The SheBelieves Cup is back for 2023, with the U.S. women’s national team facing some intriguing tests.
All six games in the tournament will be streamed in English on HBO Max, with two USWNT matches broadcast on TNT as well. Universo will broadcast each game in Spanish, with Peacock the streaming option.
This year’s version of the SheBelieves Cup features a USWNT side gearing up for its attempt to be the first team to ever win three straight World Cups. They’ll begin their tournament against their arch-rivals Canada, a tough, resilient side who are garnering additional attention due to their ongoing clash with Canada Soccer.
Next up is Japan, a team that has long given the USWNT fits, and that is building a new, more expansive tactical identity for this summer’s World Cup. Finally, the USWNT will take on Brazil, a nightmare in transition who have two elite match-winners in Debinha and Marta.
