FIFA Women’s Champions Cup 2026 Semifinals: Check Out the Matches, Favorites, and Where to Watch!
The first edition of the FIFA Women’s Champions Cup brings together the best teams from every corner of the planet!
Announced almost a year ago, the FIFA Women’s Champions Cup is holding its inaugural edition to determine the best women’s football team in the world. In addition to top-level action and the gathering of the world’s best players, the tournament also offers sports betting opportunities.
The competition featured an initial round held in October, between China’s Wuhan Jiangda, champions of the AFC Women’s Champions League, and New Zealand’s Auckland United, winners of the OFC Women’s Champions League. The Chinese side advanced and, in December, lost the second round to ASFAR from Morocco, champions of the CAF Women’s Champions League.
Now, the new international women’s football tournament reaches its final stage, with the semifinals and the final taking place between January 28 and February 1. The matches will be played at Brentford Stadium, with the final held at the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal’s home ground, in London. With that in mind, Blaze has prepared a guide to the upcoming matches, with team details and where to watch the FIFA Women’s Champions Cup 2026!
Gotham vs Corinthians
The first semifinal match of the 2026 Women’s Champions Cup is between Gotham FC and Corinthians, kicking off at 9:30 a.m. (Brasília time) at Brentford Stadium this Wednesday (28). The American side Gotham qualified as champions of the 2024/25 CONCACAF W Champions Cup, while Brazil’s Corinthians lifted the 2025 Libertadores.
On the American side, German goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger stands out as one of the team’s top players. At 35, she also represents the German national team, with whom she won an Olympic bronze medal in 2024. But stars are not exclusive to Gotham. Corinthians are captained by left-back Tamires, a silver medalist at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
Head-to-Head History
This matchup marks the first-ever meeting between Corinthians and Gotham.
Predictions
According to experts, Gotham are the favorites against Corinthians. The New York-based team competes in the NWSL, one of the strongest women’s football leagues in the world, and secured a historic three-peat in 2025.
Even so, Corinthians cannot be seen as mere underdogs. The Brazilian side also achieved a double last season, winning the Libertadores to qualify for the world tournament and claiming the Série A1 of the Brazilian Championship.
Arsenal vs ASFAR
Also on the 28th, but at 3:00 p.m. (Brasília time), Arsenal face Morocco’s ASFAR, who advanced from the second round. The English side are the reigning UEFA Women’s Champions League winners, while their opponents lifted the CAF continental title.
Arsenal’s main weapon on the pitch is English forward Alessia Russo. She is considered one of the best players in the world today and won the UEFA Women’s Euro 2025 with England. On the ASFAR side, midfielder Anissa Lahmari, formerly of PSG, also boasts notable achievements, including a runner-up finish at the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations.
Head-to-Head History
Arsenal and ASFAR have never faced each other before.
Predictions
This matchup also has a clear favorite: Arsenal. In addition to coming in as champions of the highly competitive UEFA Women’s Champions League, the club was also named Team of the Year 2025 at the Ballon d’Or awards organized by France Football.
ASFAR do not carry the same level of hype as their opponents and are expected to struggle on the pitch. Still, it is worth remembering that they defeated China’s Wuhan Jiangda in the second round and will be eager to snatch a place in the final.
