Women’s World Cup 2023: Full schedule, fixtures, group tables, venues and odds for tournament
England head Down Under as one of the favourites for victory following last year’s fairytale European Championship triumph on home soil.
However, the Lionesses’ chances of winning the World Cup for the very first time have been hampered by a pre-tournament injury crisis that has deprived them of influential captain Leah Williamson and talismanic striker Beth Mead, among others.
But Sarina Wiegman’s side should still represent a force to be reckoned with this summer, while the USA are once again being widely tipped for success having won each of the last two titles in France and Canada respectively.
The iconic Megan Rapinoe will be eager to sign off in style having recently announced her intention to retire at the end of the current season.
The likes of Spain, Germany, France, Sweden and the Netherlands are among the other teams hoping to be in the mix this year, while co-hosts Australia, led by WSL top scorer Sam Kerr of Chelsea, are certainly not to be underestimated.
Here are the World Cup fixtures coming up, plus tables, TV info and more…
