FIFA releases schedule for 2027 Women’s World Cup

FIFA has revealed the match schedule for the 2027 Women’s World Cup in Brazil, setting the dates and venues for all 64 matches across eight host cities. The tournament will commence with hosts Brazil opening at the iconic Estádio do Maracanã in Rio de Janeiro on June 24, followed by group-stage matches at Arena Itaquera in São Paulo and Estádio Nacional in Brasília.

Each host city will host at least seven matches, with Brasília, Porto Alegre, Recife, and Salvador staging matches through the Round of 16. Quarter-final, semi-final, and final matches will be held at Belo Horizonte, Fortaleza, Rio de Janeiro, and São Paulo, respectively. FIFA President Gianni Infantino emphasized the opportunity to showcase women's football growth and fan participation.

The schedule balances sporting fairness and fan experience, ensuring every host city contributes to the event. The Maracanã, set to host its third women’s World Cup final, joins two other historic stadiums. The final draw will occur later this year, allowing fans to plan their trips to Brazil.
