2027 FIFA Women's World Cup

The 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup is scheduled to be the tenth edition of the FIFA Women's World Cup, the quadrennial international women's football championship contested by the national teams of the member associations of FIFA. The tournament will include 32 teams for the second time after FIFA announced the expansion of the tournament in July 2019. Spain are the defending champions, having won their first title in 2023.

On 17 May 2024, FIFA announced that Brazil won the hosting rights, making this the first FIFA Women's World Cup in South America. Brazil will become the sixth country—after Sweden, the United States, Germany, France, and Canada—to host both the men's and women's World Cup, having hosted the former in 1950 and 2014. It is also the first country to host eight different FIFA competitions.

Host selection
On 23 March 2023, FIFA announced that bidding had begun for the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup. Member associations interested in hosting the tournament had to submit a declaration of interest by 21 April, and provide the completed bidding registration by 8 December.

Fourteen countries initially indicated interest in hosting the events, two of which were joint bids. These were Belgium-Germany-Netherlands, Brazil, Chile, Italy, Mexico, Denmark-Finland-Iceland-Norway-Sweden (Nordic bid), South Africa and United States. Chile, Italy, the Nordic bid and South Africa would later drop out, some of which stated their expressions to host the following tournament in 2031. The Mexican Football Federation and the United States Soccer Federation would later merge their bids in a joint submission. Brazil and the Belgium-Germany-Netherlands joined them in submitting their bid books to FIFA by 8 December. However, the Mexico-United States withdrew their bid in April 2024, just weeks before the host selection, refocusing their efforts on a bid to host the 2031 edition instead.

Qualification
FIFA's confederations organise their qualifications through continental championships, with the exception of UEFA, which organises its own qualifying competition. The host Brazil qualified automatically for the tournament, leaving most of the remaining FIFA member associations eligible to enter qualification if they chose to do so. An exception may be Russia, which is currently under suspension by FIFA and UEFA from all competitions since 28 February 2022 due to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.
