We now have the schedule for the FIFA Women’s World Cup in Brazil in 2027 with 64 matches locked in across the eight host cities, including the opening game (24 June) and final (25 July) to be played at the Maracaná in Rio de Janeiro.
We also know that Brazil will play its opening game in that first match (24 June), and in the group stage will also play in São Paulo (29 June) and Brasilia (4 July).
The FIFA Women’s World Cup and 31 teams will be flying down to Rio de Janeiro and nine other Brazilian cities in 2027 to join the Brazilian team after FIFA chose Brazil to host the 10th edition of the Women’s World Cup. The first nation to be handed the rights by an open vote, with member associations voting 119 to 78 in favour of Brazil over a joint bid by Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany.
Brazil has already successfully hosted the men’s World Cup in 1950 and 2014 and are expected to use the Maracanã Stadium (Rio de Janeiro), NeoQuímica Arena (São Paulo), Mineirão (Belo Horizonte), Mané Garrincha (Brasília), Fonte Nova (Salvador), Castelão (Fortaleza), Arena Pernambuco (Recife), Beira-Rio (Porto Alegre), Arena Pantanal (Cuiabá) and the Arena da Amazônia (Manaus) for games.
The exact dates of the tournament are not yet known, but probably June and July of 2027. The tournament will follow the same 32-team format as was used in 2023 in Australia and New Zealand.
