The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) has secured broadcasting rights for the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup 2027 across multiple European markets, reinforcing free-to-air access to one of football’s fastest-growing global competitions.
The agreement, signed on behalf of 19 EBU member broadcasters, will ensure coverage in countries including Spain, Netherlands, Sweden, Poland, Denmark, and Ukraine, among others. Fans in these territories will have access to at least one live match per day on free-to-air television, alongside highlights distributed via the Eurovision News platform.
The 2027 tournament will be hosted in Brazil from June 24 to July 27, marking the first time the Women’s World Cup will take place in South America.
The deal continues a long-standing partnership between the EBU and FIFA, which has been in place since the 2015 edition of the tournament. It reflects a broader strategy to increase visibility and accessibility for women’s sport, particularly through free-to-air broadcasting.
Beyond football, the EBU has also been expanding its sports portfolio, including recent agreements to grow aquatics coverage via its Eurovision Sport streaming platform.
With women’s football audiences continuing to rise globally, the latest deal underscores the importance of wide distribution and accessible broadcasting in sustaining that growth across Europe.
