Who will broadcast the 2023 Women’s World Cup on TV?

  • For the first time, the TV rights to the Women’s World Cup were not linked to the broadcasting rights to the Men’s World Cup in the previous year.
  • An agreement between FIFA and the television stations is still pending. At the 2023 Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, there is a risk of a “blackout” in Germany and other European countries such as Great Britain, Spain, France and Italy.
  • In previous editions, ARD and ZDF reported on the women’s world championships in Germany. But this year the TV rights are too expensive for the broadcasters. “We’re proud that we’ve given football, women’s football, a stage for decades, that we’ve been able to help it grow, we want to continue doing that, but we also have to leave the church in the village,” said WDR – Director Tom Buhrow. ARD and ZDF are said to be offering around five million euros. FIFA is said to demand more than double that.
