Summary
- Netflix secures broadcasting rights to 2027 and 2031 Women's World Cup
- Marks first time Netflix takes on live soccer broadcasting
- Aims to grow popularity of women's game in Canada and US

In a significant development for the future of sports broadcasting, the FIFA Women's World Cup is set to leave traditional television channels in the United States and Canada and join the streaming platform Netflix. As of 2025-08-08T20:49:47+00:00, Netflix has secured the exclusive broadcasting rights to the 2027 and 2031 Women's World Cup tournaments in both countries.
This landmark deal represents a major shift in how the prestigious women's football competition will be accessed by fans. After a decade of coverage on Fox Sports in the US and TSN in Canada, the rights have now moved to the streaming giant. Netflix's vice-president of sports, Gabe Spitzer, expressed the company's excitement to partner with FIFA and provide fans with "unparalleled access" to the Women's World Cup.
The move to Netflix also marks the first time the streaming service has taken on the rights to live soccer. This aligns with a broader trend of major streaming platforms, including DAZN, Apple TV, and Amazon Prime, increasingly acquiring the rights to broadcast live sporting events. As the popularity of women's soccer continues to grow, this deal is expected to further boost the visibility and reach of the Women's World Cup.
