How to watch the World Cup in the US
There are two key ways to watch the Women's World Cup in the US.
First, Fox is going to be airing the games on its main channel as well as Fox Sports channels. If your cable subscription includes Fox channels then you're sorted, but if not you can use live TV streaming services such as FuboTV, Sling TV (on its Blue plan), Hulu with Live TV and YouTube TV, all of which have your Fox needs sorted.
In our fixtures list below, you can see whether each game is on Fox or Fox Sports 1, with the matches split fairly evenly between the two.
Alternatively, there's Telemundo, which is running Spanish-language coverage of the games. That means you'll also be able to watch using a $4.99-per-month subscription to Peacock, as Telemundo games are simulcast there.
With the tournament taking place in the Southern Hemisphere for the first time, matches kick off quite early in the morning for most Americans, with the earliest fixtures of the group stage taking place at 3 am ET/midnight PT.
USA Women's group fixtures are as follows
- Friday, July 21: USA vs Vietnam, 8 pm ET/5 pm PT
- Wednesday, July 26: USA vs Netherlands, 8 pm ET/5 pm PT
- Tuesday, August 1: Portugal vs USA, 2 am ET/11 pm PT (the day before)
