Women's World Cup 2023: USWNT vs. Netherlands: How to watch Wednesday on TV, streaming

The U.S. Women's National Team (USWNT) is back in action Wednesday night as it faces the Netherlands at Wellington Regional Stadium in Wellington, New Zealand, at 9 p.m. on FOX.

The United States made its 2023 World Cup debut Friday night with a 3-0 victory over Vietnam. Forward Sophia Smith scored two goals, becoming the youngest USWNT player (22 years old) to score multiple goals in their first World Cup game.

This is the first meeting between the two national teams since the 2020 Olympics when the United States won 4-2 in a penalty shootout.

This matchup is also significant because the USWNT defeated the Netherlands in the most recent Women's World Cup in France in 2019. With no goals allowed through the first 60 minutes of play, the U.S. netted two in eight minutes, holding on for a 2-0 victory and winning its fourth World Cup.

Here's how to watch Wednesday night's rematch, and the official lineup for the United States in this Group E match.

The USWNT will play its second match of group play versus the Netherlands on Wednesday at 9 p.m. The game will be broadcast on FOX. Their first match of the 2023 World Cup was also at 9 p.m. when they defeated Vietnam 3-0 Friday night in New Zealand.

After tonight's contest, the USWNT will play its final group play game on Tuesday, Aug. 1. However, unlike the first two matches, fans will have to either stay up late or wake up early as kickoff against Portugal is at 3 a.m. on FOX. It's the final game of the group play stage.

Leading up to its opening match against Vietnam, the USWNT official Twitter page announced its lineup roughly an hour before kickoff at 8 p.m. eastern time. Barring something unforeseen, I'd expect the team to release its starting 11 roughly around the same time.

With a smooth outing in their first game, I'd expect we see minimal to zero changes from head coach Vlatko Andonovski and his staff.

Here is the USWNT starting lineup for tonight's matchup:
