Netflix Secures Exclusive U.S. Rights to 2027 and 2031 FIFA Women’s World Cups

The streaming giant's landmark deal marks its first full acquisition of a major sports tournament, signaling a deeper push into live sports content.

Netflix will exclusively stream the 2027 and 2031 FIFA Women’s World Cups in the U.S. and Puerto Rico, with broadcasts in both English and Spanish.
The 2027 tournament will take place from June 24 to July 25 in Brazil, while the host nation for 2031 has yet to be determined, with the U.S. expected to bid.
This deal is the first time FIFA has unbundled the Women’s World Cup media rights from the men’s tournament, reflecting the growing value of women’s sports.
Netflix plans to enhance coverage with studio shows, documentaries spotlighting top players, and programming celebrating the growth of women’s soccer globally.
The agreement underscores Netflix's expansion into live sports following its recent ventures into NFL games and record-breaking boxing events.
