The 2029 UEFA Women's Championship will be the 15th edition of the UEFA Women's Championship, the quadrennial international football championship organised by UEFA for the women's national teams of Europe. The tournament will be played in summer 2029. It will be the fourth edition since it was expanded to 16 teams.

Host selection

The bidding process is due to start in late 2024.[1][2]

Confirmed bids

Only one declaration of interest has been made as of March 2024[update] to host the tournament:

  •  Denmark and  Sweden – After the two nations failed to receive the 2025 hosting rights with Finland and Norway, president of the Swedish federation, Fredrik Reinfeldt said they would look into potentially bidding in the future.[3] On 8 February, before the 2024 UEFA Congress in Paris, Denmark and Sweden expressed an interest in hosting the event.[4][5] The four Nordics planned to bid again, but after the evaluation report for 2025 stated the likelihood of winning would increase with only two co-hosts, Denmark and Sweden decided to pair up.[6][7] Norway was reportedly disappointed with their decision and wants to negotiate with them about the joining the bid.[8][9]
