In February, FIFA is visiting each nation to submit a bid for the 2027 Women’s World Cup, including the United States and Mexico. The two North American nations are combining in a joint bid to host the top international women’s soccer competition. They will compete against two other bids to host the prestigious event in the summer of 2027. The other candidates are Brazil and a joint European bid of Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany.
The visits to the three bids started on Jan. 30. The first group to welcome FIFA is the European bid. Then, FIFA will make the trip to Brazil on Feb. 20. After spending four days in South America, FIFA will travel north on Feb. 26 to inspect the facilities the United States and Mexico can offer. FIFA will not select a host for the 2027 Women’s World Cup until May 17 during the FIFA Congress.
During these three inspections, FIFA will go to locations that relate to the bidding process. For example, the governing body’s representatives will visit stadiums the countries will use. Delegates from the bidding groups will also demonstrate how they will accommodate fans, events, and teams in attendance. Also, each potential host nation will have to show how they will develop women’s soccer locally. In the United States, the National Women’s Soccer League is one of the strongest women’s leagues in the world. It has shown rapid growth, and that includes adding two teams for the 2024 campaign.
Each of the potential hosts had to submit a ‘bid book‘ that outlines the potential host cities and The United States named 11 cities, each of which are also hosting games in the 2026 men’s World Cup.

Includes: Premier League, Liga MX, Ligue 1, + 84 Sports Channels
