The event will be shown exclusively by DAZN globally, with exceptions for Brazil, China, Morocco, the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, while in the United States only the semi-finals will be broadcast.
Sky Sports will be the broadcasters in the UK and Ireland after they announced that they have secured ‘exclusive’ rights to the broadcast.
The competition begins on 28 January at Brentford’s GTech Community Stadium, with Gotham FC facing Corinthians in one semi-final and Arsenal playing AS FAR in the other.
The third-place match and final will both be held at the Emirates on 1 February.
Sha Seg Segev, chief executive of DAZN Group, said: “ Dazn and Fifa share the vision of making football accessible and inclusive for fans around the world. “FIFA’s Champions Cup is a historic event for global football.”
Arsenal will compete in the tournament after winning the Women’s Champions League in 2025. The club’s chief executive Richard Garlicksaid: “Following our historic UEFA Women’s Champions League win in May, we’re proud that we will be competing on the global stage in the inaugural FIFA Women’s Champions Cup.
“We’re thrilled that the third-place match and final will be played at Arsenal Stadium, as we continue to pioneer and drive growth in the women’s game with our supporters. We look forward to delivering a memorable event for our community in North London and supporters of the game all over the world.”
Arsenal’s Women’s Super League home match against Leicester City will be rescheduled because of the fixture clash, with the club still to contact season-ticket holders with details.
Tickets for the semi-finals will be sold through Brentford, while tickets for the final and third-place match go on pre-sale on 15 December, starting at £18 for adults and £9 for juniors, covering both matches.
