Fox announced Tuesday that its 2023 Women’s World Cup programming schedule will feature 29 matches on over-the-air Fox, the most Women’s World Cup matches ever on a U.S. English-language broadcast network. The tournament, which runs from Thursday, July 20 through August 20 in Australia and New Zealand, features 64 matches live across Fox and FS1 with every match live streaming on the Fox Sports App.
’s No. 1 ranked team and back-to-back champions. No country has ever won three consecutive Women’s World Cups.All U.S. group-stage matches will air on Fox. The USWNT opens against Vietnam on July 21 at 9:00 p.m. ET from Eden Park in Auckland, New Zealand. The second group stage match opponent is the Netherlands on July 26 at 9:00 p.m. ET from Wellington Regional Stadium in New Zealand.
The USWNT’s final group stage match comes against Portugal on Aug. 1, at 3:00 a.m. ET from Eden Park.When a major media company with sports rights opts to put programming on its over-the-air channel as opposed to cable or a streaming product, it’s a clear sign of investment for the property. This is simply smart business.
Four years ago the U.S.’s win over the Netherlands in the Women’s World Cup final averaged 14.3 million viewers despite the game being held at 11:00 a.m. ET/8:00 a.m. PT. The 2015 Women’s World Cup final between the United States and Japan averaged a massive 25.4 million viewers on Fox in primetime . The audience is clearly there. —
