Frequently asked questions
When is the Women’s World Cup 2027?
It runs from Thursday the 24th of June to Sunday the 25th of July 2027, in Brazil. Thirty-two teams play 64 matches across eight host cities, with the group stage finishing on Thursday the 8th of July and the knockout rounds running from Saturday the 10th.
Where are the opening match and the final?
Both at the Estádio do Maracanã in Rio de Janeiro. Hosts Brazil open the tournament there on Thursday the 24th of June, and the final is played at the same ground on Sunday the 25th of July.
What time do Women’s World Cup 2027 matches kick off?
Kickoff times have not been announced yet — the schedule published on the 20th of August 2026 confirmed dates and venues only. All eight host cities sit at UTC−3 and Brazil does not observe daylight saving time, so one offset will cover the whole tournament. As soon as times are confirmed we will convert all 64 matches to your local time.
Which teams have qualified?
See the qualified teams for the current list, with the route and date for each one. Twenty-nine of the 32 places are awarded by the confederations, with hosts Brazil seeded into Group A; the last three go to the play-off tournament, a preliminary phase from the 24th of November to the 5th of December 2026 then a final phase from the 23rd of February to the 6th of March 2027. The group draw follows, so fixtures currently show placeholders rather than teams.
How does the watchability colour coding work?
Pick your timezone and the hours you’re free to watch (use the Set Your Hours button in the header). Each match is then coloured: green if you’re free, amber if it falls in your work hours, orange if it kicks off 10 PM–midnight, red if it’s overnight (midnight–6 AM). Defaults: free 06:00–08:00 and 17:00–22:00, weekends free all day.
