The second semifinal of the 2023 Women’s World Cup sees hosts Australia take on European champions England in Sydney on Wednesday for a place in Sunday’s final.
The Matildas won a nerve-jangling penalty shootout 7-6 against France to set up today’s tie after their quarterfinal ended 0-0 after extra time on Saturday.
Alessia Russo’s second-half goal, meanwhile, ensured England claimed a thrilling 2-1 quarter-final victory over Colombia last time out.
Wednesday’s match marks the first time these two teams have met in a World Cup, with their last meeting coming in a friendly in April this year, which saw Australia win 2-0 thanks to goals from Sam Kerr and Charlotte Grant.
Below, we’ll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch Australia vs. England, no matter where you are in the world.
Australia coach Tony Gustavasson has hinted that skipper and star striker Sam Kerr will again be used off the bench against England in Sydney.
This semifinal clash takes place at Stadium Australia in Sydney on Wednesday, Aug. 16.
Kick-off is set for 8 p.m. AEST local time in Australia, which makes it a 6 a.m. ET or 3 a.m. PT start in the US and Canada, a 10 p.m. NZST start in New Zealand and an 11 a.m. BST kick-off in the UK.
If you find yourself unable to view the tournament locally, you may need a different way to watch this match — that’s where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic, and it’s also a great idea if you’re traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network, and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.
With a VPN, you’re able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the game. Most VPNs, like our Editors’ Choice, ExpressVPN, make it really easy to do this.
Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US, UK and Australia, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you’re streaming. You should be sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions.
