Women's World Cup Schedule 2019: Updated Fixtures, Live Stream for All Groups

The second round of group-stage fixtures will get under way at the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup on Wednesday when tournament hosts France will seek to build on their winning start.

Les Bleues face Norway in their second Group A fixture, and the matchup is almost certain to decide who comes out on top of the pool. European favourites Germany and Spain will also collide in Group B.

England, Canada and the Netherlands each squeezed by their opening group opponents by one-goal margins, while Italy surprised No. 6-ranked Australia 2-1 in Group C to take a valuable joint-lead with Brazil.

The United States, meanwhile, face Chile on Matchday 2 looking to advance their tremendous start to the competition after they demolished Thailand 13-0 to boost their goal advantage early on.

Fox will provide live-stream action for viewers in the United States via Fox Sports Go. Audiences in the United Kingdom can stream matches using BBC iPlayer or via the BBC Sport website.

Hosts France, United States and Brazil Impress on Matchday 1

France opened the floodgates on South Korea in their tournament opener, going 3-0 up at the break and eventually winning 4-0.

Lyon forward and France captain Eugenie Le Sommer fittingly got the first goal of the tournament:

Centre-back Wendie Renard stands at 6'2" and used every bit of that height to her advantage by netting two headed goals.

Sportswriter Kelly Welles highlighted how her scoring threat is no new thing:

Coach Corinne Diacre could hardly have hoped for a better beginning to her first World Cup in a senior role, having previously held the assistant role during the 2011 Women's World Cup.

Grant Wahl of Sports Illustrated pointed to the competition's positive exposure:

Sao Paulo forward Cristiane, 34, is less known than team-mate Marta, Brazil's all-time record scorer on 117 goals, but it was the former who shone with a decisive hat-trick to put Jamaica away in their curtain-raiser.

Marta, 33, was an unused substitute as Brazil snapped a miserable nine-match losing streak in style, and Cristiane crowned her treble with an arcing free-kick from just outside the box:

Brazil's women aren't as renowned as their male national team equivalents and even have a bit of a reputation for failing to live up to their potential at World Cup tournaments. They've never won a world title and have finished in the top three in only two of the previous seven tournaments.

Incredibly, 41-year-old anchor Formiga has participated in all but one of those:

Beating Jamaica will boost morale, but Australia and Italy will each pose bigger threats in the fixtures to come, especially after the latter surprised the former 2-1 in their first showdown.

The United States recorded the biggest win in Women's World Cup finals history on Tuesday, with Alex Morgan scoring five as they annihilated Thailand 13-0 to take the lead in Group F.

Anticipation is building towards the United States' clash against Sweden on June 20, their first true test of this tournament.
