The three-peat bid for the U.S. women's national team at the FIFA World Cup is about to commence.
With New Zealand and Norway kicking off 2023 World Cup action on Thursday, July 20, many U.S. fans might be wondering when they can catch the Gals take the field.
And rightfully so, considering the USWNT have put on dazzling and ruthless performances in previous World Cups to seize the title.
But doing so for a third consecutive time will be challenging, as other countries have developed and are better equipped to dethrone the well-oiled machine that is the USWNT.
So, let's take a look at when you can catch the USWNT in action as they embark for a three-peat in New Zealand and Australia:
