How to Watch Women's World Cup 2027: Netflix, TV and Streams
For the first time, every Women's World Cup match in the United States will be shown on a streaming service instead of traditional TV.
That change has left many fans asking the same thing: where do I actually watch Brazil 2027?
The answer depends on where you live, and some countries are still waiting for a deal to be signed.
In the US and Canada, every Women's World Cup 2027 match streams live on Netflix, included in all plans. In the UK, the BBC and ITV share the tournament free-to-air, and in Brazil it's on TV Globo, SporTV and CazéTV.

Below you'll find how to watch in each country, which options are free and how kick-off times work from Brazil.
US and Canada: Netflix, every match, included in all plans. UK: BBC and ITV, free-to-air (BBC iPlayer, ITVX). Brazil: TV Globo (56 matches), SporTV (all 64) and CazéTV (all 64, free stream). Australia and other countries: to be confirmed.
