Women's World Cup 2027 qualifying play-offs TV schedule: Coverage, TV fixtures and live stream

World Cup dreams hang in the balance for the home nations, with England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales all in the hunt for a spot at next summer's tournament.

A shake-up to the system means that only four European teams – Spain, Denmark, France and Germany – qualified automatically for the Women's World Cup 2027.

32 more nations head into the play-offs. Half of those will be left heartbroken after the first round of home-and-away ties, and the remaining 16 will progress to the final round of qualifying in November and December.

2023 finalists England are expected to book their spot but things don't look quite as certain for the rest of the home nations – particularly Northern Ireland and Wales, who are hoping to qualify for the World Cup for the first time.

Expect nail-biters, late drama, heroes and heartbreak as we take the next steps on the road to Brazil.

Radio Times brings you the Women's World Cup 2027 qualifying play-offs TV schedule, including every home nation's game you can watch live in the UK.
