What is the scheduled date for the upcoming Women's World Cup?
The excitement is building as the countdown to the 2027 Women's World Cup begins. Scheduled to take place from June 24 to July 25, 2027, the tournament will be hosted across eight cities in Brazil, culminating at the iconic Estadio do Maracana.
A total of 32 teams will compete in this expanded tournament, divided into eight groups of four teams each. The top two teams from each group will advance to the knockout stage, starting from the Round of 16.
As hosts, Brazil qualifies automatically for the tournament. Other teams will need to go through their respective qualification campaigns, which are currently underway. The qualifiers run through 2025-2026, depending on the confederation. For instance, the CONMEBOL qualifiers happen on nine matchdays over 2025 and 2026, while UEFA qualification runs from February to December 2026.
England, among others, will be vying for one of the 11 UEFA spots in the 2023 World Cup. This tournament will also feature 32 teams, marking the last time the Women's World Cup will have this number before expanding to 48 teams in the 2031 edition.
The 2023 World Cup will be a significant event, not just for the expansion in teams, but also for the nations fighting to secure their spots. As the qualifying campaigns heat up, fans can look forward to an exciting journey towards the 2027 Women's World Cup in Brazil.
