Okay, sports fans, this is HUGE. FIFA and Netflix just signed a deal that’s straight-up game-changing. Starting in 2027, Netflix will have exclusive rights to stream the FIFA Women’s World Cup™ in the U.S.—and yes, that includes Puerto Rico and both English and Spanish broadcasts. Oh, and it doesn’t stop there: they’ve got the 2031 tournament locked in too.
This isn’t just a win for fútbol (or soccer, depending on your vibe); it’s a massive W for women’s sports. For the first time ever, Netflix is diving all-in to stream an entire sporting event live, proving the FIFA Women’s World Cup isn’t just a tournament—it’s a global movement around “the beautiful game”.
What You’ll Get:
All Matches Live: Yep, every single one.
Next-Level Coverage: Expect studio shows packed with star players, analysts, and maybe even some behind-the-scenes drama.
Exclusive Docs: Netflix is going beyond the field, creating docuseries that dive deep into the players, their stories, and the epic rise of women’s football. Netflix will produce exclusive documentary series in the lead-up to both tournaments, spotlighting the world’s top players, their journeys and the global growth of women’s football.
Netflix has proved its ability to tell compelling stories from the world of football through programming such as Under Pressure: The U.S. Women’s World Cup Team, Captains of the World (in partnership with FIFA), Neymar: The Perfect Chaos, Beckham, Sunderland ’Til I Die and Boca Juniors Confidential, wit
FIFA x Netflix = The Dream Team
“This is a big freaking deal,” FIFA Prez Gianni Infantino said (okay, not in those exact words). “Netflix isn’t just a partner; they’re helping us show the world the real value of women’s soccer.”
Netflix’s Chief Content Officer Bela Bajaria added, “It’s not just about the matches—it’s about the players, the passion, and the culture. Women’s football is on fire right now, and we’re here for it.”
