World Cup: See all the groups for 2023 in Australia and New Zealand

The 2023 World Cup is just around the corner, less than a month away. Games will kick off on July 20 as the co-host nations – New Zealand and Australia – open the tournament on the first matchday. New Zealand will face Norway in Auckland, and then Australia will take on Ireland in Sydney.

On July 22, the two-time reigning World Cup champs – the USWNT – will open its title defense with a game against Vietnam. The Americans, led by Alex Morgan, are favored to three-peat as champs.

The World Cup bracket features eight groups made up of four teams each, making it a complete 32-team tournament. In each group, the two teams with the best records advance to the survive-and-advance knockout stage.

Before the World Cup gets underway, here’s a closer look at each group.
