“This will be my first SheBelieves Cup, but I’ve followed the tournament, and it always produces close games between top teams,” Hayes, USWNT coach, said in a statement. “All four of these teams were in the last World Cup and Olympics, and all are in the building process to qualify for the next World Cup, so to get three games against talented teams and players in a format that replicates group play at a world championship is valuable in our process. All the games will be great tests for the teams and fun for all the fans.”

All the matches will be broadcast on TBS and Universo, and streamed on Max and Peacock. Additionally all non-U.S. games will be streamed on Max (in Spanish) and on Universo and Peacock.
