Women’s World Cup 2027 host cities

The Women’s World Cup 2027 will be played across eight Brazilian host cities. All eight share the same UTC−3 offset, and Brazil does not observe daylight saving time, so every kickoff in the tournament converts off one number.

Rio de Janeiro · São Paulo · Belo Horizonte · Brasília · Fortaleza · Recife · Salvador · Porto Alegre

Rio de Janeiro

Estádio do Maracanã · capacity 73,139 · UTC−3

Hosts both the opening match on Thursday the 24th of June and the final on Sunday the 25th of July.

São Paulo

Brazil’s largest city and its busiest international gateway.

Belo Horizonte

Estádio Mineirão · capacity 66,658 · UTC−3

One of the largest capacities in the tournament.

Brasília

Estádio Nacional · capacity 69,910 · UTC−3

The purpose-built federal capital, in the centre of the country.

Fortaleza

Arena Castelão · capacity 57,867 · UTC−3

The north-eastern coast, and the shortest hop to Europe and West Africa.

Recife

Arena de Pernambuco · capacity 45,440 · UTC−3

The easternmost host city.

Salvador

Arena Fonte Nova · capacity 47,915 · UTC−3

On the Bahian coast, north of Rio.

Porto Alegre

Estádio Beira-Rio · capacity 50,848 · UTC−3

The southernmost host city, closest to Argentina and Uruguay.

Why the single time zone matters

Brazil spans four time zones in total, but none of the 2027 host cities fall outside UTC−3 — Manaus, which hosted in 2014, is not on the list. For anyone planning around the tournament from abroad, that removes the venue-by-venue drift that made the 2026 schedule awkward: there, a match in Vancouver and a match in Miami were three hours apart before you started converting to your own clock.

Match allocations per city follow the fixture schedule, which has not yet been published. See the tournament hub for key dates.
