The draw made next summer's tournament in Australia and New Zealand come into focus, but we can really start to anticipate the event with FIFA now revealing the 2023 Women's World Cup kick off times.
The United States women's national team was drawn into Group E, meaning they'll open play against Vietnam on Saturday, July 22, before a rematch of the 2019 World Cup Final against the Netherlands on Thursday, July 27. The USWNT's final group stage match is on Tuesday, Aug. 1, against a playoff winner (either Portugal, Cameroon or Thailand).
In the United States, English-language coverage of the tournament will be provided by FOX while Spanish-language broadcasts are on Telemundo Deportes. The USWNT will play all three of its group stage matches in New Zealand, while winning Group E would see them play at Sydney Football Stadium in Australia in the Round of 16.
