Paramount+ will be the exclusive home to the inaugural Women’s Cup — a 4-team international soccer tournament taking place this August. The NWSL’s Racing Louisville and Chicago Red Stars, Frauen-Bundesliga’s FC Bayern Munich, and Division 1 Féminine’s Paris Saint-Germain will play in a bracket-style tournament to decide a winner.
The action kicks off on Wednesday, August 18 at 5:00 PM ET with FC Bayern facing PSG in a matchup between two European league champions and UEFA Women’s Champions League semifinalists. At 7:30 PM ET, Louisville and Chicago will meet in a contest that will also count in the NWSL’s regular-season standings.
The winners of each of those matches will face off in the title game at 6:00 PM ET on Saturday, August 21, preceded by the third-place game at 3:00 PM ET. All matches will be played at Lynn Family Stadium in Louisville, KY — and they’ll only be seen on Paramount+.
