the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations is just around the corner and I’m excited to share our plans for these exciting tournaments.

Those of you who have been following The Cutback’s journey will know that from launch, our focus has been about going deeper on all the big stories, games and moments. I’ve been on a mission to try and give you, our subscribers, something that you can’t get anywhere else. And this summer, we’ll be delivering major-tournament coverage like you have never seen before.

Here’s what you can expect this summer:

• Free daily newsletter.

• Guest columns from former Scotland captain Rachel Corsie.

• Tactical previews of all 16 nations competing in Euro 2025, with The Underrated Scout.

• Ones to watch series highlighting the best young players at Euro 2025, with The Underrated Scout.

• Dedicated reporters covering England, Wales and Spain.

• Instant match pieces from key games.

• In-depth match analysis on games across the group stage, quarter-finals, semi-finals and the final.

• Live chats for all England games and other major matches.

• Exclusive access to a reserved number of tickets at Baller FC’s London watch parties.

It doesn’t stop there. We’re also going to have coverage from this summer’s Women’s Africa Cup of Nations, which is taking place from 5 to 26 July in Morocco. We’ll have writers on the ground giving you an insight into the big matches and stories from WAFCON.

To access all of this amazing content make sure you upgrade to a paid subscription. There is a limited-time offer of 20% off, click the link to sign up.

There will be limited free-to-read content on the site and a paid sub will not just give you access to all of the content on The Cutback, but also live chats and live event tickets. Don’t forget, paid subscribers can start live chat threads whenever they like, so if you want to get the conversation going with your fellow readers, now is your chance!

Not everything we produce this summer will be mailed direct to your inboxes so please make sure you visit the website or explore The Cutback via the Substack app. There’s so much content available across the site and we want to make sure you get the chance to read it all.

We’ve put together a real avengers team for this summer with some of the most exciting women’s football writers working with The Cutback, including Yash Thakur, Theo Lloyd-Hughes, Max Radwan, Alex Ibaceta, Sion Misra, and of course the team at The Underrated Scout.

I’ll be out in Switzerland covering England as well as the rest of the tournament, but before I head out there I’ll be going to Baller FC’s massive watch party extravaganza in London on 5 July.

If you’d like to join me and around 600 others at this huge festival over Pride weekend in London, and alongside England and Wales’ Euro 2025 openers, then click the link here for tickets. Subscribers get access to exclusive reserved tickets and a special discount with code CUTBACKSLAY.

There’s an exclusive ticket code for Baller’s screenings on 9 July (England-Netherlands) and 13 July (England-Wales). So make sure you sign up to paid to get that exclusive code mailed to your inbox because those games will sell out.

I hope to see lots of you at watch parties or out in Switzerland this summer. In the meantime, thank you for your continued support, we couldn’t deliver this coverage without you.

Let’s enjoy another brilliant summer of football!
