Sarina Wiegman's side will face the world and Nations League champions for the first time since the August 2023 World Cup final, where they lost 1-0 in Australia.
The Lionesses are joined in Group A3 by Belgium, who stunned England in the previous edition of the tournament with a 3-2 win in Leuven last October, and Portugal.
During the October international break, England were beaten 4-3 by Germany, but responded with a 2-1 triumph over South Africa.
They face Emma Hayes' United States at Wembley in an international friendly at the end of this month before taking on Switzerland in December before the tournament starts.
바카라It바카라s an exciting draw. We have Spain 바카라 a top, world-class team 바카라 which I think is exciting because it바카라s another opportunity to play at that level," Wiegman said.
바카라It바카라s really good that we play Belgium because in the last Nations League we lost when we played them away, and we really underperformed.
"We can prove to ourselves now that we can do much better than that in the two games. I바카라m happy with that one, they바카라re tough.
바카라Portugal are a very talented team. We played them before we went to the World Cup, and we drew with them.
"We had a lot of the ball, but we couldn바카라t score, and they were very dangerous on the counter-attack. They have a lot of technical players.
바카라There are different opponents, and I바카라m really looking forward to it because we바카라ll be challenged in different areas of the game. And of course we바카라ll give them challenges too.바카라
