Netflix is doubling down in North America on the women’s World Cup soccer tournament.

The streamer on Friday announced it had secured the official TV rights in Canada for the FIFA Women’s World Cup in 2027 and 2031. That followed Netflix earlier picking up the same exclusive broadcast rights in the U.S. for the marquee women’s soccer tournament for 2027 and 2031 to expand its push into live sports.

“We are thrilled that Netflix will be FIFA’s exclusive partner in Canada for the Women’s World Cup in 2027 and 2031. With under two years to go until the first match in Brazil, we are hard at work on planning and aim to give fans unparalleled access to the most prestigious competition in women’s football,” Gabe Spitzer, vp of sports at Netflix, said in a statement.
