The Women's World Cup began today in Australia and New Zealand! Set to be the biggest-ever edition of the tournament—the field expanded from 24 teams to 32 teams—it's an exciting time for women's soccer. It's also the first time the tournament will have two host nations.

While the U.S. women are still the favorites to win, it's definitely tougher competition this year, with England, Spain, Germany, and France showing up with formidable teams. Here's how to watch the Women's World Cup—and when the U.S. Women's National Team (USWNT) is playing:

Where to watch and stream the World Cup:

On television, all the matches will air on Fox (in English) and Telemundo Deportes (in Spanish). They will also be available to watch on FS1, FOXSports.com, and the FOX Sports App. Unfortunately, most matches will take place in the middle of the night—or very early in the morning—for U.S. viewers. The first match of the world cup was New Zealand versus Norway at 3 a.m. eastern this morning.

On streaming, you can watch the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup on Peacock (in Spanish), or you can stream Fox with YouTube TV, Fubo or SlingTV.
