A month of elite football is underway as Australia and New Zealand host the FIFA Women’s World Cup for the first time.
For the first time ever, the WWC contains 32 teams, split into eight groups of four. Each team faces all three of their group opponents, before the top two teams from each group make it to the knockouts.
The eight group winners face off against the second-placed teams from (different) groups in the Round of 16, before we whittle things all the way down to two teams in the final on August 20.
Here’s the fixture details and results for all 64 matches!
