England Women will attempt to defend their SheBelieves Cup title in 2020, returning to the tournament for a fifth successive year.

The Lionesses were crowned champions in last year's competition after finishing top of the group with wins over Brazil and Japan and a draw against world champions USA.

This year's SheBelieves Cup takes place in March, with England beginning against hosts USA in Orlando on March 5, before taking on Japan in Harrison on March 8 and ending against newcomers Spain in Frisco on March 11.

"It is a tournament we always look forward to in the fixture calendar, the high tempo and intensity of the competition provides a great test for our squad with matches taking place every few days, as well as offering our players the opportunity to play in front of large crowds in excellent stadiums.
