Arnold Clark Cup 2023: where to watch on TV, fixture schedule & squads

The Arnold Clark Cup returns in February for the second rendition of the invitational friendly tournament, with a new lineup of teams and stadiums.

England won the inaugural tournament in 2022, throwing Millie Bright up front in the dying stages to secure a last gasp victory over Germany and finish ahead of Spain and Canada in the final standings. Bright also secured an unlikely joint golden boot accolade with Ballon d'Or winner Alexia Putellas.

Arnold Clark Cup history

The Arnold Clark Cup first took place in 2022, with England, Germany, Canada and Spain the four competing teams. Middlesbrough's Riverside Stadium Norwich's Carrow Road and Wolverhampton Wanderers' Molineux were the three host venues.

After drawing with Olympic champions Canada and pre-Euro 2022 favourites Spain in their first two matches, England finished top of the pile on goal difference thanks to a 3-1 victory over Germany in their final match to win the 2022 Arnold Clark Cup.

With the scores tied at 1-1 heading into the last 10 minutes, centre back Millie Bright was thrust up front and netted soon after, before Fran Kirby wrapped up the victory. The Arnold Clark Cup victory was seen as a momentum boost for the Lionesses ahead of their subsequent Euro 2022 triumph.

Bright's goal against Germany was her second of the tournament, seeing her draw level at the top of the goalscoring charts with Barcelona midfielder Alexia Putellas. The pair shared the Arnold Clark Cup's inaugural golden boot.
