FIFA Women's World Cup 2023: Official Groups and Fixtures

The much-anticipated match schedule, for the 32-team, ninth edition of the FIFA Women's World Cup 2023, to be jointly hosted by Australia and New Zealand is now complete.

The draw for the FIFA Women's World Cup 2023 has finished. Australia and New Zealand will be joint hosts, which is the first such occurrence in the tournament's 32-year existence.

The draw was held at the Aotea Centre in Auckland, New Zealand which played host to over 800 delegates from each country that qualified for the tournament proper. Without further ado, let's see the groups and which teams are in it:

Group A features co-host New Zealand, Norway, the Philippines, and Switzerland in what appears to be a very open group, while Australia find themselves grouped with Republic of Ireland, Nigeria, and Canada in Group B. Neither group has a locked-in winner which makes for a tasty encounter.

Spain, Costa Rica, Zambia, and Japan are in Group C. In Group D, we have Women's Euros winner England, Denmark, China, and a qualifying group play-off winner (one of Chile, Senegal, or Haiti). Spain and England are two great teams and look like surefire table-toppers in their groups.

Group E features reigning champions USA, Vietnam, the Netherlands, and another yet-to-be-determined qualifier (one of Portugal, Cameroon, or Thailand). France, Jamaica, Brazil, and the final spot up for grabs (one of Chinese Taipei, Papua New Guinea, Paraguay, or Panama) form Group F. Both groups here feature two big names — the USWNT and Dutch sides in one, France and Brazil in the other.

Sweden, South Africa, Italy, and Argentina constitute Group G, and Germany (which naturally features a large contingent from Bayern Munich's Frauen team), Morocco, Colombia, and South Korea round off the groups in Group H.

Following Saturday's stunning Draw show in Auckland/Tāmaki Makaurau, kick-off times have now been added to the previously announced Match Schedule with the tournament opener seeing co-hosts New Zealand welcome Norway to Eden Park on Thursday 20 July in a 7pm (NZST) kick-off.

The Tournament's second game will kick off three hours later at 8pm (AEST) as fellow co-hosts Australia meet the Republic of Ireland at the Sydney Football Stadium in the first match of Group B.

The final will take place at 8pm (AEST) at Stadium Australia in Sydney/Gadigal on Sunday 20 August.
The full match schedule is available for download here.

Please note, there is a two-hour time difference between Australia's east coast and Aotearoa New Zealand, with all kick-off times in the match schedule listed as local.

Single-match passes for the tournament will go on sale from 25 October 2022 via FIFA.com/tickets.
