The Women's Cup - the world's largest club women's professional soccer tournament - has set kickoff times ahead of the Aug. 14-20 tournament at Lynn Family Stadium in Louisville, Ky.
Games begin Sunday, Aug. 14, with an international doubleheader. First, Italy's AC Milan faces Japan's Nippon TV Tokyo Verdy Beleza at 4 p.m. before England's Tottenham Hotspur FC meets Mexico's Club América at 7 p.m.
Two National Women's Soccer League clubs join on a tripleheader Wednesday, Aug. 17. Losing sides from Sunday meet in a Fifth-Place Game at 2 p.m. before OL Reign matches up against either Tottenham or Club América at 5 p.m. Racing Louisville FC hosts AC Milan or Tokyo Verdy at 8 p.m. in the nightcap.
Those games will set up the Third-Place Game (4 p.m.) and Final (7 p.m.) on Saturday, Aug. 21.
Tickets and parking for all three days of the competition are on sale now at TheWomensCup.world.
Paramount+ will stream all seven matches domestically, with the semifinals and final to re-air at a later time on CBS Sports Network. International broadcast assignments are pending.
The Women's Cup will seek to replicate last year's inaugural tournament excitement when Racing Louisville outlasted FC Bayern Munich in a dramatic penalty shootout en route to raising the club's first trophy in front of home fans.
This year, The Women's Cup will be staged completely outside of the regular-season NWSL schedule. Visiting European clubs will arrive in the final stages of their preseasons, and tournament officials looked to new continents to continue extending the reach of this international event.
The host venue Lynn Family Stadium is a 15,304-capacity facility that's home to Racing Louisville - currently playing its second season - as well as the title-winning USL Championship club Louisville City FC. Lynn Family Stadium opened in 2020 in the Butchertown neighborhood just east of downtown. It boasts seating in close proximity to the pitch, ideal sight lines and a number of amenities, including a state-of-the-art video board and free WiFi.
