How can I watch the Women’s World Cup in the UK?

Want to cheer England’s Lionesses to glory this summer? Or perhaps you’re unfurling the Saltire for Scotland? Either way, catching every minute of the action has never been easier. Here’s how to watch the Women’s World Cup 2019 in the UK.

Women’s World Cup on TV

Tricky one this: you need to switch on the TV. The BBC has exclusive rights to the tournament, meaning that all of the England matches in France, as well as a selection of other big games, will be on BBC One.

The remaining ties will either be shown on BBC Two, BBC Four or the BBC website/Red Button. The Scottish Gaelic channel BBC ALBA will also be screening the Scotland fixtures.

Women’s World Cup online

If you want to keep one eye on the action in your office, all of the games will be streamed on the BBC Sport website and iPlayer. In fact, it’s the only place you’ll find some of the games (see the fixture list below). Just be ready to quickly close the tab when your boss does their rounds…

Also be aware that you still need a TV licence to watch BBC iPlayer. For more information, visit the official TV Licensing website.

Smartphone and tablet

If you’ll be on a train, a plane or even a beach during that vital quarter-final, don’t fret: simply download the BBC iPlayer app (which is available for both Android and iOS devices) to keep up to date.

However, as always, you’ll still need a TV licence.
