AFC Women's Asian Cup Australia 2026™
For the first time in two decades, Australasia's biggest celebration of women's football returns to Australia.
Overview
Sydney is gearing up to host the AFC Women's Asian Cup Australia 2026™ — and the 21st edition of the tournament brings some serious stakes with it. From March 1–21, Asia's best will hit the pitch at Stadium Australia and Western Sydney Stadium, battling for continental glory and all-important spots at the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup™ and the AFC Women's Olympic Qualifying Tournament.
Across three action-packed weeks, Sydney will host six group-stage clashes in Parramatta — including every one of defending champion China's matches — before Stadium Australia takes over with a blockbuster quarter-final, semi-final and the tournament's big finale. And for local fans, the unmissable showdown lands on Sunday, March 8, when the Matildas face South Korea under the lights at Stadium Australia — a fitting International Women's Day clash.

On the field, all eyes will be on superstar striker Sam Kerr, who's targeting a full comeback after injury and looking to make her mark on home soil once again. Co-captain Steph Catley brings experience and composure to the back line, while Sydney-born young gun Holly McNamara, one of the Matildas' rising stars, promises spark and pace out wide. Add to that a new wave of regional talent from Japan, Vietnam and the Philippines, among others, and this Asian Cup is shaping up as one of the biggest and best yet.
