Women's World Cup TV Schedule & How to Watch
Last updated: 8/22/2023
If you're looking for the Women's World Cup TV schedule, we've got you covered (jump down to the schedule). Hosted by Australia / New Zealand, in the states, Fox holds the English broadcast rights while Telemundo has the Spanish. When there are multiple matches or Fox and Telemundo are busy, games will also be broadcast on FS1 and Universo. Peacock Premium will be broadcasting games in Spanish. Most cable and satellite providers have all those channels covered but with streaming, it depends on the provider. Keep on reading for our suggestions, including where you can get a free trial and other perks.
World Cup 2023 on fuboTV - our recommended service
For most needs and especially Spanish-language coverage, we recommend fuboTV. Their fubo Latino plan goes for as low as $24.99/mo and includes Telemundo and Universo. If you want English commentary as well, consider upgrading to the Pro plan ($74.99/mo). All their plans come with a 7-day free trial, so plenty of time to try things out before you commit.
Streaming providers with and without the World Cup Channels
Here's a quick breakdown of all the providers that do and do not carry the World Cup channels (Fox, FS1, Telemundo and Universo). Fox is a local channel so you'll need a provider that offers locals in your area - all with checkmarks below do, except for Peacock. Speaking of which, Peacock Premium is owned by NBCUniversal (who also own Telemundo) -- so, you'll get Spanish-language coverage there as well. It's the cheapest option at $4.99/mo.
The first edition in the southern hemisphere, the 2023 World Cup promises to be a fun and competitive tourney. 32 of the best women's soccer teams in the world descend on Australia on July 20th for nearly 4 weeks of non-stop futbol. This is the first time the Women's World Cup has expanded to 64 matches (just like the Men's). So, you'll get just as many games during the 30 days. Matches will be hosted in Australia and New Zealand. The Group Match games run from July 20th to Aug 3rd. A much-needed rest day is scheduled right after, on Aug 4th. Here are all the important dates:
Group Stage: July 20 - Aug 3
Round of Sixteen: Aug 5 - Aug 8
rest: Aug 9 - Aug 10
Quarterfinals: Aug 11 - Aug 12
rest: Aug 13 - Aug 14
Semifinals: Aug 15 - Aug 16
rest: Aug 17 - Aug 18
Finals: Aug 19 - Aug 20
For all 64 matches, Fox Sports will produce the English-language games in the states. So, you'll get their in-game broadcasters and studio hosts (of course, non Fox channels will be adding their commentaries as well, so mix it up as you like in between games).
Since it's during summer in the states and Fox covers some MLB and other sports on the weekends, expect plenty of weekend World Cup games to be pushed to Fox Sports 1 (which fortunately most people have). If not, head over to Telemundo or Universo for the Spanish coverage (which some actually prefer for the extra flavor and goooals). Check out the match-ups, times and stadiums for all the games below:
Note: all times below are Eastern and there are no full rest days (zero games) until Aug 4th. Group stage match-ups were determined after the Final Draw (a few weeks before the start of the tourney).
Since both providers have FOX, FS1, Telemundo and Universo on most of their plans, you'll get just about the same coverage with both DISH and DIRECTV. DIRECTV may dedicate a special channel to multiple, split-screen views of live matches (eg, like their SportsMix channel for the NFL that lets you watch up to 6 games at once). That hasn't been confirmed but it would make sense. DISH has similar channels, though they're generally not as user-friendly. Overall, though, you'll pretty much get the same access with DISH, DIRECTV and just about any cable/streaming service out there (of course, DVR space, etc factor in as well if you'll be recording the majority of the games).
