Match Preview
The FIFA Women’s World Cup Brazil 2027 takes place from 24 June to 25 July 2027 across eight host cities including Rio de Janeiro’s iconic Maracanã, São Paulo, Brasília and Fortaleza, making this the first Women’s World Cup staged in South America and the most ambitious edition in the history of the tournament. The 2027 Women’s World Cup expands to 32 teams, with 64 matches spread across more than a month of football that will see Europe’s leading nations — including England’s Lionesses — compete against the best from the Americas, Africa, Asia and Oceania for the sport’s greatest prize. The tournament is expected to build significantly on the extraordinary success of the 2023 Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, which generated record attendances and global viewership figures that confirmed women’s football as one of the genuinely unmissable pillars of the international sporting calendar. For London fans, the Women’s World Cup arrives in the height of British summer and the group stage through to the knockout rounds will be screened extensively on free-to-air and subscription television across the city’s sports bars and dedicated football venues. England’s games will generate particular interest, with the Lionesses among the tournament’s leading contenders and the strength of women’s football’s fanbase in London — built through the growth of WSL clubs and national team success — ensuring that Women’s World Cup watch parties in London will be among the most passionate and enthusiastic of the year.
