Where is the Women’s World Cup 2027?
Brazil · eight host cities
Eight cities · one offset
The Women’s World Cup 2027 is in Brazil, played across eight host cities — Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Belo Horizonte, Brasília, Fortaleza, Recife, Salvador and Porto Alegre. 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
Estádio do Maracanã
Hosts both the opening match on Thursday the 24th of June and the final on Sunday the 25th of July.
São Paulo
Arena Itaquera
Brazil’s largest city and its busiest international gateway.
Belo Horizonte
Estádio Mineirão
One of the largest capacities in the tournament.
Brasília
Estádio Nacional
The purpose-built federal capital, in the centre of the country.
Fortaleza
Arena Castelão
The north-eastern coast, and the shortest hop to Europe and West Africa.
Recife
Arena de Pernambuco
The easternmost host city.
Salvador
Arena Fonte Nova
On the Bahian coast, north of Rio.
Porto Alegre
Estádio Beira-Rio
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. See the full match schedule for all 64 fixtures, the final at the Maracanã, or the tournament hub for key dates.
