In a groundbreaking move for women’s football, FIFA and Netflix have announced an exclusive agreement granting the streaming giant the U.S. broadcasting rights for the 2027 and 2031 editions of the FIFA Women’s World Cup™. This milestone partnership, a first of its kind, is expected to revolutionize the way fans experience the global tournament and further elevate the profile of women’s football.
Speaking on the monumental deal, FIFA President Gianni Infantino stated, “This agreement sends a strong message about the real value of the FIFA Women’s World Cup and the global women’s game.” The collaboration underscores FIFA’s commitment to growing the sport and showcasing the talent, passion, and stories behind the world’s best female footballers.
As part of the agreement, Netflix will produce an exclusive documentary series in the lead-up to both tournaments, offering an in-depth look at the women’s game, its players, and the journey to the world’s biggest stage. The series is poised to highlight the transformative impact of women’s football and celebrate the athletes who continue to inspire millions worldwide.
Additionally, fans in the U.S. will gain unprecedented access to live coverage of every match, supported by star-studded studio shows, expert analysis, and engaging pre- and post-match content. This immersive approach promises to provide viewers with a front-row seat to all the action, drama, and excitement of the FIFA Women’s World Cup.
This historic deal not only marks Netflix’s debut in live sports broadcasting but also signifies a broader cultural shift in the appreciation and commercialization of women’s sports. With the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup™ breaking records for viewership and attendance, this partnership aims to build on that momentum, ensuring the 2027 and 2031 editions set even higher benchmarks for engagement and visibility.
Fans, players, and stakeholders alike are celebrating the announcement as a defining moment for the women’s game, paving the way for greater investment, representation, and opportunities in football globally.
