Where can I watch the next Matildas games?
The Australia vs Canada friendly match featuring the Matildas will be streamed live and exclusively on Paramount+. At this stage it does not seem that there will be a free-to-air option to watch the game, meaning a Paramount+ subscription will be necessary to tune in. This caused a lot of uproar with the recent Socceroos matches so we’ll have to wait and see if a free TV option is added closer to the time.
