When is the Women’s World Cup 2023?

The Women’s World Cup will start on July 20 and will run until August 20, 2023.

The first day will feature three matches in New Zealand and Australia: New Zealand v Norway, Australia v Republic of Ireland and Nigeria v Canada. The opening day of the Women’s World Cup starts bright and early for American fans, starting at 3 a.m. ET.

On which channel is the Women’s World Cup shown?

Since 2015, Fox has held the English-language broadcast rights to the Women’s World Cup in the United States. Telemundo will broadcast coverage in Spanish. Both networks will show every one of the 64 games live.

Of the 64 matches, Fox will broadcast 29 – including all quarter-finals, semi-finals and the final – on its main network over-the-air (which you likely already have on your TV). The rest will air on Fox Sports 1, which might be a little trickier to get to.

If you don’t have access to Fox and FS1 (or Telemundo), see our recommendations to help you watch the Women’s World Cup in 2023.

What is the time difference for the 2023 Women’s World Cup?

This year’s Women’s World Cup will be held in five cities in Australia and four in New Zealand, with the 64 matches split among ten venues. The two nations of Oceania are the first co-hosts of the Women’s World Cup. What does this mean for American football fans? You may want to stock up on coffee.

The time difference in this year’s World Cup is inconvenient to say the least. These nine host cities are located across four time zones, anywhere between 12 and 16 hours ahead of US Eastern Time. Fortunately, the US team plays the first two games at 9 PM EST (6 PM PT). Unfortunately, Game 3 for the USWNT is at 3 a.m. ET. So, in order to catch Megan Rapinoe, Trinity Rodman, and more of your favorite USWNT players live in the fray, you’ll need to set your alarm accordingly. For more information on the USWNT heading into the World Cup, check out Yahoo Sports’ guide to following the US team through the tournament.

Of the 64 total matches, 54 started between 12:30 am and 7 am ET. Half of the elimination matches start between 3 am and 5 am ET. So be sure to set those alarms! And if you can’t tune in to a late-night game, Yahoo Sports will provide you with updates.
