The Women's Rugby World Cup is a rugby union tournament, pitting 15 players from each side on the pitch at a time against each other in 80-minute games played over two 40-minute halves.

The BBC iPlayer is free to use, although viewers will need an up-to-date TV Licence to stream live in the UK. You’ll also need to complete a simple registration to access the service. Wales, Scotland, and Ireland fans can also watch their country’s matches live on the BBC ’s linear broadcast channels.

Select matches broadcast on CBS, and the Women’s Rugby World Cup is available on streaming cable services that carry the network. Some live TV streamers offer free trials so you can watch matches online for free. However, the best way to watch matches is with a subscription to Paramount+, which comes with a seven-day free trial.
