2015 FIFA Women's World Cup TV schedule

The Women's World Cup is officially upon us. This post has all the basics you need to keep track of the tournament. Full coverage is available in Philly.com's World Cup special section. In addition to my on-site coverage of the U.S. team, you'll find the latest news and analysis, as well as real-time Twitter updates from across Canada.

Here's the group stage draw, including the United States' place in the Group of Death:

Group A: A1. Canada, A2. China, A3. New Zealand, A4. Netherlands
Group B: B1. Germany, B2. Ivory Coast, B3. Norway, B4. Thailand
Group C: C1. Japan, C2. Switzerland, C3. Cameroon, C4. Ecuador
Group D: D1. United States, D2. Australia, D3. Sweden, D4. Nigeria
Group E: E1. Brazil, E2. South Korea, E3. Spain, E4. Costa Rica
Group F: F1. France, F2. England, F3. Colombia, F4. Mexico

The U.S.' group stage schedule is as follows. Kickoff times and TV listings are in the master schedule below:

Monday, June 8: vs. Australia at Winnipeg Stadium, Winnipeg
Friday, June 12: vs. Sweden at Winnipeg Stadium, Winnipeg
Tuesday, June 16: vs. Nigeria at BC Place, Vancouver

(I am using FIFA's non-sponsored names for Winnipeg's Investors Group Field and Ottawa's TD Place Stadium because they are what you'll be seeing on TV and in other media throughout the tournament. And I figure that anyone who hadn't heard of the venues before now probably wouldn't have known about their real names.)

Having finished first in the group, the Americans' path through the knockout rounds is as follows:

Monday, June 22: Round of 16 at Commonwealth Stadium, Edmonton
Friday, June 26: Quarterfinal at Lansdowne Stadium, Ottawa
Tuesday, June 30: Semifinal at Olympic Stadium, Montréal

Fox (English) and Telemundo (Spanish) have television rights in the United States. It will be the first time either network has shown a major FIFA tournament.

The big Fox over-the-air network airs 16 games. That is the most games ever shown on over-the-air U.S. television for any men's or women's World Cup. Among them will be two U.S. group stage games, two quarterfinals, one semifinal, the third place match and the final. Fox Sports 1 will carry 29 games, including the U.S.' tournament opener, the entire round of 16, two quarterfinals and one semifinal. Fox Sports 2 will carry the remaining seven games.

Fox Sports 1 will begin each day's coverage will begin with an hour-long pregame show, and end each night with an hour-long wrapup show.

Streaming will be through Fox's website and the Fox Sports Go app, free of charge with authentication through participating pay-TV providers. In addition to the television broadcast feeds, there will be supplementary feeds for select games. For all games, there will be a feed with pregame warmups, in-progress highlights and postgame press conferences. There will also be an overhead cable-cam feed for 23 games and a wide-angle tactical view for 41 games.

Fox's studio coverage will orginate from a spectacular location along Vancouver's Coal Harbour for the duration of the tournament. Rob Stone and Kate Abdo will split hosting duties. Monica González, Ariane Hingst, Alexi Lalas, Christine Latham, Heather Mitts, Leslie Osborne, Kelly Smith, Eric Wynalda and referee expert Dr. Joe Machnik will rotate as analysts. Jenny Taft, Julie Stewart-Binks and Grant Wahl will be the reporters, with Taft specifically assigned to cover the United States team.

The network has five commentary crews:

- J.P. Dellacamera (play-by-play), Tony DiCicco (analyst) and Cat Whitehill (analyst)
- John Strong (play-by-play) and Danielle Slaton (analyst)
- Justin Kutcher (play-by-play) and Aly Wagner (analyst)
- Jenn Hildreth (play-by-play) and Kyndra de St. Aubin (analyst)
- Glenn Davis (play-by-play) and Christine Latham (analyst)

Dellacamera, DiCicco and Whitehill are the top crew, calling every U.S. game and the final. Strong will leave after the quarterfinals to prepare to lead Fox's coverage of the CONCACAF Gold Cup, which starts two days after the World Cup ends. Latham will also be in the studio analyst rotation.

Almost every game will be called live on site. A few will be called off monitors from Vancouver. Before you complain, ESPN did the same thing in Brazil last year because of venue capacity constraints and travel distances.

Telemundo airs 10 games over the air, including the opener, every Mexican national team contest, three round of 16 matches, one quarterfinal and the final. Sister cable network NBC Universo carries 21 games, including all U.S. group stage contests, four round of 16 matches, two quarterfinals and both semifinals. Broadcast windows will usually start with pregame coverage half an hour before kickoff.

All games, whether televised or not, will be streamed through the new NBC Deportes website and apps, free of charge with authentication.

Andrés Cantor and Sammy Sadovnik lead the on-air team. They and their colleagues are based at their combined studio in Miami for much of the tournament. They might get to Vancouver for the final, but expect everything else to be called off monitors. Many of them are also calling the FIFA under-20 men's World Championship, which overlaps with the women's World Cup.

There will not be over-the-air radio broadcasts, but SiriusXM will carry simulcasts of Fox Sports' feed for every game of the tournament. The big games, including U.S. contests, will be on Sirius XM FC (channel 94, also known as where you listen to Soccer Morning), with other games on other channels. Coverage will include pregame and postsgame shows hosted by Garth Crooks, New York City FC's radio play-by-play voice. (And you might hear me contributing every now and again too.)

In Canada, Bell Media is both the rights-holder and host broadcaster. In English, over-the-air network CTV has 17 games, with the rest spread across TSN networks. In French, all games will be split between cable networks RDS, RDS2 and RDS Info. Online streaming is via the CTV GO, TSN GO and RDS GO websites and apps, all free with authentication via participating Canadian pay-TV providers.

TSN's studio coverage is hosted by Jennifer Hedger, with former Canadian national team stalwart Clare Rustad among the analysts. On-site coverage of Canada's games is led by James Duthie, Kara Lang and Kristian Jack, with Luke Wileman (play-by-play) and Jason deVos (analyst) in the booth. Sheri Forde and Brian Williams deliver reporting and on-air features.

Bell also has radio rights for the tournament, and broadcasts games across TSN Radio's English-language national network. Gareth Wheeler hosts, with Dan Dunleavy (play-by-play) and Andrea Neal (analyst) calling games.

Here is the complete Women's World Cup schedule. All times are Eastern. U.S. games are in italics. I'll add in commentary teams as they are announced.
