 The 2023 Women's World Cup schedule is set as the FIFA tournament prepares to head to Australia and New Zealand for the first time. This is the ninth Women's World
Cup in history and will be the biggest yet with 32 teams competing across 64 games. The tournament is scheduled to kick off on July 20, 2023 in Auckland, New Zealand before concluding on August, 20 in Sydney, Australia. The USA will enter this latest Women's World Cup as defending champions, while England are chasing their first title having been crowned 2022 European champions. The Sporting News wraps up the complete schedule for the 2023 Women's World Cup
below. MORE: What is Tazuni? Explaining the new Women's World Cup mascot For the first time in Women's World Cup history, the 2023 edition will have an expanded field of 32 teams competing — eight more than the previous
tournament. That expansion means more matches will be played than ever before with 64 to take place across Australia and New Zealand. With two extra groups added to the mix for 2023, only the top-two teams will advance to the knockout stages. In 2019, the four best third-placed sides also progressed to the Round of 16, but that won't be the case in 2023. - Group stage: July 20-August 3
- Round of 16: August 5-8
- Quarterfinals:
August 11-12
- Semifinals: August 15-16
- Third-place playoff: August 19
- Final: August 20
When do Women's World Cup matches start in Australia and New Zealand?Kickoff times for the 2023 tournament have been released by FIFA and they are staggered
across the group stage to ensure multiple world time zones can be accommodated. The July-August window of the Women's World Cup falls in the winter season in Australia and New Zealand, so daytime heat won't be an issue. Women's World Cup 2023 kickoff times*
