The U.S. women's soccer national team is steaming towards the 2023 Women's World Cup as they get ready to defending their title and complete the first-ever three-peat in Women's World Cup history.
Vlatko Andonovski's side has put up nothing but victories so far in 2023, but the loss of Mallory Swanson to injury will be a big blow as they get ready for the FIFA tournament in Australia and New Zealand.
There is a new television home for U.S. Soccer in 2023, with the English-language broadcast rights for both men's and women's matches now held by Warner Brothers Disney via Turner Sports. That means some games will be shown on television via TNT and TBS, while others will be streamed on HBO Max.
The Spanish-language home for U.S. Soccer will be NBC Universal's platforms: Telemundo, Universo, and the Peacock streaming platform.
The Sporting News brings you all the details for how to watch the U.S. women in their upcoming matches throughout the 2023 calendar year, with the Women's World Cup on the horizon beginning July 20.

How much does HBO Max cost?
HBO Max streaming plans come in either a monthly or yearly commitment, and either as a regular or ad-free version.
The monthly version can be secured either at $9.99 a month for the regular version or $15.99 per month for ad-free streaming.
Meanwhile, the yearly cost of the regular version is $99.99 for 12 months, which gives those who wish to commit for a full year a discount of about $20 off what they would pay for a full year at the monthly price. There's also a discount on the yearly version of the ad-free service, which comes in at $149.99 for 12 months, a discount of about $42 for what one would pay in 12 installments of the monthly version.
| Plan | Cost | Cost (Ad Free) |

| Yearly | $99.99/yr | $149.99/yr |
Who are the HBO Max hosts and broadcasters?
Turner Sports released their team of broadcast talent for the USWNT matches in January.
Play-by-play broadcaster Luke Wileman will call the games in New Zealand alongside Julie Foudy, with former U.S. players DaMarcus Beasley, Shannon Boxx, and Kyle Martino serving as studio analysts.
Wileman began his broadcasting career with the BBC calling Leeds United games, and has spent the last 12 years doing play-by-play for Canada matches on TSN, including calling games at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Outside of the World Cup, Wileman has called international matches at the Euros and Olympics, plus club games in the Premier League, Champions League, and Major League Soccer.
Foudy is a USWNT veteran who gathered 271 international caps in an incredible 17-year career. She has been a rising start in broadcasting, mostly with ESPN on U.S. national team games at both the men's and women's level.
