U.S. women's national soccer team in SheBelieves Cup: How to watch, schedule

The sixth annual SheBelieves Cup kicks off Thursday at Exploria Stadium in Orlando, Florida, where the entire tournament will take place.

The U.S. women's national team – which has won the SheBelieves Cup three times – will open play against Canada. This will be the 61st time that the USWNT has played Canada, the most it's faced any opponent. The Americans are 50-3-7 in those games.

The four teams play in a round-robin tournament, with three points awarded for a win and one for a tie. If teams are even in points at the conclusion of the round-robin, goal differential is the first tiebreaker. Last year's competition concluded on March 11 with the United States winning the tournament on the night the NBA – with the whole sports world soon to follow – shut down due to the coronavirus pandemic.
