USWNT 2026 TV schedule: Fixtures, results, live stream & how to watch the U.S. women's team

The United States women's national team entered a new era in 2024, with Emma Hayes making an immediate impact on a group in need of exactly that. Within weeks of starting her new job, the former Chelsea boss guided the U.S. to Olympic gold, sending a message to the rest of the women's game as a new World Cup cycle begins.

The four-time world champion suffered its earliest Women's World Cup exit in Australia in 2023 and Vlatko Andonovski left his role as head coach as a result. It's been a delight for the nation to see the team return to a title-winning level so soon, then. Now, with plenty of time until the next major tournament, the 2027 Women's World Cup, Hayes can focus on developing this exciting young generation of players, ensuring they are ready to challenge for the World Cup.

    What fixtures has the USWNT had in 2026?

    The USWNT kicked off its year in January with a pair of friendlies, welcoming both Paraguay and Chile and putting on two dominant displays to start 2026 in extremely positive fashion. The win over Chile in particular caught the eye, as it was conjured up by the team's most inexperienced line-up in over 20 years.

    Hayes' side that backed that up in March, winning the SheBelieves Cup for the eighth time thanks to wins over Argentina, Canada and Colombia. The USWNT didn't concede once during the tournament, either.

    A first loss of 2026 came in April, in the second game of the USWNT's three-game series against Japan, but Hayes' side did also emerge with two wins from that international break, as well as a lot of information having come up against one of the best teams in the game.

  • What is on the USWNT's schedule in 2026?

    The USWNT will play its first matches of the year on the road in June when it travels to Brazil to face the hosts of the 2027 Women's World Cup twice. The pair last met in the Olympic final in 2024, when the U.S. won 1-0. Playing the Selecao again will not only be a great test for Hayes' side but it will also give the players an opportunity to experience conditions in Brazil near the summer, ahead of next year's tournament.

    Two more official international breaks will follow that, including the November window in which the U.S. will participate in the CONCACAF W Championship. The top four teams in that tournament will qualify for the 2027 Women's World Cup, with two more places in the intercontinental play-off tournament also up for grabs. It means the USWNT only has to win one game, against El Salvador, to punch its ticket to Brazil.

    The semi-finals of the tournament, to be hosted by the U.S, will take place on December 1, with the play-in matches for the World Cup's inter-confederation play-offs to follow the next day before the third-placed match and the final come on December 5. The quarter-finals, semi-finals and play-in matches will all take place at the Texas Health Mansfield Stadium, with the third-placed match and the final to be held at the Shell Energy Stadium in Houston.
