Paramount Australia has secured exclusive broadcast rights for the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup in Brazil. This move expands the network's football portfolio beyond existing agreements.
Why it matters
The acquisition shifts the broadcasting landscape for major international football, moving the event from previous rights holder Seven. It strengthens Paramount's position as a primary destination for global and domestic football in Australia.
Paramount Australia's sports portfolio includes 30,000 industry professionals as a core target audience for its growing football coverage. The network currently holds exclusive rights to the AFC Champions League Elite and the Italian Coppa Italia.

The details

Season Trajectory
This acquisition follows the precedent set by the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup broadcast on Seven. It signals a shift in the Australian sports media landscape, establishing Paramount as the primary home for future international and domestic football tournaments.
Australian viewers should anticipate that all coverage for the 2027 tournament will be exclusive to Network 10 and Paramount+ rather than free-to-air on Seven. The Socceroos are also set to compete in the AFC Asian Cup Saudi Arabia 2027, which will be available to stream on the same platform.
