U20 Women's World Cup – All You Need to Know

If you’re wondering what’s happening with the U20 Women's World Cup, you’ve come to the right place. This guide breaks down the basics, tells you when games are on, and shows where you can catch every goal live.

When and Where Are the Matches?

The tournament kicks off on August 15 and runs through September 5. All matches are being played in three host cities: Nairobi, Accra and Dakar. Each city has a main stadium that hosts the group stage and one of the knockout rounds.

Group‑stage games start at 3 pm local time, which translates to early morning for Europe and late night for the US West Coast. Check your local listings or use a world clock converter so you don’t miss a single match.

Who’s Playing and Who to Watch

Sixteen teams qualified after regional qualifiers. The big names include the United States, Brazil, Japan, Germany, Nigeria and South Korea. Each squad has a mix of academy prospects and players already breaking into senior clubs.

A few stand‑out talents are already drawing attention: America’s forward Maya Martinez (15 goals for her club), Brazil’s midfield engine Ana Silva (known for her passing range) and Japan’s defender Saki Yamamoto, who’s been called up to the senior national team.

Keep an eye on the under‑20 goalkeepers too – a few have saved penalties in the qualifiers and could become tomorrow’s star keepers.

How to Watch Live (Free & Paid Options)

In Africa, the official broadcaster is SportsTV Africa. They offer a free-to-air channel for select group games and a paid streaming package for all matches.

Outside the continent, the tournament streams on FIFA’s own platform, FIFA.tv, with a subscription that includes replay highlights. If you already have a cable or satellite provider, check if they carry the “Global Sports” package – most do.
