S4C will broadcast highlights of the Cymru women’s football team’s matches starting with their game against the USA.
On Sunday 9 July Cymru will play against the USA for the first time in California, with highlights to be seen on S4C on the Monday 10 July.
This is the first time the team has played outside Europe, with Cymru taking on the champions as part of the United States’ preparations to defend its World Cup title.
Highlights of Cymru’s Nations League matches over the Autumn will be shown, with games against Germany, Iceland and Denmark.
Angharad James, Cymru vice-captain, said: “I’m delighted to hear S4C will be broadcasting highlights of our national fixtures, starting with the game against the USA.
“The game against the world champions will offer the perfect preparation before we start our Nations League campaign in September, where we will face some of Europe’s strongest teams.
“It’s really important that the highlights are available on S4C to promote the Welsh language and to inspire girls to fall in love with football.”

Geraint Evans, S4C’s Director of Strategy, Content and Publishing, says: “It’s a very exciting time for women’s football in Wales, and in partnership with BBC Wales, we’re looking forward to bringing the best of our national team’s internationals to a new audience on S4C.
“We’re also committing to broadcasting more games from the Genero Adran Premier next season, to give the games a well-deserved platform as interest increases. We already have a close relationship with the Football Association of Wales, and we’re proud to play our part in developing the women’s game in Wales.”
S4C will also increase coverage of Genero Adran Premier matches, with more games than ever to be seen during the 2023/24 season.
It was recently announced that Cymru men’s team matches will be available to view live on S4C until 2028, and the U21 men’s team campaign for the 2025 UEFA U21 Championships can be viewed on the channel’s platforms.
