The FIFA Women's World Cup 2023 is the biggest women's sporting event the world has ever seen – and the biggest international sporting event to be hosted in Australia since the Sydney 2000 Olympics. If you don't have tickets but want to watch on a big screen and surrounded by some vibe at a live site or in a pub, our sports lover and women's sport advocate editor, Alice Ellis, has rounded up the best places to do that.

Wondering when and where all the FIFA Women's World Cup games will be on, and how to watch in Sydney and Australia? Here's everything you need to know about the World Cup 2023, including the last Matildas game and the Final.

Surry Hills stalwart the Clock, in partnership with Patrón, will be giving away free Margaritas for the first goal the Matildas score in every match they play during the 2023 tournament. To get your free Marg, register your details on the Clock’s website before kick-off each game, show your confirmation email to the bar staff, and then get a wristband. When the Matildas score their first goal, it’s go time, baby.

The Forrester’s in Surry Hills will be screening all the Matildas games in their cosy Public Bar & Art Room. And with multiple big screens and other TVs, plus good food and good drinks, it's a great place to tune in to the big Women's World Cup matches from.

One of the Inner West's favourite pubs (in Marrickville) will be showing every Women's World Cup game live – on a big screen in the beer garden, and on smaller screens in the front bar.

The Crowns’ luxe rooftop bar, Cirq – which is located on level 26 and boasts views of the Harbour and glitting cityscape – will be screening the Women's World Cup. Plus, for Wednesday’s Semi-Final against England, Cirq will be offering guests 25 per cent off food and drinks. Sounds like a good way to kick off the game to us.

This Coogee mainstay gets very lively when there's a big sporting match on. The Women's World Cup will be no different. If you can't squeeze yourself into the beer garden to watch on one of the big screens, you can head inside to watch. They'll be showing every game of the tournament.
