The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) has secured media rights to the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2027 across 18 territories on behalf of 19 EBU Members, ensuring extensive free-to-air coverage for football fans across Europe.
Under the agreement, EBU Members will deliver broad free-to-air coverage of the tournament across television, radio and digital platforms. Across all territories, at least one match per day will be broadcast on EBU Member channels, with all matches broadcast live. Tournament highlights will also be distributed, supported by Eurovision News, reinforcing the EBU’s collective commitment to expanding the reach and visibility of women’s football across Europe and beyond.
The FIFA Women’s World Cup 2027 will be broadcast by the following EBU Members: Cesky Rozhlas (Czechia), Ceská Televize (Czechia), DR (Denmark), MTVA (Hungary), NOS (Netherlands), NRK (Norway), PBS (Malta), RTBF (Belgium), RTVE (Spain), RTVS (Slovakia), RUV (Iceland), SR (Sweden), SRG SSR (Switzerland), Suspilne (Ukraine), TV 2 AS (Norway), TV2 Danmark (Denmark), TVP (Poland), VRT (Belgium), and YLE (Finland).
This agreement builds on the EBU’s historic relationship with FIFA and its support for the women’s game.

A strong focus on women’s sport underpins everything we do at the EBU, and by putting visibility first, we are proud not only to continue our long-standing commitment, but to keep evolving our approach in growing audiences, strengthening storytelling, and building long-term value for women’s competitions as a central part of the sports landscape.”
