Netflix acquires the rights to broadcast the FIFA Women’s World Cup

Netflix has struck a deal with FIFA to acquire US broadcast rights for the next two Women’s World Cups, . The deal covers both the 2027 and 2031 events.

Neither organization has disclosed the financial details of the deal, but it is said to be the most significant deal FIFA has ever signed with a major tournament promotion. FIFA president Gianni Infantino called it “a landmark moment in the history of sports and a “famous day for broadcasting and women’s football.”

This happened because FIFA restricted media rights for the women’s event for the first time, which will take effect after Fox broadcasts the next Men’s World Cup in 2026. The 2027 Women’s World Cup is being held in Brazil. The event of 2031 does not have a home, but .

This is a big deal for Netflix, because FIFA reported that 1.12 billion people watched the 2019 Women’s World Cup, which the US won. This is an international number, of course, but the 2023 tournament featured the highest US viewership ever. The game continues on this side of the pond.

Netflix has been making huge strides in the world of gaming lately. That was completely stupid but the tower will be home for every week .
