Top Questions Ahead the FIFA Women's World Cup 2023™

The FIFA Women's World Cup 2023™ is about to kick off. Here are the top questions facing the USWNT, plus how to stream with Sling TV.

With the dog days of summer arriving and only regular season MLB action on the sports menu, FIFA Women's World Cup 2023™ soccer is coming at the perfect time. Now, the actual times of the games may be rough for us Americans, but regardless, World Cup soccer never disappoints. The tournament begins July 20 with the host nations New Zealand and Australia kicking off the action against Norway and the Republic of Ireland, respectively. The United States Women’s National team will go for their third straight World Cup title, and the fifth in their history. Each World Cup cycle, new names emerge as household names in the sport. U.S. legend Megan Rapinoe has said this will be her last World Cup; Forward Alex Morgan's future is up in the air; and USWNT staples Katie O’Hara, Alyssa Naeher, Crystal Dunn and Julie Ertz are all over 30 years of age. But, to no surprise, plenty of new and exciting players have come through the USWNT system and are ready to introduce themselves to the world.

All 64 matches of the Women’s World Cup™ will be live on FOX and FS1. Click here for more information on how to watch with Sling TV and use the link at the bottom of this page to subscribe to Sling Blue with FS1 and FOX in select markets.

FIFA Women's World Cup 2023™ FAQs

Who is the biggest threat to the USWNT?
According to Las Vegas, the biggest threat to the US Women’s National team’s hopes of a three-peat is England. The Lionesses are coming off of a win at the Euro’s last summer, and beat the USWNT back in October. Don’t sleep on Australia, Germany, France, Spain, and 2019 World Cup final opponents Netherlands.
Who is the breakout candidate for the USWNT?
In 2019, Rose Lavelle introduced herself to the world. In 2023, there are a couple of candidates that can become household names on the USWNT. The first is Sophia Smith. The 22-year-old is a goal-scoring machine, and will probably be the best candidate for breakout star. Others include Trinity Rodman, daughter of NBA great Dennis Rodman, and 23-year-old Naomi Girma, who will be leading the defense in the absence of seasoned veteran Becky Sauerbrunn.
Outside the USWNT, who is the breakout player at the FIFA Women's World Cup 2023™?
Looking at non-American players that could take the world by storm in Australia, the first that comes to mind is England’s Lauren James. James isn’t known for her scoring but is a wizard on the ball and is a joy to watch. Jule Brand and Klara Buhl from Germany are another pair to keep an eye on.
What is the time difference between the United States and Australia / New Zealand?
Australia / New Zealand is 14-hours ahead of the eastern time zone in the United States.
Who is the USWNT Manager?
The manager for the US Women’s National team is Vlatko Andonovski. Vlatko took over for Jill Ellis in October of 2019 and this will be his first World Cup in charge of the USWNT.
