When is the 2023 Women’s World Cup?
The Women’s World Cup opens on July 20 and runs through August 20, 2023.
Day one will feature three games played across New Zealand and Australia: New Zealand vs. Norway, Australia vs. the Republic of Ireland, and Nigeria vs. Canada. Opening day of the Women’s World Cup kicks off bright and early for U.S. audiences, beginning at 3 a.m. ET.
What channel is the Women’s World Cup on?
Since 2015, Fox has the English-language broadcast rights to the Women’s World Cup in the United States. Telemundo will broadcast the Spanish-language coverage. Both Networks will show each of the 64 games live.
Of the 64 games, Fox will air 29 — including all of the quarterfinals, semifinals, and final — on its flagship, over-the-air network (which you likely already have on your TV). The rest will air on Fox Sports 1, which might be trickier for you to access.
