Sarina Wiegman's side went all the way at Euro 2022 to bring the trophy home, and the boss will be determined to make it two successes at major tournaments in a row.

England enter the Women's World Cup in war-torn fashion with a number of key names absent through injury, none greater than Beth Mead and captain Leah Williamson.

However, they will still enter the competition with fresh swagger, with confidence, with a genuine belief that they can go all the way and challenge the finest teams in world football.

Triumphing at the World Cup would be in another stratosphere to conquering Europe. The infamous US Women's National Team will be licking their lips at the prospect of another glorious piece of silverware, while host nation Australia will fancy their chances

Canada and Brazil are also added to the picture for the World Cup, making the Lionesses' life even more difficult. Two things are certain: it's going to be a wild ride and we can't wait.

RadioTimes.com brings you all the dates for the Women's World Cup 2023.

When is the Women's World Cup 2023?

The Women's World Cup takes place between Thursday 20th July 2023 and Sunday 20th August 2023.

The month-long tournament will pit the world's greatest against one another with plenty of fireworks expected. Qualification is under way now.

Where is the Women's World Cup 2023 held?

The Women's World Cup will be hosted by Australia and New Zealand.

Of course, that means it's going to be a trickier tournament to watch given that Hamilton, NZ (the furthest east host city) is 11 hours ahead of UK time.

If games kick off at, for example, 8pm local time, fans in the UK will be forced to tune in at 9am. Games that kick off earlier in the day will be the middle of the night for British viewers.
