Optus has secured the exclusive Australian rights to select UEFA World Cup Qualifiers for the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023.

This includes all home qualifiers of three of the top six ranked FIFA teams in England, Germany and the Netherlands.

“Optus Sport customers will now be able to watch the elite of European football battle it out in qualification to play on the game’s biggest stage in Australia and New Zealand’s hosted FIFA Women’s World Cup,” Optus Head of TV & Content Corin Dimopoulos said.

  1. Yes but they have lost the Champions League rights. And the Premier League rights for next season are also up for grabs and they are going to have to play a lot more than they did last time to have any hope of keeping them, now that Paramount+ and Stan are looking for soccer rights.
