RTÉ Sport will broadcast every match of he FIFA Women's World Cup 2023 on television and on RTÉ Player, it was confirmed this afternoon.

Viewers will be able to cheer on the Republic of Ireland as well as coverage of all other matches with some featuring on RTÉ2, RTÉ News Channel and all 64 live games from Australia and New Zealand on RTÉ Player along with highlights, previews, and features.

RTÉ Sport's commentary team for the World Cup will see George Hamilton, Des Curran, Stephanie Roche, Adrian Eames and Clare Shine on the microphone, and the panel of studio experts will include Karen Duggan, Jennifer Beattie, Richie Sadlier, Méabh De Búrca and Rachel Corsie, with more names to be announced.

RTÉ Kids will also be going green this summer and will be bringing exclusive content across TikTok and Instagram from the Girls in Green, superfans and so much more.

Following their historic play-off victory over Scotland, the Republic of Ireland will compete for their first ever FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 in Australia and New Zealand.

The first game is on 20 July

Group Head of RTÉ Sport, Declan McBennett, said: "Irish women's sports will reach brand new heights when Vera Pauw takes the Republic of Ireland side to the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 for the very first-time next month.

"RTÉ has long been a strong supporter of women's football, bringing World Cup and Euro qualifiers free-to-air to Irish viewers - from the early days to that historic night in Glasgow - so it's especially appropriate that we will be there again to follow the Republic of Ireland as they break new ground. We are both proud and delighted to bring all the action from Australia and New Zealand this summer."

RTÉ Sport will also offer unrivalled digital coverage of the World Cup

Football fans will also be kept up to date with the latest news and updates from host countries Australia New Zealand on Saturday Sport, Sunday Sport and Game On along with live bulletins throughout the day on RTÉ Radio 1 and RTÉ 2FM.

There will be full live match commentary of all Republic of Ireland's World Cup group games on 2FM followed by reaction and analysis that evening on Game On between 6-7pm.
