The semi-final showdowns are locked in for August 15 and 16, while the big finale is booked for August 20 at Stadium Australia in Sydney.

How can I watch the 2023 Women's World Cup?

All 64 matches at the tournament will be available to watch in the UK on BBC and ITV, both on television and online.

The BBC will show both semi-finals, while the two broadcasters will share coverage of the final.

FIFA's decision to separate the broadcasting rights for the Women's World Cup from the men's tournament sparked a bitter stand-off between the governing body and broadcasters, but a deal was eventually struck on June 15.

The United States triumphed at the last World Cup, which was held in France.

A side led by Ballon d'Or Feminin winner Megan Rapinoe beat the Netherlands 2-0 in the final to claim their fourth title overall.

Rapinoe, 38, was also the joint-top scorer with six goals, alongside compatriot Alex Morgan and England's Ellen White.

The Lionesses finished fourth at the tournament after losing their semi-final to the US and third-place play-off to Sweden.
