We’re a little under a year away from the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup, but we already know some details about who will be playing when. The tournament is set to run from June 24 to July 25, 2027, with 64 matches played in eight host cities in Brazil.
The host will, of course, kick things off at Estádio do Maracanã in Rio de Janeiro on June 24. Brazil’s other two group games will be played at Arena Itaquera in São Paulo on June 29, and at the Estádio Nacional in Brasília on July 4.
All eight host cities will feature at least 7 games and one knockout game. Brasília, Porto Alegre, Recife and Salvador will host games up to the round of 16. Belo Horizonte and Fortaleza, as well as São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, will host quarterfinals.
One of the semifinals will be in São Paulo on July 20, and the third-place game will also be played there on July 24. The second semifinal will be played in Rio de Janeiro on July 21, and the final will also be played there, on July 25. This will make Estádio do Maracanã in Rio de Janeiro only the third stadium to host both a FIFA World Cup final and a FIFA Women’s World Cup final.
Here’s a list of the cities hosting games:
- Belo Horizonte – Estádio Mineirão
- Brasília – Estádio Nacional
- Fortaleza – Arena Castelão
- Porto Alegre – Estádio Beira-Rio
- Recife – Arena de Pernambuco
- Rio de Janeiro – Estádio do Maracanã
- Salvador – Arena Fonte Nova
- São Paulo – Arena Itaquera
The 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup will feature 32 teams. Eighteen teams have qualified so far: Brazil, Australia, China PR, Japan, Korea DPR, Republic of Korea, Philippines, Algeria, Cameroon, Malawi, Morocco, Argentina, Colombia, New Zealand, Denmark, France, Germany, Spain. With UEFA still boycotting FIFA competitions due to President Gianni Infantino’s scrapped plan to sell minority stakes of the World Cup to private equity, it is not yet known if European teams will participate in the competition.
