FIFA has announced broadcast partners for the final stage of its inaugural Women's Champions Cup, building on last month's venue reveal. DAZN will provide free global coverage in most territories, while Sky Sports covers the UK and Ireland. The four-team knockout takes place in London from January 28 to February 1, with teams now confirmed.
The participating teams are UEFA champions Arsenal, CAF's AS FAR (Morocco), Concacaf winners Gotham FC (US), and Conmebol champions SC Corinthians (Brazil), following the conclusion of preliminary rounds.
DAZN holds free-to-air rights worldwide, excluding the UK, Ireland, Morocco, Brazil, and China; it will air all four matches in the US. Sky Sports has UK and Ireland rights, CazeTV covers Brazil, and a Moroccan broadcaster is forthcoming.
FIFA's chief football officer Jill Ellis said: “With world-class players, iconic clubs and a truly global stage, the FIFA Women’s Champions Cup marks a defining moment for women’s club football. We’re delighted to partner with premium broadcasters who’ll play a vital role in showcasing the final stage of this new tournament – which is visionary, ambitious, impactful, and deeply connected to fans and communities everywhere – to the world.” DAZN CEO Shay Segev added: “DAZN and FIFA share a vision to make football accessible and inclusive for fans everywhere. The FIFA Women’s Champions Cup is a landmark event for global football, and by offering free access to the tournament, DAZN is breaking down barriers and ensuring that the best of women’s football reaches the widest possible audience.”
Semifinals are at Brentford's Gtech Community Stadium on January 28: Corinthians vs. Gotham FC at 12:30 p.m., Arsenal vs. AS FAR at 6 p.m. On February 1 at Arsenal's Emirates Stadium (renamed Arsenal Stadium for the event), a third-place playoff starts at 2:45 p.m., followed by the final at 6 p.m.
This precedes the full Women's Club World Cup in 2028 every four years, as FIFA pursued direct broadcast deals after initial sales challenges—similar to the men's edition—amid concerns over the crowded football calendar.
